Cultivating better tools, for better results
The agricultural industry has adopted UAV technology for crop health assessment, field mapping, payload transportation and livestock monitoring. In today's competitive farming sector, technology is crucial for managing crops, ensuring their health and tracking assets. Farmers face the challenge of improving crop health and land productivity while reducing costs. UAVs can help, but agricultural mapping covers larger areas requiring longer flight times and accurate mapping for reliable insight into crop health.
Accurate mapping, measuring and monitoring crops and land use are essential for successful farms. High-resolution RGB cameras, multispectral or hyperspectral sensors can be used to assess crop health. Using an Applanix APX-18 UAV provides accurate, fast results without GCPs and reduces flight line overlap, allowing larger areas to be covered in a single mission. This approach saves time and costs while collecting the necessary data.
Farming requires high-precision labor and expensive machinery that consumes significant fuel and manpower for operation and maintenance.
In response, farms are adopting technology to lower costs and improve efficiency, focusing on planting accuracy for seed conservation and better ROI, soil condition assessment and reducing employee strain.
Autonomous tractors and equipment save fuel, reduce labor hours and cut overall costs while maintaining precision. Applanix POS LV, part of the Applanix autonomy development platform, provides essential positioning and orientation data for autonomous farming vehicles, enhancing efficiency for large-scale farms.
