Precision Farming From the Sky

OBCS drone surveys help farmers make smarter, data-driven decisions. Our aerial imaging technology provides a complete picture of crop health across your entire farm — identifying problems early when they're easiest and cheapest to treat.

From yield prediction and growth monitoring to disease detection and drainage assessment, our drone surveys provide the actionable data you need to optimise your operations and maximise your returns. NDVI-based early detection of crop stress allows targeted intervention that can reduce fertiliser and pesticide usage by up to 20%, lowering input costs while protecting yield.

  • Crop health and vegetation index mapping
  • Early disease and pest damage detection
  • Yield prediction and growth monitoring
  • Drainage and waterlogging assessment
  • Livestock and land boundary surveys

Agricultural Applications

Yield Prediction

Aerial data analysis to forecast crop yields, identify underperforming areas, and plan harvesting schedules. Compare performance across seasons with historical data.

Disease & Pest Control

Detect crop stress, disease, and pest infestations early through aerial imagery. Enable targeted treatment to prevent spread and minimise crop loss.

Land & Drainage

Identify waterlogging, assess drainage effectiveness, and map land boundaries. Essential data for land management, grant applications, and farm planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drones provide aerial data including vegetation index mapping, crop health assessment, and growth pattern analysis to help predict yield and identify problem areas early. This enables targeted interventions that improve overall farm productivity.
Yes. Aerial surveys can identify stress patterns, disease, and pest damage early — often before they're visible at ground level. This allows targeted treatment before problems spread across the entire crop, reducing chemical usage and cost.
We survey farmland of all sizes, from small holdings to large-scale commercial operations spanning hundreds of hectares across Ireland. We plan multi-flight missions to efficiently cover large areas.
