Agriculture
Precision agriculture powered by drones gives farmers field-level data to reduce inputs, protect yields, and manage land more sustainably.
Modern farming is a data problem as much as a soil problem. Knowing exactly where a crop is stressed, where irrigation is failing, or where pest pressure is building — before visible symptoms appear — is the difference between a timely intervention and a lost harvest.
Multispectral drone surveys generate NDVI, NDRE, and NDWI indices across entire fields in a single flight, producing maps that reveal spatial variability in crop health, water uptake, and chlorophyll content with a resolution that satellite imagery cannot match. These maps guide variable-rate application: applying fertiliser, herbicide, or water only where it is needed, cutting input costs and reducing the environmental footprint of the operation.
For vineyards and orchards, canopy analysis tracks vegetative vigour zone by zone across the growing season, enabling targeted management of individual rows or blocks. Precision spraying drones complement the data workflow, applying product directly to the identified zones with minimal drift and at a fraction of the labour cost of ground rigs. Livestock tracking completes the picture for mixed farms, using thermal and optical sensors to locate and count animals across large or difficult terrain.
