Manually Adding Equipment

1.1 Drone Operations Center – Manual Equipment Entry Overview

Before you start:

When using a supported drone, the drone is automatically added to your library after its first flight in AirHub.

Manually adding equipment allows you to enter detailed information for any asset that is not automatically imported from external platforms.
This method gives you complete control over the data fields, ensuring all items are properly registered for operational use and compliance tracking.

1.2 How to Manually Add Equipment

Follow these steps to add a new piece of equipment manually:

  1. Open the AirHub Drone Operations Centre (DOC) and log in to your account.

  2. Select the correct Workspace from the Workspace switcher at the top of the navigation bar.

  3. Navigate to the Assets section in the left-hand sidebar and expand it.

  4. Click on Equipment from the dropdown list.

  5. In the header at the top of the page, click the + New button.

  6. A form will appear where you can enter all required details, including:
    Equipment Name
    • Manufacturer and Model
    • Type or Category
    • Serial Number
    • Firmware Version (if applicable)
    • Any other relevant operational information

  7. Once all fields are filled out and verified, Click Save at the bottom of the form.

  8. The equipment will appear in your asset library, ready to be assigned to missions and operational projects.


    Your new equipment is now successfully added to AirHub.

1.3 Important Notes

Serial Number Accuracy:
The Serial Number is the primary identifier for your equipment. It is used for mission assignments, automated log matching, and maintenance tracking.
Ensure the serial number you enter matches exactly the one printed on the physical equipment to guarantee accurate data association.

Data Completeness:
Enter as much detail as possible to help standardise asset records across your workspace. Complete data improves reliability when generating reports or analysing asset performance.

1.4 Importing Equipment from DJI

If you use DJI hardware, AirHub allows you to automatically import compatible equipment (such as payloads, drones, and batteries) along with historical flight data.
This is a convenient way to populate your workspace without manually entering each asset.
