2023-03-08 - The growth in Drones

If you have an interest in drones, well then you will need to check out the Aerolab site at the Central Districts Fields Days. Drones are a viable alternative to traditional spray equipment and with their precision spraying, there are cost savings to be made for the farmer.

These are drones that have enough payload to complete the jobs previously done by more conventional methods. A drone will reduce service and running costs compared to other methods and the more product that is able to be carried will make for more efficient spraying.

With one operator controlling multiple drones, the operation becomes easier and more efficient. This adds to a reduction in workforce and a lower wage bill. Make sure you check out their stand and have a chat with Craig about the options available for your operation.

A promising new innovation

Imagine owning an autonomous tractor that can be programmed to spray or mow, with ease, for extended hours. GOtrack Autodrive can be retro-fitted into existing horticultural tractors and integrated into existing eqipment. This is the perfect solution to the shortage of tractor drivers .

If you are in the vineyard or orchard industry, here is an opportunity to see GOtrack demonstrating their product. With four years of trialling in the “real world, it has the potential to revolutionise the hoticulture and viticulture industry.

One of the biggest drivers for automation is cost savings and efficiency, making one driver responsible for multiple machines, rather than the traditional model of one operator-one tractor.

Imagine sitting in an air conditioned office and remotely operating your tractors-seems incredible dosent it! Times are a changing! Come and watch the demostrations which will be opposite the Agricultral Pavillion.
