Four steps, and a map at the end of them
Below is the demonstration field with one more layer switched on at each step. Same flight, same records, nothing added: this is the prescription being built.
Fly
The boundary and the tramlines the sprayer already runs on. The aircraft flies the same grid every time, so flights compare.
Find
98 weeds, each sized by mapped area. Note where they sit: headland, tramlines, and two patches that have been building for seasons.
Zone
Detections clustered onto a grid a boom's section control can actually resolve. 62 zones, cells under 150 m² of weed left out.
Treat
The finished prescription: 4.34 of 24.6 hectares, exported for the machine already on your yard.
What we bring
- The aircraft, the payloads and the spares.
- Licensed pilots, operator registration and insurance.
- Airspace clearance and the flight log that proves it.
- Processing, the models, and a human reviewing anything they are unsure about.
- Prescriptions in the format your terminal reads.
What stays yours
- The machines that do the treating. We do not spray your arable fields.
- The agronomy. A recommendation is a recommendation, not an instruction.
- The data. Your imagery and your records are yours, exportable at any point.
- The calendar. Move a flight, skip a window, add a field.
The limits, stated up front
Weather closes windows. A thermal flight needs the right hour, a photogrammetry survey needs light, and wind above the airframe's limit grounds everything. Cancelled flights are reported with the reason and rescheduled, not quietly dropped.
Aerial application of plant protection products is prohibited by default under German and EU law, with narrow exemptions, mostly for steep vineyard terrain. Where an exemption applies we can fly the treatment. Everywhere else, the map goes to your machine.
A model output is not a diagnosis. Disease flags say a patch has diverged from the rest of the field, and something has to be walked to before a spray decision. The scouting route we send exists precisely because that step is not optional.
Counting has a margin. A yield estimate is a range that narrows across the season, and we publish the range rather than the midpoint, because the midpoint is the part that gets quoted and the range is the part that is true.
Start with one field and one flight
You get the report before you commit to a calendar. If the map does not tell you something you did not know, there is nothing to sign.
