Developed for industrial use, the automated X4 drone is of robust construction and has few moving parts, which considerably reduces the error rate during drone flights.

Matthias Gronstedt, managing director of HHLA Sky, said that X4’s automation capability makes drone deployments scalable. The X4 can form a unit with HHLA Sky’s Integrated Control Center.
