Can drones help farmers?
Apr 02 , 2022What's advantages about agriculture drone?
1. Efficient and safe. The width of the drone spraying device of the agricultural unmanned helicopter is 3-4 meters, the working width is 4-8 meters, and the distance from the crops can be kept at a fixed height of 1-2 meters at a minimum, and the scale operation can reach 80-100 acres per hour. Its efficiency is at least 100 times higher than conventional spraying. The automatic flight control and navigation operation of the agricultural unmanned helicopter minimizes the time when the staff is exposed to pesticides, so as to ensure the safety of the staff.
2. Autonomous operation of flight control and navigation. The application of unmanned helicopter spraying technology is not limited by terrain and height. As long as the unmanned helicopter takes off in the field and operates on crops within the flight height of the drone farming, the unmanned helicopter uses long-distance remote control operation and flight control navigation autonomous operation functions. Before the spraying operation, the GPS information of the crops in the farmland should be collected, and the route should be planned and input into the internal control system of the ground station. The ground station will issue instructions to the aircraft, and the aircraft can carry the spraying device and spray it autonomously. After the job is completed, it will automatically fly back to the take-off point after completion. While the aircraft is spraying, the progress of the spraying operation can be observed in real time through the display interface of the ground station.
3. High coverage density and good control effect. The Tianying Brothers unmanned helicopter rotor has a stable large wind field and a relatively low operating height. When the liquid droplets are sprayed from the sprinkler, they are accelerated by the downward airflow of the rotor to form an aerosol flow, which directly increases the penetration of the liquid droplets on crops. It has better permeability and reduces the degree of pesticide drift, and the deposition amount and coverage of the chemical solution are better than the conventional ones, so the control effect is better than the traditional one, and it can also prevent the pesticides from polluting the soil.
4. Water saving and medicine saving, low cost. The unmanned helicopter spraying technology adopts the spraying method, which can save at least 50% of the pesticide usage and 90% of the water consumption, which greatly reduces the resource cost. In addition, the unmanned helicopter has low fuel consumption, low labor cost per unit operation, and easy maintenance.
