Established in 2019, by previous aircraft pilot Tom Caska and previous innovation advisor Rakesh Routhu, Aerologix coordinates drone administrators with clients that need aeronautical imaging. The organization says it has joined in excess of 29,000 robot pilots since establishment – up from the 23,000 revealed by the organization recently.
Aerologix’s development plans have been fuelled by a $2 million capital raise supported by Lindsay Phillips’ Songbird Accomplices which is multiplying down on past seed raises. The organization is additionally upheld by Ellerston Capital.
Mappa brings to Aerologix a state of the art planning innovation organization that transforms drone information into high goal maps.
Mappa has areas of strength for an in South America and, under Aerologix’s administration, will keep up with tasks overhauling around 185 clients, while its innovation will likewise be integrated into Aerologix’s new contribution, AerologixMaps, which dispatches universally today.
