Multispectral Imaging

Going beyond what the eye can see. Our multispectral drone captures data outside the visual light spectrum, revolutionising plant health monitoring with early disease detection.

How it works

Our drone is equipped with Green, Red, Red Edge and Near Infrared sensors, capturing reflectance invisible to the human eye but rich in plant health information — combined into vegetation indices that map crop yield, plant vigour, plant stress and more.

  • NDVI — detect stressed plants, differentiate crops, track growth stage
  • NDRE — insight into leaf chlorophyll content
  • GNDVI — estimate photosynthetic activity, water and nitrogen content

Prescription application & AI weed detection

We use this imagery to build pinpoint-accurate prescription maps, tailored to your crop for cost-saving, variable-rate chemical or fertiliser application. AI software goes a step further, identifying and mapping individual problem plants or weeds within a crop.
