More frequent drone operations on farms are expected to flourish following the release of the HubT operating system
Farm operations have been trying to find ways to incorporate the benefits that drones offer to access difficult terrain have an added advantage following the introduction of Sphere Drones HubT operating system.
This next step iteration of innovative Hub solutions for farms shows how the HubT system makes it easier for operators to use drones from a fixed location, without the complicated setup that was previously required.
HubT is designed for ease of use but is still versatile enough to ensure farm operations across many different sectors can start using advanced drone operations without delays
Paris Cockinos the CEO of Sphere Drones outlines some obvious advantages, “Our goal with HubT is to make using drones simpler and faster for farmers, especially when they are operating beyond their immediate line of sight.
“This new product comes ready to install, removing the hurdles that used to complicate fixed-location drone use and Drone-in-a-Box operations,” Paris added.
HubT transforms the way drone operations are set up and managed. The system can be installed quickly and within existing structures, making it adaptable to many different types of operations.
This scalable solution can improve operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks or support multiple drones with the one operator.
Advantages of HubT
- It includes an automated drone that starts and operates on its own.
- Comes with a variety of sensors that can capture a wide range of environmental data.
- It can easily integrate into existing setups at any location.

“Sphere Drones’s solutions provide the game-changing benefits of drone technology for farmers and other types of rural businesses through saving on optimising their operations,” Paris Cockinos continued.
“We continue to see strong interest from new and existing clients in Australia and internationally for our HubT and HubX solutions. They are looking for reliable drone solutions for remote operations or are choosing Sphere Drones to handle their drone management,” Paris Cockinos added.
A recent study by the Federal Government found that increasing drone usage could save businesses up to $10 billion over the next 20 years. The biggest savings are expected in agriculture, mining, forestry, construction, and fisheries.
Every month, over 700 people in Australia are trained in drone operations, and 98 companies have obtained or applied for licenses to operate nearly 10,000 commercial drones.
“I’m extremely proud and grateful for our team’s dedication to rapidly developing this innovative solution. 2024 is shaping up to be another exciting year for Sphere Drones, and for our clients who will elevate their drone operations with HubT and our existing HubX system,” Paris Cockinos concluded.
