The Problem: Lost Maintenance, Expensive Downtime

As your fleet grows, equipment management becomes chaotic:

Result: Preventable failures, canceled jobs, and expensive emergency replacements.

How ColonyCore Equipment Tracking Works

1. Complete Asset Registry

Track everything in one place with serial numbers, purchase dates, and assignments.

  • Drones (make, model, serial, registration number)
  • Batteries (chemistry, capacity, cycle count)
  • Cameras and sensors
  • Propellers, landing gear, cases
  • Controllers and tablets
  • Purchase history and warranty tracking

2. Automatic Hour Tracking

Flight logs automatically increment equipment hours. No manual entry.

  • Total flight hours per aircraft
  • Battery charge cycles tracked automatically
  • Hours since last maintenance
  • Utilization rates across fleet
  • Cost per flight hour calculations

3. Maintenance Scheduling

Set maintenance intervals and get automatic alerts before equipment is due.

  • Propeller replacement reminders (every 100 hours)
  • Firmware update notifications
  • Annual calibration schedules
  • Battery retirement alerts (cycle count or capacity drop)
  • Maintenance history log

4. Availability & Assignment

See what's available, in use, or under maintenance at a glance.

  • Status indicators (Available, In Use, Maintenance, Retired)
  • Assign equipment to specific pilots or jobs
  • Check-out/check-in tracking
  • Location tracking for multi-site operations
  • Equipment sets (kit configurations)

5. Battery Health Monitoring

Batteries are your biggest consumable cost. Track them precisely.

  • Cycle count per battery
  • Capacity degradation tracking
  • Storage charge reminders
  • Swelling or damage flags
  • Rotation schedule to even out usage
  • Retirement notifications (200-400 cycles)
