The secret to a 200% increase in the operational efficiency of agricultural plant protection drones

SpatiX |
Pain points: Frequent setup of temporary base stations and low efficiency of drone operations. With the deepening of urbanization, the agricultural population is decreasing, and mechanized agriculture has become an inevitable trend. Take pesticide spraying as an example. If plant protection drones capable of autonomous flight and pesticide spraying are used instead of manual spraying, only the flight route needs to be set, and all other work is completed by the flying robot - the drone, which will greatly improve work efficiency.

However, traditional plant protection drones need to go through a series of preparations before autonomous operation. First, operators need to hold surveying and mapping equipment to mark points around the edges of farmland and obstacles within it to obtain a "farmland map"; second, a temporary base station needs to be set up near the farmland to provide a reference benchmark for the production of the "farmland map" and, at the same time, improve the positioning accuracy of the drone through the transmission of differential signals, keeping it stable at the centimeter level.
 
Only with drones that plan routes based on maps and have centimeter-level positioning accuracy can autonomous flight and spraying operations be realized. However, since it is impossible to ensure that each temporary base station is set up at the same location, data such as "farmland maps" and flight routes cannot be reused, and re-measurement and planning must be carried out before each operation of the plant protection drone.
 
In addition, the cost of a temporary base station is about 20,000 yuan. Coupled with repeated setup and evacuation, it affects production efficiency.
 
The inability to reuse data such as "farmland maps" and the high dependence of operations on temporary base stations have become the biggest bottlenecks encountered by traditional autonomous flight plant protection drones in large-scale applications.
 
How to improve the work efficiency of plant protection drones? Let's take a look at SpatiX Cors Center.
 
With SpatiX Cors Center, there is no need to set up temporary base stations, and plant protection drones can also achieve fully autonomous flight, with an operation capacity of 150 mu per hour. Compared with traditional autonomous flight plant protection drones that operate about 50 mu per hour, the efficiency is increased by 200%. What's the secret?
 
SpatiX's centimeter-level high-precision position service can improve the positioning accuracy of plant protection drones to 10 centimeters. Plant protection drone customers only need to purchase an account for each drone to achieve centimeter-level positioning and perform fully autonomous flight.
