Sphere has transitioned to in-house manufacturing through a partnership with Carasel, a move aimed at strengthening its capabilities to support the development and delivery of HubX.
According to a news release from Sphere, integrating design, engineering, and manufacturing within a single facility is expected to improve efficiency and streamline operations.
Sphere has relocated its production facilities to Seven Hills to better align with delivery schedules.
The company states that Carasel’s infrastructure, which includes precision sheet metal fabrication, robotic machining, powder coating, and custom assembly, plays a key role in maintaining production quality and efficiency.

“This shift strengthens our ability to scale the development and delivery of HubX, allowing us to speed up innovation cycles and ensure consistent, high-quality solutions. It’s also a commitment to being Australian made; keeping production local allows us to better meet the needs of our customers and support the broader Australian tech industry.”
Sphere announced that HubX has been included in the DJI Enterprise Ecosystem, making it the first Drone-in-a-Box solution featured on this global platform.
The company states that this milestone, along with early DJI Dock 3 testing, highlights its focus on innovation and market leadership in advanced drone solutions.
