DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian M. Crosby
last week, air data UAV and Blue Innovation Co., Ltd. announced the formation of a partnership to create a Japanese version of AirData’s global fleet management platform. This new development provides Japanese pilots and fleet operators with a localized and fully translated interface for AirData, along with functionality that meets the requirements of the Japanese Civil Aviation Authority (JCAB). This project sets the stage for future translations of the AirData platform.
“Blue Innovation has been a great partner in launching AirData in Japan. Both our organizations share a passion for fostering the growth of safe and successful drone use.” CEO of AirData As Eran Steiner of “Releasing the Japan AirData platform will enable Japanese pilots to improve flight operations, risk management and flight data tracking. Our improved translation infrastructure will allow us to introduce additional languages into new markets.” Our goal is to accelerate the adoption of drones around the world in a safe and compliant manner.”
AirData is used by over 270,000 customers worldwide for mission planning, drone and pilot management, and regulatory compliance. Meanwhile, Blue Innovation is a pioneering leader in Japan’s burgeoning driverless vehicle industry. The two companies have worked together to provide a translated Japanese market version of the AirData platform. Juida‘s membership management system was developed based on Blue Innovation’s Blue Earth Platform. These companies have also implemented new features suitable for Japanese legal regulations from governing bodies such as the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB).
“Blue Innovation attaches great importance to our relationship with AirData,” said Takayuki Kumada, CEO of Blue Innovation. “They are industry leaders in drone data management and compliance and share our passion for advancing the unmanned aerial vehicle industry. We believe that we will be able to work with them and build good relationships with regulators.”
A pioneer in the use of drones for commercial purposes, Blue Innovation is the developer of the Blue Earth Platform (BEP), made to integrate a variety of autonomous devices such as robots, driverless vehicles and smart sensors. The company has a longstanding relationship with JUIDA, with the two organizations sharing the goal of facilitating the future of Japan’s unmanned aerial vehicles and collaborating on developing educational packages and commercial solutions.
