Agricultural Drones – Indian Market

Technology Briefing

Quite stable drones for agricultural spraying of seeds, natural chemicals in liquid as well as in solid form. These drones are powered by K++V2 flight controller. As a new generation flagship flight controller system, K++V2 integrates the advantages of the classic flight controller K3A, and strengthens compatibility and multiple redundancy schemes to form a redundant control system with superior performance, strong reliability and effective guarantee Work safety.

 

Usual drone specifications below,

  • Comes 10L or 20L capacity.
  • Hobby wing X6 Motor + ESC + Prop * 6 Pcs
  • EFT 610P Frame with 10L Tank / 20L tank is also available
  • Tattu 6s 16,000mAh 15C * 2 pcs
  • Hex copter or Octo copter variants available based on  spraying capacity needs.

 

Drone Performance Factors affecting flight time

  • Battery Capacity: The flight time is heavily influenced by the capacity of the drone’s battery. A larger battery capacity typically results in a longer flight time.
  • Efficiency of the Drone: The efficiency of the drone’s propulsion system and overall design plays a crucial role. More efficient drones can cover longer distances or stay in the air for a longer duration with the same amount of energy.
  • Weight: Carrying a 10 L payload significantly increases the weight of the drone. Heavier payloads require more energy to lift and maintain flight, thereby reducing the overall flight time.
  • Environmental Conditions: Wind speed, temperature, and other environmental factors can impact the drone’s performance and energy consumption.
  • Flight Controller and Flight Path: The flight controller’s algorithms and the flight path programmed can influence energy consumption. Efficient flight control algorithms can optimize the drone’s movements, conserving energy and extending flight time.

 

Typical Solution – Use Cases – Paddy Cultivation

  • This can spray a 1 acre land within few minutes.
  • Spare battery is advisable to ensure continuous operations.
  • A minivan or small car i
    s needed to transport the drone. Transporting in a 2-wheeler is not advisable considering the size of the unit.
  • The spraying exercise can be done by 1 person and does not need a second person support. Assuming the person can drive the vehicle too.

 

Overall Solution

The drone is integrated with backend services for monitoring, tracking and billing purpose. User friendly iOS/Android app is available for remote monitoring and billing purposes.

 

Conclusion

This is a stable and proven solution hardly requiring any maintenance. Most parts are locally available across the globe. Contact us if you want to purchase a complete kit.
