🧑🏻‍🌾 What they're all about

For the farmers! (and large-scale plantations) They use drones and IoT tech to level up efficiency and productivity. Oh, and they build preventative and predictive agricultural solutions too!

‍

🌾 How it works

One-stop-shop! They've launched a B2C app for farmers to access drone services and farm products like chemicals and fertilizer.

Efficiency boost. They're developing IoT tech for worker tracking and ultra-precise drone spraying to improve efficiency while spraying, fertilizing and harvesting.

• Especially at those huge plantations, you can't be wasting precious time and resources!

And more. They also do mapping and data analysis. Plus, lots of other new products are coming up.

📃 Big, big conglomerate contracts

They already have a mapping contract with APP for 300,000 hectares and did a forestry project with Sinar Mas Group. They've shown best-in-class results!

🚜 What's next

They're looking to expand their drone fleet and double down on developing their products and launching new ones.
