Many of us seek methods to optimize crop production by gaining more information from the field. Various technologies are available for grower’s aid electronic devices, sensors, data management applications, and artificial intelligence (AI) technology, to name a few. These trends became more critical in the past decade or so and became a center of research
Dragonfish Series: Fixed Wing Drones: Autel Robotics has developed the Dragonfish Fixed Wing Series Drones. There are three versions in the series: Dragonfish Pro, Dragonfish Standard, and Dragonfish Lite.

Generally, Parrot has stopped producing drones for the general public consumer anymore. When you pull up their website you see the ANAFI AI and the ANAFI USA drones being marketed. You also see that Parrot identifies their company mission with building professional drones that focus on the needs for industries in: Inspection, first responders, firefighters,
DJI has developed a variety of aerial drones that farmers can use for monitoring and managing the health and potential environmental stresses for their crops and fields. The Agras T-Series Drones (T-10, T-16, T-20, T-30, T-40)are agricultural drones used for spraying crops and fields. It can perform multiple missions for surveying, mapping, spraying, and spreading.
The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station is a GNSS Mobile Station that can work with most all global satellite navigation systems. It has real-time corrections that achieves centimeter-level positioning data which allows for greater accuracy. It is enabled with 4G, OcuSync, WiFi, and LAN capabilities allowing for communication between the drone and the station. You can
Coaxial twin rotor design allows for an increase in the payload capacity – max payload 50 Kg Has a dual atomized spraying system for even spreading. It has a magnetic drive impeller pump. The pump is totally isolated from the drone’s motor so the chance of corrosion in the motor is greatly reduced. It can
* Note this is an earlier model of the DJI Matrice Series Drone * The DJI M100 (w/ DJI Smart Farming Package) combination is not available as a new drone bundle purchase. It is still listed on vendor sites but its status is either discontinued, back order, or out of stock. There are some used
This is the virtual perimeter restrictions imposed on drones during their flight. Geofencing is achieved by using global positioning satellites (GPS), WiFi, radio frequency identification (RFI) with the drone’s built-in software. It is employed as a way to keep the drone from enter areas that it is not permitted to access. Learn More
