Flybi / Technology Platform
The Flybi Stack
One platform. Every sensor. Every site.
The Flybi platform is the integrated stack behind every deliverable we ship — sensor hardware, capture orchestration, geospatial processing, AI analytics, and enterprise delivery. Purpose-built to take drone-captured data to industrial decisions without improvisation at any layer.
Architecture
Four layers, hardened in production.
Every Flybi deployment flows through the same architecture. Accuracy, reproducibility, and auditability are properties of the system — not dependent on a specific operator or project.
Sensor & Capture
Type-certified drone platforms with interchangeable payloads. Mission planning, terrain following, RTK anchoring. Calibration routines enforced per mission.
Geospatial Processing
Versioned photogrammetric, geophysical, and point-cloud pipelines. Every stage logs input hashes, code version, parameter set, and output checksums.
AI Analytics
Feature extraction, change detection, volumetric QC, anomaly scoring. Models trained on proprietary ground-truth datasets accumulated over every deployment.
Enterprise Delivery
Audit-grade PDF, signed CSV, DSM/DTM rasters, API feed. Handoff formats match where the customer actually works — ERP, GIS, finance systems.
Layer 01
Sensor stack & capture orchestration.
We operate a multi-sensor fleet — RGB, LiDAR, magnetometer, multispectral, thermal — on type-certified drone platforms. Sensor selection is job-driven, not preference-driven. Every capture is RTK-anchored, GCP-referenced where accuracy demands it, and metadata-stamped end-to-end.
Photogrammetric imaging
20 MP+ global-shutter cameras on RTK drones. Standard sensor for stockpile volumetrics, topography, and infrastructure inspection.
Magnetometer payloads
Cesium-vapour and fluxgate magnetometers with sub-nT resolution. Tow-body and mast configurations for platform signature isolation.
LiDAR & point cloud
Survey-grade LiDAR for vegetation-penetrating topography, sheltered stockyards, and linear-asset corridors.
Multispectral & hyperspectral
Used for spectral discrimination in exploration, environmental monitoring, and crop / land-use contexts on demand.
Thermal infrared
Radiometric thermal for self-heating stockpiles, solar-farm inspection, and conveyor / infrastructure condition monitoring.
Mission command
Flight planning with terrain-following, no-fly-zone compliance, auto-RTH, swarm-capable command when mission demands. DGCA-aligned.
Layer 02
Geospatial pipelines — versioned, reproducible, audit-ready.
The most important property of an industrial intelligence platform is not accuracy in one run — it is the same accuracy on every run. Flybi’s processing pipelines are versioned, parameterized, hash-checked, and logged from input to output. A deliverable from six months ago can be regenerated byte-for-byte.
Photogrammetry
Dense matching → DSM / DTM → Volumetrics
- Structure-from-motion bundle adjustment
- Dense multi-view stereo to sub-5cm point density
- DSM & DTM generation with automatic ground classification
- Per-feature segmentation and volumetric calculation
Geophysics
Magnetic pipeline — IGRF to target ranking
- Diurnal correction from ground base station
- IGRF removal, heading-error compensation, lag correction
- Tie-line levelling and micro-levelling
- Gridding, derivatives, Euler depth solutions
LiDAR
Point-cloud processing
- Trajectory adjustment and strip alignment
- Ground / non-ground classification
- DTM extraction under vegetation
- Change detection between epochs
Reproducibility
Version-pinned & metadata-stamped
- Every run logs code version, input hashes, parameter set, output checksums
- Deliverables include full provenance in sidecar metadata
- Re-runs are byte-for-byte reproducible
- Audit trail retained for 7 years
Layer 03
AI analytics — trained on industrial ground truth.
AI in this domain is only useful if it’s trained on the right data. Flybi’s models are trained on proprietary ground-truth datasets accumulated over every deployment — which means performance compounds with every site we measure.
/01
Change detection
Per-pile and per-block change between epochs, with anomaly scoring on unusual movement.
/02
Feature extraction
Automated segmentation of stockpiles, structural lineaments, geological units, infrastructure assets.
/03
Volumetric QC
Automated residual checking against known ground-truth control points; reports flagged if out of tolerance.
/04
Target ranking
For exploration: ranked drill targets with confidence scoring, combining magnetic response, geometry, and structural context.
/05
Anomaly flagging
Stockpile shrinkage, pilferage signatures, pile geometry aberrations — flagged inside the standard monthly report.
/06
Compounding data moat
Every deployment adds to the ground-truth training corpus. The platform gets sharper every quarter.
Layer 04
Enterprise delivery. No portal-hopping.
Industrial intelligence should land where your team already works. We integrate directly with ERP, GIS, and finance systems on request — so Flybi outputs move from "report on a shared drive" to "live data inside your workflow".
Finance
ERP & accounting
Signed CSV and JSON endpoints into SAP, Tally, Zoho Books, or custom ERP. Audit-grade line items, monthly.
Operations
GIS / dashboards
WMS / vector tile endpoints into ArcGIS, QGIS, and internal GIS portals. Live feeds, not static exports.
Geology
Exploration software
Direct import into Oasis montaj, Leapfrog, and standard exploration stacks. Native file formats, no format-wrangling.
Trust layer
Security, compliance, data sovereignty.
Industrial and exploration data is material. We treat it accordingly.
Data sovereignty
Customer data is stored in the region of operation. India data stays in India. Africa data stays in Africa (or as contractually specified).
Access control
Project-scoped access. Named individuals. Audit logs on every file touch. NDA-backed engagements by default.
Regulatory alignment
DGCA-compliant operations in India, partner-country frameworks overseas. Operation-specific permissions for sensitive airspace.
