Elevate your project.
At Afridrones, we create practical and innovative UAV solutions for individuals or companies of all sizes, pushing the limits of what’s possible. We form valuable partnerships and assist you along every step of the way. From concept to accomplishment, we’re here to transform the way drones integrate into your business’ growth strategy and operations.
The UAV market is changing and growing as we speak and the level of complexity (regulation, equipment capabilities, processing requirements, data analysis, etc.) is high. Within companies, the level of expertise and trained personnel is usually quite low.
Afridrones has amassed a wealth of knowledge through partnerships and first-hand expertise. We help clients with Requirements Definition, Project Planning, Equipment Selection, Training, Data Capture as well as Analytics.
Pricing for these consultative projects is based on the complexity of the assignment, specialized expertise required and anticipated turnaround time.
Afridrones offers a more efficient, cost-effective and exceptionally safe Infrastructure inspection process with UAVs. We deliver better, closer monitoring and control, while you focus on running your business operations as usual.
Precision technologies have driven the farming revolution in recent years. Afridrones monitors crops from the sky using agricultural sensors on drones; looking to bring the next revolution to africa. We enable agronomists, agricultural engineers, and farmers by providing them with efficient crop insights. Plan more accurately and focus your time on managing operations.
Before Planting
-Ground Elevation maps to check that your field is level
-Weed analysis to identify crucial areas for herbicide application
After the crops have emerged
-Stand count analysis to measure the exact number of plants per ha
-Create variable rate application maps, so you don’t have to fertilize everything but only the necessary areas with the recommended dosage
-Variable-rate application maps for crop dusting with herbicides or pesticides.
-Plant stress analysis to identify areas which are affected negatively
-Weed analysis to help you choose the right chemicals for the specific weed types
-Water stress analysis helps you find areas where water can not drain, and you will eventually get rotten roots
-Pest and disease analysis where we measure biomass and different indexes. For example, NDVI or NDRE indexes to detect potential diseases before you can see them with the naked eye.
-Yield estimates to give you an indication of what the minimum yield per ha will be. Financially plan the upcoming season and significant investments at a much earlier stage.
After harvest
-We use multiple soil moisture indexes to map out the overall field moisture. You can then dry out the field evenly with the help of soil cultivation and thus reduce the chemical used to fight weeds in the next season.
We offer a range of service tiers for Aerial Surveillance. However, as this is a sensitive topic, we kindly ask you to contact us directly for any details on the software we are developing, the platforms we are using and the capabilities of our anti-poaching program.
Aerial Application with drones allows for a high level of automation, tremendously increasing accuracy over conventional methods that utilize helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. We spray agricultural fields as well as farmland against bush encroachment.
Besides the high accuracy and efficiency, aerial application with UAVs offer many additional benefits that include:
Wet soil conditions do not limit UAV application
We treat from above. With aerial-application, rainfall and wet soil do not delay crop treatment when it’s needed. Especially in Namibia, the windows for treatment are becoming a lot smaller due to the extreme climate, and the farmer needs to act; We can get the job done.
No crop loss or damage
Since drones do not come into contact with the crop, there are no tracks, no run over plants, and no yield loss due to uncalibrated application equipment.
It’s fast, much faster
Aerial Application is the quickest and most efficient method of application today. Our fleet of drones can complete over 100ha a day. For large agricultural growers and grocery producers, this means we can cover entire projects in a day.
Does not cause topsoil runoff
Since the UAV flies overhead, it does not compact the soil and does not create a source for topsoil erosion.
Does not spread disease
We don’t have to make our way through the field from the inside and thus prevent spreading the disease to non-contaminated areas of the field.
Precise
Advanced GPS guidance ensures full coverage of the field with visual confirmation. Accurate flow control technology grants an even rate of application.
Selective
When spraying bushveld to prevent encroachment, we can remove protected tree species or larger trees from the flight plan. Preferably, we use a chemical that works via the leaves as we can target individual trees instead of broad areas.
For customers, who are flying their own UAVs, we also have something on offer. Make use of our high-end computing system, available to you at affordable rates. Don’t bother to purchase expensive software and learn how to use it. For ease of mind, we charge a per ha rate. We have experience in processing large datasets of over 19 000 images in under 24 hours. Send us an inquiry and we can discuss a solution that suits your schedule and budget.
Drones have the potential to revolutionize numerous areas of our lives. However, today, their most significant disruption is in the field of mapping. Drone surveys are a faster, safer, and a more cost-efficient way to capture the data you require.
We offer a variety of outputs to suit your remote sensing needs. Are you looking to plan contours for your fields? Measure stockpiles at your business facility? Gain information on the maximum holding capacity of your dam? Or monitor progress on a construction site. We extract the data, make sense of it, and report right back to you.
Not sure if a drone can take care of your specific application? Contact us; we are looking forward to showing you how it’s done.
