BeeFree Agro Autonomous Drone Farm Management - Demo


  • Various Locations North Island New Zealand (map)


Ferntech have partnered with BeeFree Agro to bring autonomous farm management to your drone.

Sign up below for one of the upcoming BeeFree Agro demonstrations where the latest AI and computer vision technology will be showcased on a real working farm.

Today, farmers spend up to 90% of their time and energy monitoring their pastures, their infrastructure, and their livestock. looking for problems instead of solving them. all this while dealing with a global shortage of skilled workers and consistently rising operating costs. Beefree agro develops software that turns off-the-shelf drones into autonomous flying cowboys. a drone-based autonomous herding system capable of counting, mapping livestock infrastructure, and moving large herds over extensive pastures.

Top Features:

1. Find my cow:

Send a drone out on an autonomous flight mission. Whether, in an open pasture or a feed-yard, all cows will be located and counted, the data will be uploaded to our servers, analysed and a detailed report will be provided in a matter of minutes via our app.

2. Infrastructure checks.

Send a drone out to any point of interest on your farm to get real-time info on that POI. This feature saves time and money by cutting down on daily monotonous missions. Instead of heading out to check if a distant gate has been left open, the drone will provide you with a clear view of the status of the gate.

3. Feedlot Inventory Count

This use of our software enables feedlots with over 100,000 heads to complete an entire inventory count within 3 hours. The flight plan and execution is created automatically through our bespoke application. After the automated flight is complete the images are automatically uploaded to our servers where they are analyzed. The result is a count per holding pen with an accuracy of over 99%.


*Currently only works for cows, with sheep functionality being developed

** Software currently works with Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced, coming soon compatibility with Mavic 3 Enterprise and Matrice 30.
