Plant protection drones benign development equipment reliability problem is pain point

[China Agricultural Machinery Industry News] Agricultural plant protection drones have developed to this day, has been 10 years. But the industry's unanimous voice is that organizations or people who use plant protection drones to do field services are making little money. Investigating its reasons behind the scenes, industry insiders said that the reliability of equipment is a major pain point. Only the agricultural drones completed the field operations on time and quality. The farmers benefited and recognized, and the flight defense team can make money. The plant protection drone industry is likely to achieve healthy and sustainable development.

Faults and accidents have become normal

The plant protection drone, in essence, is an aircraft that has only been applied to agriculture. Therefore, it must meet some of the characteristics of agriculture while observing the rules of aircraft application.

Ma Yong, chairman of Beijing Tianyi Hechuang Technology Development Co., Ltd., said that the unexpected situation of the general aircraft is no longer an accident in the agricultural scene, but a normal state.

When the aircraft is applied to the agricultural sector, it must meet the agricultural characteristics: small failure rate, low risk, strong timeliness, and non-professional operation.

According to Ma Yong, the plant protection drone failure cannot be avoided. In the actual flight defense service work, it is necessary to prepare for emergencies, such as equipment, man-made, geography, weather and other factors, as well as some accidents. Or a bomber.

One of the obvious points is that plant protection drones can't get rid of the influence of human factors. "For example, the problem of acclimatization is that some flying hands are northeastern people. Secondly, in the high-temperature and high-humidity areas like Hunan and Hubei, the body will not adapt. A flying hand set a record. Within a day, the plane exploded four times. But what makes me proud is that although it was blown up four times, the work of the day was completed on time and in volume.” Ma Yong told Yuchen.com The reporter, once the flight defense team was working in the cotton field in Xinjiang, the plane was about to fly over the land, and suddenly stood up in the middle, and the principle of the flight defense team was rather to drop the plane, not to hurt people. The plane fell to the ground on one side. "There are too many situations like this. Apart from human factors, there are unpredictable links such as equipment and weather. It is difficult and difficult to predict."

It is reported that the environment of plant protection drones in rural areas is generally poor, often encountering complex environments with high-voltage lines, low-voltage lines, ponds, melon racks, field rafts, grasses, trees, shrubs and other obstacles higher than one meter. .

Completing the task is a bit

As we all know, plant protection operations require very high timeliness, and the requirements for the amount of drugs are also very fine. These all add to the difficulty of drone plant protection operations.

Ma Yong told Yuchen.com that during the few days of farming, if they missed it, they could not complete the plant protection operation. "We have worked for the peasants, and they are all done. The farmers are satisfied with the payment. Even if most of the operations are completed, only a small amount of land will be left, and no money will be collected. Therefore, the risk of our work outside the home is The risk of property, and the second is the risk that the task cannot be completed in time."

It is reported that the flight height requirements of farmers for agricultural plant protection drones are 1 to 1.5 meters, which is too high and has a bad effect on the uniformity of spraying.

In addition, the prevention and control of pests and diseases is a one-off. If the medicine is broken, if it is to be re-applied, first, time is too late, and second, there may be bad consequences such as heavy spray.
