Capability 06

Predictive Agriculture & Smart Farming Companion

The drone becomes an intelligent farming assistant — predicting soil conditions, crop health, future yield, pest threats and managing entire farm cycles using AI.

How It Works

1. Soil Analysis

Advanced soil moisture sensors combined with NDVI mapping analyze overall farm health and hydration levels.

2. Disease Detection

Onboard AI uses image classification to detect early signs of crop diseases (blight, rust) before they spread.

3. Pest Identification

Thermal and motion analysis identify pest hotspots, distinguishing between harmless wildlife and crop-destroying insects.

4. Yield Prediction

Machine Learning models predict future yield volume and suggest the optimal harvesting time for maximum profit.

Use Cases

Why Impressive

Combines IoT + Drone Robotics + Machine Learning — the core future of agriculture. It shifts farming from "reactive" (fixing problems) to "predictive" (preventing them).

Technical Highlights

  • NDVI/NDRE vegetation index mapping
  • Soil moisture & temperature sensors
  • Disease detection (CNN models)
  • Pest prediction heatmaps
  • Autonomous precision spraying

Outcome

Creates an intelligent, predictive farming system that significantly increases yield while reducing water, fertilizer, and operational costs.
