Setting up an aircraft for crop spraying requires precision and must be done to exacting standards if the chemicals used are to be both effective and economically applied. Deliver too little and what you use is wasted, apply too much and you waste both time and material - even worse you may destroy the crop.

A key part of the spraying process is adjusting the nozzle size and positioning to optimise the droplet size and density. The exact settings required vary according to the crop species, the chemical being applied and the reason for applying the crop treatment.

Working with the spraying experts from a leading agri-chemicals supplier we developed portable hardware and software that reduced the average setup time for an aircraft by 75%. As the key market for the product is mainly third world agriculture cost, reliability and ease of use were key features to be achieved.
