WHO WE ARE
WE ARE
EnviRobotics Ltd is an aerial robotics company which produces industrial UAV's to perform specific tasks safer, greener and economically. These tasks would otherwise be done using bulky high emissions machinery.
Subject matter expertise is line hauling drones. The process of hauling requires specific drone design and software features to ensure stability and control under the high drag load conditions.

WHAT WE DO
INNOVATION
The flagship product is the AeroKontiki, which replaces short-range fishing boats. Introduced in 2014 was the world's first fishing drone used to haul fishing longlines up to 1200ms. It's compact, powerful and operates in harsh wet and windy New Zealand West Coast conditions. The West Coast is known for excellent fishing, but it is dangerous for small fishing boats. The AeroKontiki fishing system was engineered to work with supporting implements such as electric game reels, winches and launching bait systems. The target market is the retired who migrated from using heavy torpedo fishing Kontiki's to advanced AeroKontiki systems.
BENEFITS TO THE TARGET MARKET
01
Safety
The user stays on dry land while casting the line in rough seas where a boat cannot be used and people cannot swim
Ease of Use
The Aerokontiki controls itself. The user just directs the heading and distance. Failsfe systems ensure the Aerokontiki manages battery State of Charge, overloads, loss of radio signal, and distance.
02
03
Reliability And Dependability
Made with the tough carbon fire materials, and controlled with the best Autopilots available,programmed with Audipilot software customised for our specific uses.
Elegance And Luxury
Each Aerokontiki is personalized to the proud owners requirements with fine airbrush art coated with automotive clears paint.
04
05
Eco Friendly
Reaches similar distances as a small boat with a fraction of the clean energy used.
PORTFOLIO
OUR NEW PROJECTS
Transferable and scalable technologies are in development for forestry applications, where wire rope ridgelines are setup across mountains so that timber haulers can drag out logs for processing.
Currently, forestry workers manually haul wire ropes from ridge to ridge. This activity is where serious injuries occur, and the process can take a few days. Helicopters are also used for this task but it’s expensive, dangerous and challenging, especially if operated far from an Aerodrome.
THE BENEFITS OF USING A HAULER DRONE WITH SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED IMPLEMENTS ARE

MARKET
OPPORTUNITY
Forestry is an annual gross income of around $6.7 billion
It contributes 1.6% of New Zealand's GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
It employs around 35,000 people in wood production, processing, and the commercial sector.​
New Zealand Forestry Market
A record 35.4 million cubic metres of timber was harvested in 2018, an increase of 10% on the previous year.
Volumes are expected to be high for the next decade (to 2030) as forests planted in recent decades reach maturity.
The export value of forest products in the year to June 2018 was $6.38 billion – $3.3 billion from logs and $3 billion from other forest products.
New Zealand’s net stocked planted production forest covered an estimated 1.73 million hectares as of 1 April 2018.
The total planted forest standing volume was estimated to be 491 million cubic metres with an average forest standing age (area-weighted) of 17.63 years.
In 2019, there was 22,000 hectares of new planting
Total sawn timber production was 4.5 million cubic metres
42% of all lumber produced was exported
SAFETY
Forestry is one of the most dangerous industries in New Zealand. 50% of the injuries forestry workers report are to soft tissue – including sprains, puncture wounds, cuts, dislocations and hearing loss. ... Forestry workers are 22 times more likely to die at work than workers in other industries.
Common Forestry fatalities are caused by :-
