SkyTech help growers use NDVI image data to achieve tangible results. SkyTech Multispectral Imaging combines high-resolution aerial imagery with advanced analytics software to help farms, orchards, and vineyards optimise irrigation strategy and performance.

In a nutshell, this service can quickly and accurately pinpoint any stressed areas in your crop, field, paddock, vineyard or orchard even before there is any visible sign to the human eye. This allows you to take a direct and localised action to nonperforming areas.

There are huge benefits both to the farmer and to the wider environment by minimising the use of sprays, fertilisers, wastage of water and at the same time increasing the yield from crops.

Your SkyTech Plant Health Map creates a scale to highlight differences within your area of interest. Working with the grower, a SkyTech specialist will analyse and develop a crop prescription strategy using our NDVI imaging and flight planning software. The drone variables (flow rate, droplet size, height and speed) are adjusted to address problem areas.

Image Capture

We capture imagery during peak daylight hours and under weather conditions that minimise distortion from shadows and cloud cover. Our highly sensitive, Micasense cameras detect minute changes in the multispectral range allowing us to detect crop stress earlier than our competitors.

Processing and Analysis

Imagery is geo-referenced and meticulously “masked” to ensure that only relevant information is evaluated. By making use of crop-specific data models and isolating the canopy from ground cover and other background noise, we prevent skewing of the data and enable a more accurate assessment of plant health.

Solutions in Sight

Our analytics tools and software help you interpret your data, translating what you can see in your imagery into what you can do about it.

Solve with Certainty

Pinpoint irrigation issues and discover opportunities to maximise return on every acre.

SkyTech Imaging delivers irrigation management solutions that help you improve profitability across your operation. Our team of experts provides dedicated support to help you put your data to work before, during, and after your season.

Using high-resolution aerial imagery and advanced analytics, we’ll help you:

• Identify common irrigation problems in your fields before they’re visible to the naked eye—and solve them before they impact your bottom line.

• Track your progress and measure the impact of key farm management decisions.

• Optimise your irrigation strategy to boost yields and profits.

Year-Round Solution

What is terrific about multispectral imagery is that this sensor technology can be used throughout the crop cycle. Whether used during sowing, irrigation, fertilisation or harvesting, drones providing multispectral imagery can be used at each step allowing the farmer to manage his crops very effectively in every season.

Quality control and Delivery

Imagery is assessed in-house by SkyTech specialists, passing through multiple checkpoints before delivery within 48 hours of the flight. All data is stored in the cloud so growers can access their data on a mobile device, tablet, or desktop computer anytime.
