Hextronics
"Autonomous drone infrastructure, anywhere"
Miami-based drone infrastructure company providing autonomous battery-swapping docks and flight management software for commercial UAS operations.
Hextronics is a Miami, Florida-based drone infrastructure company founded in 2020 by Curtis Lary, Nicholas Mulka, and Todd Lary. The company designs and manufactures autonomous drone docking stations with integrated robotic battery-swapping systems, enabling continuous unmanned aerial operations without human intervention between flights.
The company's flagship product line includes the Hextronics Universal and the Hextronics Atlas 300. The Universal dock is a modular, aircraft-agnostic system that supports drones from DJI, Parrot, and Anzu, completing a full battery swap in as little as 80 seconds and achieving 99.99 percent operational reliability for continuous missions. The Atlas 300 adds an advanced precision centering mechanism that ensures repeatable autonomous landing across varied environmental conditions.
Hextronics differentiates itself in the drone-in-a-box market through two core capabilities: proprietary robotic battery swapping for sub-2.5-minute turnaround time (versus slower trickle-charge-in-dock alternatives), and an aircraft-agnostic universal dock design that avoids customer lock-in to a single drone platform. The company's HexAir software layer provides mission orchestration, flight automation, and API abstraction across supported drone platforms.
Primary markets for Hextronics include public safety agencies, agriculture, energy and utilities (oil and gas inspection), construction site monitoring, and government security operations. The company has demonstrated its technology at Miami Tech Week and other industry events, and received early recognition by graduating from the Georgia Tech CreateX Start-Up Accelerator and winning the GT Engineering Capstone Design Competition.
Hextronics has raised approximately $2 million in funding, with investors including Founders Fund and Backswing Ventures. The company has around 10 employees and is expanding its global distribution through the Hextronics Global program, targeting international markets with affordable dock hardware.
