The company Leica could be supported by us in the following points:

• We brought knowledge in the field of Xamarin
• With our know-how we could set up a feasibility analysis and advise the company Leica

• Support of the DJI CrystalSky Tablet (Android)
• Display of the flight route
• Create and edit projects and missions
• Configuration of the drone / periphery
• Communication with the onboard software developed by Leica
• Communication with the drone, DJI Matrice 600 Pro
• Export of the flight data
• Controlling the camera
• Operating the camera control mechanism
• Execution, monitoring (telemetry) and management of survey missions

We were involved in the project from the very beginning. In a first phase, various prototypes, test software and hardware were developed and analyzed. After a feasibility analysis was carried out together with Leica, the development of the product could be started.

In this project, two software teams worked together. One team developed all the software for the onboard software and we developed the Android application to control the drone. To ensure that the teamwork and information exchange between the two software teams worked efficiently, a daily stand-up meeting was set up. In this meeting all project members were present and could exchange information about the current status.

The project process was designed very agile to implement new features or changes as quickly as possible.

During the cooperation with Leica and an external design company we were able to gain a lot of experience in mobile app development.
