Drone mapping for growers

Find every weed patch, then spray only those

Our drones fly the paddock and AI weed detection maps the weeds for spot spraying, in fallow or in the standing crop. Green on brown maps come back within a day of flying.

The drones

Two drones, three jobs

A DJI M350 RTK and a DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral fly the paddock. Every scan is stored in Cropix against the paddock, and the maps go straight to your controller as shapefile, GeoTIFF or PDF.

NDVI flights

Stress maps, fungicide VR maps and crop monitoring through the season.

Spot spraying

Weed maps you can load and spray

Each patch the AI finds becomes part of a spray map: spray where the weeds are, and leave the rest of the paddock alone. The same flight can be read as patches for a spot-spray map or as a density heatmap.
