Agriculture Drone Software Development

In order to work autonomously, drones have to feature a clear set of instructions. One of the best ways to program those instructions is to tie them to modern map technologies. Through features such as GPS, a drone should be able to move in a predefined area without major divergences. The core problem is that map programming is a rather complex field that includes many complex APIs. In this regard, you can be sure that Keenethics will offer top assistance to you. We have experience of working on map technologies for multiple products. Consequently, our company brings more than sufficient skills to include high-quality map programming into your drone software. More importantly, we’re more than capable of making it as customizable as possible, increasing the long-term adaptability of the solutions in question.

A core problem with agriculture is the difficulty of making an adequate assessment of field health. In the majority of cases, the relevant decision-makers have to make inferences based on a certain sample of plants rather than on the analysis of the whole field. While this approach makes sense in the majority of cases, it can also lead to incorrect predictions about field yield in certain situations. In this respect, drones with tools like thermal recognition can act as a perfect solution to the outlined problem. Their core benefit is the ability to fly over a field and offer tools for a full-scale analysis of its state. You can use a live video feed to analyze them in real time, or utilize advanced photographs with various filters to see if there are any other negative trends. This technology ultimately offers an opportunity for better decision-making, as it provides information of higher quality to the decision-makers than in the past. 

Many agriculture businesses are investing into the full-scale smart-farm systems these days. What’s the core reason for those investments? Firstly, a growing shortage of labor on the market that occurs due to the structural changes in the economy. Secondly, a drive to boost the quality and quantity of yields. Smart farm technologies remove many tedious tasks associated with traditional agriculture, allowing agriculture experts to focus on the more complex issues. For instance, they automate watering and even some aspects of crop collection. In this light, drone systems are a technology that can greatly enhance the farms in question. Apart from observation tasks, they are also capable of sprinkling auxiliary substances and even controlling certain aspects of farm management through the use of AI-based software. If you have a smart farm system, you can address Keenethics to add drones into the overall framework.

Drones are capable of collecting tremendous amounts of data. As a result, a major reason to hire an agriculture software company is to process the information in question. A major problem encountered by agriculture companies in the past was the inability to analyze all incoming information. Modern computer tools are notable for their ability to finally do this. They can not only read the relevant figures but also connect them to produce new advanced insights. In short, there’s an opportunity to use the so-called Big Data, which arises from the combination of smaller insights. Keenethics has experience of developing Big Data products and, hence, can use this knowledge to advance analytics software capable of implementing those features in the agriculture sector.

Livestock management shares a very similar problem with the more general agriculture. There are many assets and they’re spread over large territories. This aspect creates a danger of losing some of them or failing to take certain aspects of livestock management into consideration. Considering all this, drone software may represent a perfect solution to the problems of the presented field. How exactly can drones help? Above all, by simplifying the task of observing the livestock. Now, finding lost cattle is easier and, as a result, one person can control more herds than in the past. Agriculture software development, in this case, is beneficial because it simplifies the work of the relevant specialists and, more importantly, minimizes the potential losses of core resources.

Drones are notable for their capability to collect tremendous amounts of information about the state of various fields. Instead of analyzing a small sample, they can offer you an overarching view. However, collecting information isn’t sufficient. You also need to process it to maximize the value of your decision-making. In this regard, a vital tool to consider is the usage of crop health analysis software. Keenethics, once again, has sufficient experience when it comes to developing such agriculture drone software solutions because we’ve developed agriculture frameworks like My Grass Growth, which offer high-quality analytics solutions to the relevant decision-makers.

Data collected from all types of drones can be used for one more task: it allows predicting yield from certain fields. In this case, two types of predictions are possible. Firstly, you can collect predictions based on current information by analyzing the existing state of the fields. Secondly, there’s also an opportunity to collect data in the long term, creating advanced predictive models that encompass information from several years of observation. Keenethics has created many types of custom software capable of such advanced analytics. We’re, thus, confident when it comes to developing an advanced custom drone software that assists with yield analysis in both real-time and long-term scenarios.
