# iDrone Innovations (IDI)

> iDrone Innovations builds automated drone systems for Drone as First Responder (DFR) programmes and industrial inspection. The product line combines weatherproof docking stations (ADS600, ADS1000, PDS) with the IDI Fly software platform, enabling drones to launch, fly missions, and return autonomously — controlled remotely from anywhere. IDI is a UK company based in Reading, England.
