GEOSPATIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY FOR Precision Agriculture
Maximising Crop Yields & Profits: Revolutionise Farming
Precision agriculture is the future of farming, utilising advanced technologies such as sensors, drones, and machine learning to maximise crop yields while minimising waste. By leveraging these tools, farmers can optimise their use of resources, improve their decision-making, and ultimately increase their profits.
Background - Precision Agriculture
Precision Agriculture is the practice of gathering, processing and analyzing agricultural data to support management decisions.
An approach that aims to improve efficiency, sustainability and profitability by optimising resources and reducing wastage, using the principle “What gets measured, gets managed.”
An efficient fertiliser & pesticide programme is crucial in agriculture. The effectiveness of a programme would have to be measured for it to be analysed and improved. Nutrient deficiency or crop diseases can be identified using the Trinity F90+ paired with RGB and multispectral cameras. This provides agricultural businesses valuable insights into the health status of their crops, which are useful in helping them design an efficient programme.

Utilising Geospatial Intelligence Technology
The key to identifying what needs measuring is to identify what requires monitoring.
There are essentially 3 things that require attention when growing crops; pests, diseases and nutrients.
They can be monitored using geospatial intelligence technology and AECA’s aerial services solutions.

Plantation Management
Plantation management involves planning and decision-making activities such as selecting appropriate crop varieties, determining optimal planting times, and identifying methods for controlling pests and diseases.
With the Trinity F90+ drone and Qube 240 LiDAR sensor, AECA Solutions is able to provide data beyond what RGB cameras can provide, due to their vertical take-off and landing ability and terrain follow feature respectively.
The remote sensing capability of the survey-grade LiDAR also makes it possible to penetrate canopies of vegetation and dense forest.

Utilising Geospatial Intelligence Technology
Geospatial Intelligence Technology is a valuable tool for Precision Agriculture, enabling farmers to gather and analyse data to optimise agricultural practices and increase efficiency in farming practices.
Mapping and Visualisation
Create detailed maps and visualisations of fields; helps farmers identify areas that may need more attention, primarily water, fertiliser, or pesticide.
Data collection and analysis
Collect and analyse data about a particular area including rugged terrains which are not accessible by land. The insightful analysis derived from the superior data collected can also be used to track crop growth and yield, and to predict potential issues before they become major problems.
Navigation and location
Provide location-based information and guidance; helping farmers navigate and find their way to a particular location.
Monitoring and assessment
Monitor and assess changes in an area over time to manage resources more effectively, by identifying areas where irrigation or fertilisation can be reduced without impacting crop yield.
Has the potential to improve farming efficiency, reduce costs, and increase yields, while also promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.

How Aeca adds value in Precision Agriculture
“AECA can help your business in 3 easy steps:
Capture, Process and Analyse Data.”
Capture, Process and Analyse Data.”
Step 1: Capture
Step 2: Process
Step 3: Analyse
STEP 1 - CAPTURE
Capture Data
Utilising the latest technology in drones and sensors, we are able to acquire more data in less time.
VTOL Drones
Our Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) drones are capable of covering large areas of up to 10 hectares within 1 hour of flight time.
This gives you as much coverage as an airplane without the extremely high costs, but for a longer duration per flight than a quadcopter, reducing number of flights required for a job.
High-Accuracy Sensors
Using powerful, high resolution cameras, we are able to capture sharper images, better that any consumer-grade cameras designed for cinematography.

STEP 2 - PROCESS
Process Data
Our surveying engineering team has the knowledge and skill set to process your data in a meaningful way in order to fulfill your objectives.
Just as importantly, AECA has the right hardware and software with the capability and capacity to translate raw data into actionable outputs.
The ability to capture data alone is not sufficient to obtain useful results.
Without powerful, high-speed processors with massive storage space, the data would just be that, data.

STEP 3 - ANALYSIS
Analyse Data
With a huge amount of data, comes the challenge of knowing what to do with them.
A successful data acquisition or survey should be able to tell you what you should be doing next.
Picking which results to use for your intended purpose can be overwhelming.
AECA has the experience and expertise to help you analyse the results and determine the next courses of action to either save your business time and money, improve efficiency or increase profitability.
The best outcome would be where all of the above are achieved at once.
