Our drones are equipped with advanced sensor technology to ensure precise and efficient operations for agricultural applications.

Each of these sensors plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of our drone applications, leading to better data collection and more effective agricultural management.

Sensor Technology

Onboard Camera: Provides a live feed of the application area, allowing real-time adjustments and preventing overspray to non-target areas. This ensures accuracy and reduces waste.

Omnidirectional Radar/Obstacle Avoidance: Detects and avoids obstacles such as trees, power lines, and buildings, enhancing safety and preventing collisions during flight.

Pump Speed Sensors and Flow Meters: Monitor and control the flow of application materials with high accuracy. These sensors provide redundancy and ensure consistent application rates, improving overall effectiveness.

Weight Sensors: Measure the exact amount of payload onboard, ensuring optimal load management and accurate application of materials.

On-Demand Adjustable Droplet Size: Allows for precise control of droplet size to minimize drift and maximize coverage. This adaptability helps in achieving more uniform application results.

Radar Sensor: Further aids in obstacle detection and collision avoidance, contributing to safe and reliable drone operation.

Height Sensors: Maintain a consistent distance from the ground, which ensures even application and improves the quality of treatment across the field.

GPS & Navigation Systems

Our drone technology integrates advanced GPS and navigation systems to ensure precise spray pattern and a consistent spray rate. We utilize standard GPS signals to enhance accuracy with automatic navigation to get the best possible result.

By leveraging satellite maps, our systems accurately determine the size and layout of fields, allowing us to plan operations. This detailed planning ensures that our drones and sprayers follow the most efficient routes, optimizing coverage while minimizing operational risks.

The integration of GPS and navigation systems not only enhances the efficiency of our operations but also improves the effectiveness of data collection. With precise flight paths and accurate field mapping, we are able to deliver superior results and actionable insights for your agricultural and operational needs.

Aerial Equipment

Spraying Technology

Our advanced spraying equipment features cutting-edge technology to ensure precise and efficient application. We utilize magnetic impeller pumps and flow meters to maintain accurate flow rates and consistent coverage. The integration of centrifugal nozzles represents the latest in spraying technology, delivering optimal dispersion and enhanced performance across various applications.

Seeding Technology

For seeding, we employ a high-performance onboard broadcast spreader. This technology is designed to efficiently distribute seeds, whether directly onto the ground or within established crop canopies. The broadcast spreader ensures even coverage and promotes successful germination for a range of crops.

Safety Features

Our drone technology is equipped with advanced safety features designed to ensure secure and efficient operations.

Key Safety Elements Include:

Obstacle Avoidance Systems: Our drones are fitted with obstacle avoidance technology to detect and navigate around obstacles, reducing the risk of collisions and ensuring smooth operation even in complex environments.

Automatic Return to Home: In the event of any issues or signal loss, our drones are programmed to automatically return to their starting point, maintaining control and safety throughout the flight.

Live Camera Feed: The real-time camera feed allows operators to continuously monitor the application area, ensuring precise control and immediate visibility of the drone's surroundings.

Mapped No-Spray Zones and Obstacle Markers: We incorporate pre-mapped no-spray zones and obstacle markers into the drone’s flight path, ensuring that applications are made only in designated areas and avoiding any restricted or sensitive zones.
