![MMC develops Powerline Stringing in Indonesia market]( "MMC develops Powerline Stringing in Indonesia market")
MMC – the professional unmanned aerial vehicles manufacturer brings benefits to the world's largest archipelago country – Indonesia. Commercial and industrial UAVs were not popular in Indonesia because of the lack of information and general views towards the new technologies. However, the MMC product efficiency made a clear case of turning the Indonesian developers Cipta Mitra Andalas (CMA), into early adopters of UAV technology. CMA, a local power line subcontractor from Sumatra – is in charge of the management of power line stringing and inspection of the island. In the past, the inspection work was based on traditional methods of manual inspection. CMA had to employ numerous workers and invest significant funds to complete projects. The most recent power transmission development was crossing 3.1km of palm oil plantation. The estimated expenditure for covering this area exceeded millions of dollars and months in administrative approvals. With MMC’s X6 model--drones for power line inspection, the CMA developers have managed to considerably decrease the expenditures and time, and accomplished the project within a day. Namely, the X6, Spider solution flew 4 to 10 minutes in order to successfully string two power transmission towers. There were 8 communication towers cross the palm plantation and with the UAV flying at 100 meters height, the stinging went by with promptness and ease. MMC’s latest technology in the powerline stringing offers a solution that is both extremely economical and environment friendly.

![Do You Know the Open Secret of Industrial Drones]( "Do You Know the Open Secret of Industrial Drones")
Recently, a report from Taibo Intelligence Unit has captured people's eyes and turned the follower's attention to the industrial drone field. Compared with the commercial drones, which are usually used in photography, industrial drones provide rather specific usage. The current race for improving the service quality and pushing the performance limits in industries such as agriculture, electricity, oil, firefighting and public security is fundamentally increasing the popularity to industrial drones (UAVs). The industrial drone industry develops so fast while it still get much less public attention compared to commercial drones, soTaibo Intelligence Unit has looked into the industrial drone fields and have done a detailed comparison of top 5 industrial drones' specifications including the advantages and disadvantages. Below are the results of analyses.I. AppearanceA6MD4-1000Falcon 8eBeeDraganflyer CommanderSize(mm)1550*1342*4911030*1030*500770*820*125550*450*250873*873*294.6MaterialCarbon fiberCarbon fiberCarbon fiberEPP foam, carbon structureCarbon fiberAxis648Fixed wing4FrameunibodydetachableundetectabledetachablefoldableColorred/greywhiteblack black red/green/whiteWeight(kg)32.651.10.692.75Figure 2The Figure 1 indicates apparent difference between commercial UAV and industrial UAV in terms ofappearance. The largest among the five dronesexceeds 1.5m and the smallestdrone on the list is the fixed wings UAV does not exceed more than 0.5m. In terms of materials, the strong and light-weight carbon fiber goes for the most popular choice. As for the frames, (Figure 3) Draganfly’s Commander uses patentedfoldable techniques, which gain edge over the portability and user friendliness. eBee stands out due to its small fuselage, detachable structure and light weight.Figure 3: Commander II. Flight endurance and payloadThe flight endurance is currently a major obstacle in UAV industry. It is a difficult and expensive problem to solve. Most of the drones on market are able to meet the half an hour flight mark. Without a new commercial powering technology, there will be no qualitative leap forward in terms of UAV’s flight endurance.A6MD4-1000Falcon 8eBeeDraganflyer CommanderBattery Capacity22000mAh/6S13000mAh6250mAh2150mAh13500mAhFlight Endurance (without payload）75min45min22min50min40minFigure 4: Flight endurance Due to the battery of large capacity, the flight endurance of the MMC’s A6 ranks the best amongst the 5 brands. At the same time it should be noticed that the flight endurance of the fixed wings drone has its natural advantage. Though eBee has a battery of low capacity, its flight endurance ranks third, which indicates high efficiency level and cannot go unnoticed.Figure 5: A6In terms of the payload, the industry necessities require versatile mounting capabilities without being limited solely on carrying photography equipment. Complex industrial projects frequently require transport of heavier loads. Yet, if the load is too heavy it may cause stability difficulties. Thus, drone manufacturers follow rigorous testing and optimizations. Figure 6 indicates the testing payload chart including the maximum flight time.A6MD4-1000Falcon 8eBeeDraganflyer CommanderThe