Since 2018, Precision AI has been working with farmers to design artificially intelligent sprayers to fit any farm. Their team has received constant feedback from producers in the field. The drone engineers have worked hard to create a sprayer that is more than just a drone.
Stratus AirSprayer™ breaks with traditional classification as a new product that requires a name as innovative as its capabilities. Stratus AirSprayer™ is the latest development in crop protection.
Small drones, which require battery replacements every 4-6 minutes, hinder the implementation of low-labor, sustainable, and cost-effective chemical applications. By harnessing the power of a parachute, the payload that AirSprayer can handle exceeds the limits of traditional drones. This means less charging, less fueling, and more time in the air.
These advanced autonomous aerial sprayers are designed to meet the needs of large-scale farms growing thousands of acres of essential cash crops. With a capacity of over 92 acres/hour per unit and easy transportation, the Stratus AirSprayer™ is designed to maximize time in the field, ensuring crops receive protection at the right time with unmatched efficiency.
Recognizing the importance of environmental protection in today’s agricultural practices, the Stratus AirSprayer™ dramatically reduces spray drift, delivers chemicals exactly where they’re needed, and protects the surrounding ecosystem. The AirSprayer’s 230 or 380 liter tank allows for reduced downtime and more performance between refills. Perhaps most impressive is the cost to operate. This sprayer costs less than $2.85 per acre, a fraction of the cost of traditional drone technology, which costs $6 to $13 per acre.
