See our Technology in Action
We’re constantly working on new projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible with drone technology. We love hosting visitors for key projects like these, as it demonstrates the kit in action and shows drone operations at their best.
Get in touch if you want to join us in the field to see the tech firsthand and meet the team:
- Biocide Cleaning Trials, Cheshire: On 17th & 18th September, we will be working on a UK-first trial to apply biocide cleaning products by drone.
Project Spotlight: Restoring the Great Fen with Gel
The AutoSpray team recently returned to Cambridgeshire to continue our work at the Great Fen, a key site for peatland restoration. Using a new technique, seeds were suspended in a gel solution before being applied by drone.
This approach helps solve some of the long-standing challenges in ecological restoration. The gel holds the seeds in place, provides crucial initial moisture, and protects them from being eaten by birds. This all helps to improve the overall germination rate and ensures a higher success rate for restoration projects. This kind of work is key to accelerating conservation efforts and making large-scale projects more viable.
Building a Business with Agri-Drones
Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a business with drone technology? The agri-drone sector is expanding rapidly, creating exciting opportunities for those looking to pivot their careers or diversify their farming income.
To help you get started, we’re holding a business webinar and Q&A next month (date TBC). AutoSpray CEO Rob Pearson will be joined by Peter Johnson from QRS, one of our key XAG resellers to cover business fundamentals, including pricing, quoting, sales and marketing, giving you the practical knowledge needed to succeed.
