Sphere is a leading full-stack drone technology provider and strategic partner of Esri Australia. Together, the two are pioneering automated drone-to-cloud workflows by integrating Esri’s Site Scan with Sphere’s HubX and HubT systems. The result is a turnkey aerial intelligence platform for industries across Australia

The partnership tackles one of the biggest challenges in drone operations: the manual handling of raw drone data. Traditionally, even with automated flights, imagery must be downloaded, transferred between devices, and pushed through fragmented processing before it becomes usable.

Sphere’s HubX, HubT and Curo platforms remove these barriers, reinforcing its role as Australia’s leader in Drone-in-a-Box (DiaB) technology. Integrated with Esri’s Site Scan, they close the loop on remote operations and set a new benchmark for aerial intelligence.

This fully automated workflow streamlines operations, reduces costs and improves safety. From take-off to cloud delivery, organisations receive ready-to-use maps and models


Areas of specialisation

End to end automation 

HubX and HubT enable drones to operate without manual intervention, automating every stage from capture to cloud delivery.

Seamless system integration 

Designed to connect with enterprise systems like Esri Site Scan, Sphere hubs ensure data flows smoothly into existing geospatial and operational ecosystems.

Remote mission management 

With Curo, organisations can monitor, schedule and control drone operations from anywhere, reducing the need for on site personnel.

Scalable deployment

Sphere hub architecture supports single site operations through to national scale rollouts, giving industries the flexibility to grow without workflow bottlenecks.

Enhanced safety and efficiency

By eliminating manual handling and enabling remote operations, Sphere platforms cut operational risk while accelerating the delivery of actionable insights.
