Agricultural drones optimize spraying and input distribution

Within the framework of the Agroactiva exhibition, held in Armstrong, Argentina, the P150 application drone was presented. This technological tool is designed for spraying and distributing solids in the agricultural sector, integrating the stages of diagnosis, decision-making, and execution within a connected agriculture ecosystem.

Operational Capacity and Performance in Large-Scale Systems
The device is developed to complement traditional spraying methods in large-scale operations. The system features a payload capacity of up to 70 liters for liquid configurations and a limit of 70 kilograms for the dispersion of solid products. In terms of temporal performance, the technical parameters record a working capacity of up to 26 hectares per hour in spraying tasks and a transfer rate of up to 2,167 kilograms per hour in solids distribution. These indicators allow for the optimization of resource use and reduce transit times in the field.

Specifications of Distribution Systems and Autonomous Navigation
The internal architecture incorporates dosing systems that achieve flow rates of up to 30 liters per minute for liquid compounds and a maximum of 280 kilograms per minute for solid applications. To guarantee geometric precision during discharge, the equipment utilizes three-dimensional mapping technology that manages flight paths autonomously. This digital infrastructure allows data captured in the field to be transformed into localized actions, facilitating rapid interventions in specific areas of the crop without the need to transit with heavy ground machinery, thereby preventing soil compaction.

Additional Context: Technical Specifications and Competitive Benchmarking
In the segment of high-capacity unmanned aerial vehicles for agricultural use, the P150 model competes directly with consolidated global platforms, such as DJI's Agras series. When analyzing payload volume, this system doubles the 30-liter capacity of the previous industry standard (such as the DJI Agras T30) and positions itself within the range of the highest volume equipment in the category, which averages between 40 and 50 liters of liquid capacity. The spraying flow rate of 30 liters per minute exceeds conventional ejection rates of 16 to 24 liters per minute found in previous generation systems, optimizing the forward speed required to cover the stated 26 hectares per hour under normal operating standards.
