A 33-year-old woman repairs drones and earns over 5 million a year. She also plans to expand her robot dog repair business.

In the maintenance workshop of Jiangling Technology Company in the Terminus Science and Technology Innovation Park of the Sino-French Wuhan Ecological Demonstration City, the 33-year-old person in charge, Yi Juan, is carefully studying the maintenance plan of a large plant protection drone together with the technical person in charge.On the shelves of the warehouse next door, there are more than 50 drones waiting for repair neatly arranged. Here, it usually only takes three days from delivery to completion.

"In the past, if a drone malfunctioned, it would be sent back to the original factory for after-sales repair. From detection to repair and return, it could take as fast as a week or as slowly as half a month." Due to the long repair cycle and high cost, Yi Juan, who has been engaged in drone sales, is keen to seize the opportunity. In 2022, she made a decisive transformation and devoted herself to the field of drone maintenance and technician training.

Today, her company repairs more than 6,000 consumer and professional drones every year, and its annual operating income exceeds 5 million yuan.

In addition to maintenance business, Yijuan also opened drone maintenance training courses, attracting students from many places across the country. Yu Yihe, a 25-year-old boy from Henan, is one of the more than 50 students currently in training and has been studying here for nearly a month. He said: "I studied drone application technology in college, which focused on theory and lacked practical operations. Here I can not only learn basic maintenance, but also master practical skills such as flight control debugging. I plan to open a maintenance shop in my hometown after completing my studies."

So far, more than 200 students have graduated from Yi Juan's training class, and more than 60 of them have returned to their hometowns and successfully opened their own drone repair stores.As for the future, Yi Juan also has new plans: "In addition to drones, we also plan to expand the maintenance business of intelligent equipment such as robot dogs and humanoid robots."
