Innovations in Agricultural Drones
During their international launch, DJI, a global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, introduced two new additions to their Agras line of drones, the Agras T50 and Agras T25. These drones represent a significant step forward in the field of precision agriculture.
Agras T50: A New Standard for Large-Scale Farming
The Agras T50 is designed for stability and efficiency, sporting a coaxial dual-rotor system and 54-inch propellers. It can carry 40kg for spraying or 50kg for spreading applications, covering up to 50 acres per hour. Its dual atomization spraying system can be adjusted to accommodate various agricultural needs, making it highly versatile for field and orchard use.
Agras T25: Tailored for Smaller Operations
The T25 packs the advanced technology of the T50 into a more compact and portable form, making it ideal for smaller agricultural operations. It supports 20kg for spraying or 25kg for spreading, incorporating features like multidirectional obstacle avoidance and Terrain Following for precise applications.
Yuan Zhang, Head of Global Sales at DJI Agriculture, emphasized the impact of their technology, stating, “As a global leader in agriculture technology, we aim to push precision agriculture forward with the latest DJI Agras drones. Our crop protection solutions allow family farmers and large-scale growers to improve yields and reduce chemical usage, effectively cutting costs while minimizing environmental impact.”
Enhanced Features and Connectivity
Breakthrough Transmission Technology
The T50 includes an upgraded four-antenna O3 Transmission system that extends the drone’s connectivity range up to 2 kilometers. For challenging terrains, such as mountainous areas, the DJI Relay can further enhance transmission range and stability.
Advanced Navigation and Safety Features
Both models feature dual Active Phased Array Radars and binocular vision sensors for improved obstacle detection and Terrain Following capabilities. This ensures safe and efficient operation across varied landscapes.
Efficiency and Charging Innovations
The T50 also introduces a fast charging solution—the DB1560 Intelligent Flight Battery paired with the D12000iEP Multifunctional Inverter Generator, enabling a rapid 9-minute recharge. This feature supports continuous operations, significantly enhancing productivity.
Integration with DJI SmartFarm
Both the Agras T50 and T25 are compatible with DJI’s newly upgraded SmartFarm app, which provides a comprehensive suite of tools for aerial application management. The app features enhanced data visualization, a dynamic device management dashboard, and streamlined access to after-sales support and educational resources through DJI Academy.
