“We are excited to partner with Skydio to support our mutual enterprise customers with this cloud-to-cloud integration,” said gNext President Russ Ellis. “With this connectivity, we are creating seamless integration to allow field collected data to be uploaded for automatic processing in our leading infrastructure inspection platform to deliver improved workflows.”

“Skydio’s US-made, autonomous-drones are incredibly powerful at capturing imagery for asset, site or infrastructure inspections,” said Gagan Kanwar, Head of Technical Integrations & Developer Ecosystems at Skydio. “With this new partnership and API integration, Skydio and gNext will significantly improve inspection speed and quality, enabling customers to lower costs and enhance decision making.”

The integration enables customers of gNext and Skydio Cloud enterprise to upload and organize their flight data through Skydio Media Sync over Wi-Fi. Upon plugging the drone into a power source, it will autonomously transfer its data to the Skydio Cloud, where it can be stored, searched, and shared throughout the organization.

The integration utilizes the Skydio Cloud API, allowing for the automated transfer of media across the Skydio Cloud and the gNext Cloud platform, resulting in a more efficient data analysis process that removes the reliance on manual uploads. This comprehensive solution makes flight-collected media more quickly and readily accessible on the gNext platform, while eliminating the need for SD cards and manual processes.
