Israeli technology company StrixDrones is celebrating the production of their drone delivery and docking technology systems. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Israel, the company’s first U.S.-based manufacturing facility is located in Montgomery County, Ohio. Local suppliers such as RAM Precision Industries and NCT Technologies Group are providing the company with the materials to keep production rolling.

The company designs and manufactures three systems: DroneDock, a docking station that provides drones a safe and secure place to land, recharge, download data and more. DroneDrop is a delivery mailbox with sealed compartments that allows any size drone to deliver packages, customers receive notices via their Smartphone. DroneDwell is a customizable, climate controlled, secured storage container that can be mobile or on the ground to house and recharging multiple drones simultaneously.

Building the Only Drone-Based Healthcare-Specific Delivery Network

The drone tech company has been awarded a contract to manufacture the Series 2100 docking stations for Spright, the drone solutions division of Air Methods Corp. Spright is building a drone-based, healthcare-specific network delivery system across the United States.

Niv Aharoni, founder, and CEO of StrixDrones, explains that, unlike other docking systems, the customizable DroneDock is the only product in the market with a universal, modular-designed landing pad enabling any drone, including eVTOL, from any manufacturer to land without special adjustments.
