Discover the possible applications of our software and our commitment.

Finding skylarks’ nests

Protecting with POICloud – smart and highly accurate

What is the best way to locate skylarks’ nests using thermal imaging drones? Our solution works with the support of POICloud and RTK-GPS to deliver high precision and efficiency. This method can be used to protect many species that are otherwise difficult to find.

Breeding bird protection

Reducing disruption through efficient procedures

We have many years of expertise in species and nature conservation using drones. Our projects and those of our customers include the protection of breeding birds, e.g. lapwings, curlews and montagu’s harriers, as well as the protection of bonobos (DRC) and endemic hog deers in Cambodia.

Wildlife conservation of the future

Robotics and autonomy offer opportunities and challenges

We conduct research and development to advance wildlife protection. At Agritechnica 2023, we demonstrated with CLAAS and AGXEED how wildlife protection already works today when using autonomous machines. At the same time, we are working on the fully automated system of tomorrow.
