Ramirez Farms, located in California is a 40 yr old business that grows fruit, corm, tomatoes and other vegetables. Ramon Ramirez spends 3 hours a day inspecting his fields while DroneInch can do it in 30 minutes. “I have to go to my farms everyday in the morning and the afternoon. It takes me an hour and half each in the morning and evening to inspect the plants.”.  Fruit farms need daily inspection to ensure adequate watering and to prevent theft. Tall trees like orange trees are also hard to inspect one by one.

With a drone powered by DroneInch automation software, Ramirez can survey his farms twice daily and quickly inspect the pictures right on his phone or computer to look for any major flags. He needs to go out to the farm only if he spots a major problem like an irrigation leak when the pump is on or if there is crop damage. DroneInch’s AI engine can show a 3D model of the farm that can be used to measure plant heights at different areas to diagnose non-uniform growth.
