DRONE FLIGHT PLANNING SOFTWARE

eMotion

Dynamic Drone Management Software

Our eMotion drone flight planning software allows you to intuitively manage your missions, interact with eBee drones during flight and prepare data for post-processing. This advanced, all-in-one desktop ground station features all the functionality you need to collect geospatial data and act with precision.

Block: features

FEATURES

High-performance software for high-stakes missions.

Easy-to-Use

Beginner-friendly yet packed with advanced features to tackle the toughest jobs, eMotion simplifies every step of your mapping project, helping to get your eBee in the air quickly, so you can focus on what’s important – analyzing geospatial data.

Autogenerated 3D flight planning

Plan, simulate and control advanced missions in any terrain, including mountainous areas with autonomous geotagged data capture. Simply draw the area you want to map and eMotion creates the flight plan.

Full covert mission

Adjust the mission parameters or select the optimized preset for the project, camera and terrain type. Covert setting allows silent radio missions with nearly undetectable radio.

Live flight plan change

Easily hold the drone in position and adjust the flight path or landing spot during flights.

Multi-drone operations

Fly up to four drones at the same time, all controlled from one ground control station. All images are geotagged, even from different eBee X series drones, offering less field time, faster data collection, fewer disruptions, less downtime and improved operational efficiency and ROI.

Offline planning

Fly in disconnected environments thanks to offline background maps and elevation data.

Camera settings

During the flight, the drone camera is autonomously triggered. Feel free to adjust some of the camera settings within eMotion, like the picture format, white balance, exposure bias, time target or ISO, which are important for image calibration.

Optimized flight modes

Horizontal, corridor, point of interest (POI), multiple or fully custom mission blocks.

Versatile application

eMotion serves various industries such as agriculture, utilities, environmental, surveying, mining, humanitarian, governmental, disaster management, coastal and more.

Measurement tools

Easily measure your area’s total length, the lowest and highest altitude of the terrain (using the elevation data) and the total positive and negative elevation change.

Free updates

eMotion is regularly updated based on customer feedback and the different industries’ needs. The newest version of the software is available to download for free for all eBee X series users.

Logbook

Check valuable info in your drone’s flight logs, such as date and flight time, drone serial number, flight duration, distance, payload, photos and more.

Recurrent mapping

Create a mission based on another, save missions for recurring mapping, add past missions to your favorites, and check your recently planned missions.

Block: grid_links

Flight simulator

Flying experience recreated with included RTK/PPK. Possibility to modify parameters to see their effect on the drones.

RTK / PPK accuracy

RTK / PPK accuracy comes integrated for capable drones, like the eBee X and eBee TAC. eMotion flight simulator includes RTK / PPK post-processing accuracy simulation.

Mission creation in 5 minutes

Just a few minutes are needed to prepare a simple mission, with the possibility to choose optimized presets or custom settings such as GSD and overlap.

Real time info

Drone battery level, home distance, link quality, flight time, altitude, wind, ground and air speed, and more.

Geotagged images

Images are automatically geotagged during flight to provide you with a time-saving advantage in post-processing that vastly reduces third-party software compatibility issues.

Why eMotion?

Why Multi Environment

Multi-environment Mapping

2D and 3D
Activate the mode you prefer to navigate the map and visualize the terrain more accurately. The elevation color map also helps you check site elevation and plan your flightlines accordingly.

Custom background
Use included eMotion maps, import KML files or create your own. Custom maps are ideal for recurrent mapping projects and for monitoring changes over a period of time.

Terrain following
eMotion enables by default terrain following, but you can also import your own elevation data easily. The software allows exporting your KML trajectory to check in Google Earth Pro.

Why Online Offline

Online and Offline Use

Online
eMotion connects wirelessly to your drone, to industry cloud solutions, to survey-grade base stations, airspace data, and even includes live weather updates.

Offline
Are you planning a flight, but you won’t have Internet connectivity in the field? Simply download map data for offline use in advance/at the office and use it on-location without the Internet.

Radio link
If the connection between eMotion and the drone is momentarily lost, the eBee continues the mission, taking photos as planned, and lands. When the radio link is lost for more than 5 minutes, the drone returns home and lands.

Why Safety Actions

Safety Features

eMotion safety features contribute to the regulation advantages that our drones provide to eBee operators, such as BVLOS and Operations Over People (OOP) approvals.

Interaction during drone flight – Modify a flight plan or send commands anytime during a planned mission.

Airspace management – Import geo-awareness maps to have all the restricted and no-fly zones on your flight map

Notifications and warnings – Audio and color-coded advisory, caution and critical notifications before and during flight.

Why Safety Actions

Safety Actions

Taken by the drone – When detecting strong wind, low light, lens cap on, GNSS accuracy degradation and more, the drone will automatically return to home for landing.

Available to the operator – During flight and with just a few clicks, modify the path, the landing spot, hold the drone in position, resume the mission, perform an emergency landing and more.

“A drone’s flight management software defines your experience if this is complicated or confusing, operations can quickly become a chore. eMotion is different: it’s advanced, scalable drone software that anyone can use.”

Scott Hiebert
CEO, Green Aero Tech

“It’s important that UAS products are autonomous and in the case of the eBee this is very true; I found its take-off and landing particularly well thought out. The safety measures embedded in its eMotion software are also smart.”