biggest mounting weight(g)5000120023002001000Flight endurance（with largest mount）28min25min12min45min20minFigure 6 It is clear that MMC’s A6 pulls the gap by its impressive 28 minutes endurance with 5kg payload. The flight endurance with such a significant payload opens additional possibilities for industrial works of which mounting radars, sensors or professional cameras are but a few. III. User friendlyAn industrial drone is relatively expensive, so it is very important for it to have a quick and easy operational options. Although manufacturers provide user and operational manuals to aid the users with operating a drone, learning cost of the users is the best criterion for evaluating the user friendliness.MMC’s A6, MD’s MD4-1000、AscTec’s Falcon 8 and Draganfly’s Draganflyer Commander cannot function without a remote controller while Sensefly’s eBee can be operated with a clear and user friendly surface via both tablet PC and a mobile phone. Besides the user manuals, manufacturers may also record instructional videos to make the users learn quicker. MMC even provides live videos according to customers’ demands in order to deliver one-for-one guiding service. IV. Industrial ApplicationsDrones have entered the industrial market, but what general public concern is how these crafts will affect their everyday lives. Customized drones for different fields are constantly emerging. The number of agricultural drones for crop spraying, drones for powerline stringing and emergency rescue, aerial photographing and surveying is constantly improving. Figure X is the solution chart for the five models. A6MD4-1000Falcon 8eBeeDraganflyer CommanderFieldsInspection, mapping, firefighting, emergency rescue and public safetyInspection,firefighting inspectionInspection, mappingInspection, firefightingFigure 7 Generally speaking, the application of drones relies on size and quality of cameras. The basic application of the all the tested five drones is inspection. MMC, however, offers different solutions within the field of inspection, depending on different demands. The reason for it, is the exceptional payload, long flight endurance and generic gimble that all of its products have. V. PriceApart from the characteristics, the price(figure 8) is another important, if not the most important factorfor positioning a good all-around UAV. Unlike the entertainment drones, the industrialdrones’ price is relatively higher, andmay vary due to the customization.A6MD4-1000Falcon 8eBeeDraganflyer CommanderPrice (dollar)18,50030,00025,00025,00025,000Figure 8

![UAV Giant--MMC Sees Bright Future in Solution Development]( "UAV Giant--MMC Sees Bright Future in Solution Development")
Over the past few years, commercial drone industry has gone through a massive expansion. The matters in the UAV department are sealed; the drones are here to stay as a vital part of human industrial and entertainment activities. Experts predict even bigger expansion in particular fields of agriculture and inspection.The presence of agriculture drones has become so immense, that in China, the leading third-party online payment solution, AliPay is offering an option of ordering online a UAV pesticide spraying service. People are able to rent services of various solutions. As mentioned before, drones are entering the agriculture in a big way. The precision farming has been around for a while now, but the technological improvements and a drone production cost reduction have made this solution accessible to many midsize and smaller businesses. The development has gotten even more interesting when companies started incorporating more than one solution onto a vehicle. MMC’s F4, yet another agricultural drone amongst many, offers a unique combination of options; spraying the pesticide option while equipped with various NIR cameras the other option simultaneously generates (via a separate software) a precise crop analyses. Software applications used in inspection, construction and 3D mapping have also become an option when dealing with big companies. At the moment, the very blueprints of constructing a drone are available online in an open source format. It is out there for grabs by any avid enthusiast to dive into and put a personal touch to the functionally and the design of the drone. Although, the demand for drones is high, more and more companies do not meet the necessary sales margins to stay afloat. General consensus for this misfortune is the lack of “customization” to clients’ needs. It has become obvious that the solutions play the key part in actualizing the sales. Knowing this, many companies have decided to venture themselves into developing not only drones but the actual solutions that come with pre-installed software, user friendly interface and appropriate hardware adjustments. MMC’s F4 and F6 , the agricultural drones, is the prime example of modifying a drone specifically for the purposes of prestige spraying.
