About drones

Product overview
Agricultural drones are regarded as a leading example in the field of smart agriculture, which has been expanding in recent years.
The introduction of agricultural drones enables reduction in working hours, freedom from heavy labor, and decreased work in dangerous locations, enabling a different way of working compared to conventional agriculture.
Our company handles drones manufactured by XAG, a pioneer in the agricultural technology field. This equipment enables stable spraying by anyone through complete automation. Drones are equipped with a flight control system for agriculture that adapts to all types of crops and natural environments.
Furthermore, positioning using GNSS RTK* enables stable flight with centimeter-level accuracy. Drones are equipped with easily replaceable batteries and chemical tanks, while a streamlined body with reduced wind resistance enables stable flight.
The spraying unit employs an atomizer system capable of spraying extremely fine droplets, suitable not only for rice paddies but also fruit trees.
*A high-precision positioning system that the combines Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) with position data from ground base stations (RTK = RealTime Kinematic).

Support
We provide training programs for operators of agricultural spraying drones. Our specialist staff assists with maintenance such as inspections and repairs, as well as consultation on operation methods.
[Course content]
■ Training on field surveying using RealTime Kinematic (RTK) surveying technology.
■ Training on drone spraying in fully-automated flight by downloading surveying data from the cloud.
Training fee: Please contact the Sales Promotion Section of the AR Division at our Head Office, or your nearest sales office.

・Automatic ventilation systems
・Cloud-based monitoring system
・Robot mowers, etc.
Recent agriculture trends
In addition to global-scale environmental issues such as global warming and torrential rain disasters, the decrease in agricultural producers is becoming a major issue in Japan. As a measure to address these challenges, and to ensure a stable food supply for the future, the “MIDORI Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems” formulated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is a sustainable food system that leverages innovation to achieve both productivity improvement and sustainability in food and agriculture, forestry, and fisheries industries.
Our company is moving forward with efforts aimed at the “MIDORI Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems” in order to reduce pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemical inputs, and improve productivity while lessening environmental impact.
