DJI Unveils Matrice 4E: Ushering in a New Era of AI-Powered Industry Drone Operations

2025-02-17

Recently, DJI, the global leader in drone manufacturing, officially launched its latest generation of small, intelligent, multi-spectral flagship drone – the DJI Matrice 4E. The release of this drone marks the official entry of industry drones into a new era of AI-powered operations.

As the latest member of DJI's Matrice series, the DJI Matrice 4E is equipped with AI models for detecting people, vehicles, and boats, and opens up the drone's AI computing power. This innovative design enables the Matrice 4E to demonstrate outstanding performance in high-precision professional surveying and mapping, as well as detailed surface inspection scenarios. Its comprehensive upgrades in cameras, image transmission, environmental perception capabilities, and other hardware and software bring users a smarter, more efficient, and reliable operational experience.

It is understood that the DJI Matrice 4E is equipped with an advanced laser ranging module that provides real-time precise annotation and measurement functions. Users can quickly calculate the length and area of work areas through simple point-plotting, line-drawing, and area-delineation operations. This function is particularly important in emergency scenarios such as wildfire rescue, where it can measure the extent of the fire in the shortest time, providing effective references for rescue command, manpower, and material allocation.

In addition, the night mode of the DJI Matrice 4E has been significantly upgraded. Full-color night vision supports three modes and offers two levels of enhanced noise reduction options. Black-and-white night vision, combined with near-infrared fill lights, allows the drone to easily break through limitations in dark environments, achieving high-quality shooting and inspection. At the same time, the drone is equipped with six high-resolution low-light fisheye lenses, significantly improving visual low-light positioning and obstacle avoidance capabilities, enabling automatic obstacle avoidance, intelligent detouring, and safe return in urban low-light environments.

In terms of thermal imaging, the DJI Matrice 4E has an image resolution of 1280×1024, with an ultra-clear mode that presents thermal imaging details precisely. Each device undergoes rigorous temperature measurement accuracy calibration before leaving the factory and is continuously calibrated during operation through ambient temperature sensors, ensuring more accurate temperature measurement results. This function is particularly important in scenarios such as power line inspection and equipment detection, helping users to timely identify and address potential safety hazards.

Worth mentioning is that the DJI Matrice 4E is also equipped with a medium-telephoto camera, covering a wider range of medium-telephoto equipment inspection tasks. In power and bridge inspections, the drone can detect pins and cracks from a distance of 10 meters and even see instrument data at substations. Furthermore, its telephoto camera has a 4800-megapixel resolution, capable of capturing license plate information up to 250 meters away. The upgraded telephoto foreground stabilization technology maintains the stability and clarity of the foreground subject in 10x or more telephoto shooting, making it particularly suitable for various inspection scenarios.

In addition to comprehensive hardware upgrades, the DJI Matrice 4E also supports collaborative operations with DJI's GS Pro 2 and Pilot 2. Through the collaboration of GS Pro 2 and Pilot 2, drones taking off from the operation site can connect to the cloud-based GS Pro 2 platform, allowing the command center to directly take over drone flight and guide front-end operations. This function further reduces the professional requirements for front-line operators, achieving a remote operation mode similar to automated drone ports, enabling efficient collaboration between the front and back ends, and helping industry users create a more efficient integrated air-ground operation experience.

The release of the DJI Matrice 4E drone is not only a breakthrough in technological innovation for DJI but also a result of deep insight into user needs. DJI has always been committed to bringing innovative and reliable products and solutions to users, enabling more advanced tools and production methods to benefit various industries. With the release of the Matrice 4E, the intelligence level of industry drones will be elevated to a new height, continuously addressing the growing operational needs of industry users in complex scenarios.

It is reported that the official price of the DJI Matrice 4E in mainland China starts at RMB 27,888. Users can place orders through DJI's official online store and DJI's industry official partners. In the first year of purchase, users will also enjoy the DJI Care Industry Worry-Free Flagship Edition service, benefiting from more attentive after-sales service and support.

The release of the DJI Matrice 4E undoubtedly injects new vitality into the industry drone market. We look forward to this drone playing a greater role in future applications, bringing more convenience and benefits to industry users.
