Smart Agriculture & IoT

Agricultural Drones & Crop Analysis

Drones capture the whole farm from the air, and image processing with AI models turns each flight into maps of emergence, growth, stress, disease and expected yield.

Agricultural Drones & Crop Analysis

The whole field, analysed from above

Drones focus on the whole growth period of crops. Equipped with visible-light, hyperspectral, multispectral, thermal infrared or LiDAR sensors, they take periodic aerial images that the image processing system analyses with large models. Seedling emergence analysis guides replanting, growth analysis guides variable-rate fertilization, lodging analysis assesses disaster losses, spike counting estimates yield, and pest and disease monitoring grades infestation levels. A unified platform handles route planning, real-time operation and visualisation of results. Large farms, cooperatives, insurers, research stations and agricultural authorities use drone analysis to manage wide areas quickly and objectively.

ASFAN supplies agricultural drone and crop analysis systems for farms, cooperatives and agricultural authorities across the UAE.

Yield and quality enhancement

Growth and NDVI maps show weak zones early, so fertilization and care can be adjusted field by field during the season.

Disaster early warning and loss assessment

Disease, lodging and water-shortage maps reveal problems quickly and document the affected area for decisions and insurance.

Reduced pesticide and input use

Variable-rate prescriptions apply fertilizer, water and crop protection only where analysis shows they are needed.

Market and harvest planning

Spike counts and yield estimates before harvest support logistics, storage and sales planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which crops can be analysed?

The analysis models are widely used for cereals such as rice, wheat and maize, and can be applied to many field crops. ASFAN confirms the available models for each crop during project planning.

What results does each flight produce?

Depending on the sensor and model: seedling counts and emergence rate, average NDVI and growth rating, lodging area and percentage, male-spike detection, disease health percentage and severity proportions, spike counts and estimated production.

Do we need our own drone pilots?

Routes are planned on the platform and flights are largely automated. ASFAN can provide training for your team or include flight services in the project.
