PLATFORM

What is DJI Dock 4?

DJI Dock 4 is a stationary take-off, landing, battery swap and charging platform for automated drone operations. The dock works exclusively with the DJI Matrice 5TD and requires the DJI O4 Ground Station for communication and RTK. Together with DJI FlightHub 2, recurring missions can be planned, monitored remotely and integrated into operational workflows.

MISSION PROFILES

What missions is DJI Dock 4 designed for?

DJI Dock 4 is suited to organisations that want to carry out recurring operations more efficiently, reproducibly and quickly. The platform is particularly strong where drone missions need to be planned regularly, monitored remotely or integrated into existing processes.

WORKFLOWS

Automated workflows and professional operations

DJI FlightHub 2 lets you plan, execute and monitor missions for Dock 4. The automatic battery swap shortens the break between consecutive missions. Inspections, security flights and documentation tasks are integrated into a traceable process.

Routine missions with clear processes
Regular missions can be planned in a standardised way and repeated reliably.
Remote operations with less need for on-site presence
Missions can be controlled and monitored remotely, with clear responsibilities in day-to-day operations.
Short breaks between consecutive missions
DJI states around 25 seconds for the battery swap and under 45 seconds from landing to the next take-off. These figures apply under DJI test conditions, with the battery swap measured from a fully closed dock cover.
Rapid availability for defined scenarios
For defined alarm cases, operational procedures and responsibilities can be set in advance. The actual response time depends on the site, weather, connectivity and operating concept.
Better standardisation and traceability
The platform helps teams to plan, carry out and properly document missions in a reproducible way.
PLATFORM BENEFITS

Why DJI Dock 4 stands out for professional operations

DJI Dock 4 combines rapid mission turnaround with the Matrice 5TD multi-sensor drone. For the practical roll-out, we align power supply, data connectivity, weather limits and operating processes with your mission profile. Times stated for the battery swap and re-launch apply under DJI test conditions.

PLATFORM DRONES

Matrice 5TD for DJI Dock 4

The DJI Matrice 5TD combines visual inspection and thermal imaging in a dock drone. Three visual cameras, each with 50 MP, complement the native thermal camera with 1280 × 1024 pixels. DJI states up to 59 minutes of flight time under laboratory test conditions without additional payload; actual mission duration depends on flight profile, weather and equipment.
