APPLICATIONS

The SmartPlane drone will efficiently cover large areas. That makes it an excellent tool for quickly getting an overview of crops and plantations, and for generating terrain development plans. The specialised cameras will allow you to make high precision analysis of your crops, detect pests or stress. In case you land where the drone is hard to find, such as in a cornfield, the special tracker included in our system will guide you to the exact location of the plane.

The human eye can only perceive certain wavelengths. A camera, however, is able to see far more, for example near infrared(IR). IR cameras can be used for surveying crops and plants since chlorophyll reflects IR. A healthy plant with more chlorophyll will for example reflect more IR than an unhealthy plant, giving you valuable information on what areas to take care of and focus on. The camera will also help you detect signs of stress, ripeness and overall development of the crop.

Other applications

Power line inspection

Drones are an effective way to inspect power lines. The benefits are many, it is environmentally friendly and without disturbing humans or wildlife. The use of drones simplifies preventive maintenance measures that reduce the probability of unplanned interruptions.

Survey and mapping

With our drone systems you are able to quickly survey large areas with a very high precision. When you analyze the data from the flight, you can generate DSM:s and orthophotos that are accurate down to a couple of centimetres. All done quickly and safe.

Mining

Work such as documentation, inventory, surface exploration, volume calculation of stockpiles and determination of removed volume can be done quickly and safely, and in almost any weather. By monitoring mines and quarries, operational planning is streamlined.

Forest detection

Our system is regularly used for mapping forests, finding wind-thrown trees and monitoring damage from insects etc. Today, it is common practice for companies in the forestry business all over the planet to navigate through thick forests looking for piles of timber or trying to survey the area.

Humanitarian aid

Drones help and do good. They are used worldwide by companies, organizations, researchers and citizens in various uses. Here are some examples of areas where UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) does something really good for humankind and for the planet. The sky is definitely not the limit.
