Colorado-based Agribotix, an agricultural intelligence company, has teamed with France’s senseFly to combine its data and analysis software with senseFly’s fixed-wing drone, which they say enables users to collect information faster than with a quadcopter.

Jean-Christophe Zufferey, senseFly’s CEO says, “This partnership creates a professional end-to-end solution that is uniquely easy to use.”

Agribotix’s products include the FarmLens, a cloud-based data analysis and reporting system for those using drones in the agriculture field.

The new partnership is based on senseFly’s new fixed-wing UAS, the eBee SQ. This model was built made using parent company Parrot’s Sequoia sensor, which allows data to come in as RGB along with 4 other ways, (near-infrared, red-edge, red and green).

The technology allows farmers and other users to make better choices regarding their business due to the rapid imaging of current crop conditions.

“[It’s] a great fit for people who are looking for a simple, yet powerful, 100% agricultural solution,” says Agribotix CEO Lou Faust.

“After evaluating the fixed-wing options available today, there was no question that the eBee SQ is the easiest to use long-range drone on the market. It also has the best-in-class agricultural sensor, while FarmLens does the heavy lifting in the background, returning superb quality data presentation via the Agribotix Digital Scouting Report and enabling farmers to make time-critical adjustments,” Faust says.
