Drones for Agriculture: Monitoring Fields to Improve Decision-Making

VFlyx provides advanced drone agriculture mapping solutions, which are changing the way agriculture is practiced at farms. Using VFlyx, high-resolution drones can be set up to operate whole field coverage for crop monitoring, soil exploration, and irrigation monitoring. The controllers of such unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) use advanced imaging platforms (e.g., multispectral thermal sensors) to give the users the knowledge on which intelligent decisions are based. In the case of farmers, it may be monitored in real-time for pests, timing and treatment of water and nutritional shortages, and application of all-risk preventive measures, including input cost management where possible. Because of the simplicity of the VFlyx platform, it is not hard to make VFlyx the interface to farm management systems and thus integrate the technology of precision agriculture to anybody. VFlyx, through the use of drones in mapping, moves to a second stage of development with the advent of green farming, that is, high-tech land use of a portion of a farm field.
