Steps
Onboard supported drone and docking-station hardware into the FlytBase cloud platform (FlytBase is vendor-agnostic across drone/dock combinations)
Use the Drone-in-a-Box API to issue remote launch/land commands and query charging/docking station status
Schedule recurring or event-triggered missions to run with little to no human intervention from the FlytBase command center
Use RESTful FlytBase APIs to connect drone data/events into external business applications (CRMs, GIS, ticketing systems)
Set up 'Flinks' (FlytBase's automation/workflow linking feature) to chain triggers and actions across missions without custom glue code
Monitor fleet-wide status through the fleet management module for hybrid, geographically distributed fleets
Known gotchas
Vendor-agnostic compatibility claims still depend on the specific drone/dock model being on FlytBase's supported hardware list — unsupported combinations require custom integration work
BVLOS automation implies regulatory authorization (waivers, shielded operations, etc.) separate from the FlytBase platform itself — the software enabling unattended flight does not substitute for the required FAA approval
Docking station status/telemetry granularity varies by hardware vendor, so error handling for charging/dock faults needs to account for inconsistent status reporting across dock models
