Drones for Agriculture Aonic
Malaysia
Drones for Agriculture are using aerial analytics and automation to support plantation management. First, the drones are used to map a large plantation area quickly. Then, proprietary algorithms are used to analyse the crops for health. Finally, autonomous spraying drones perform targeted spraying on affected areas. Plantation owners also have a copy of the land map for management purposes to streamline operations. The digital solution was developed by a startup (Aonic), which has headquarters in Malaysia and is also deployed in Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam. It’s a business-to-business solution providing services in smart farming, farm management and advisory using data analytics and business intelligence, drones, machine learning (ML) and remote sensing technologies.
