The story
A concrete problem, solved in open source.
DroneDB was created to solve a concrete problem: drone data is huge, mixed and hard to share. Today it is an open-source platform that makes it searchable, viewable without plugins and shareable with a link or as a QGIS layer.
The project took part in Regione Lombardia’s Bando Archè 2020 for the international commercialisation of the software. The core is written in C++ under the MPL-2.0 licence; the registry in C#; the Hub interface in Vue 3.

What it brings to clients
What we learn here, we use for you.
Big data and permissions
Indexing, searching and protecting terabytes of files is the hard part of every AI project on documents.
Open source and standards
No lock-in: open formats and public code, just as we recommend to our clients.
Running in production
Releases, monitoring and support for thousands of users, every day.
Digipa AI
Huge data, strict permissions.
Indexing, searching and protecting terabytes of files is the hard part of every AI project on documents. We do it every day on DroneDB; semantic search is on the 2026 roadmap.
