Application: Highly responsive farming systems with extraordinary in-season optimization (Patent ID: US20240161209A1)
The patent filed by Bayer AG describes a method and system for controlling the application of agrichemical products using an autonomous vehicle. The method involves acquiring digital image data, developing a prescription based on this data, and applying the agrichemical product in a variable manner over a field using the autonomous vehicle according to the prescription. The system includes an application drone with an internal energy source and a payload storage cartridge storing the agrichemical payload and an energy source proportional to the payload. The drone can be continuously operated by coupling and recoupling to multiple storage cartridges, each storing different agrochemical payloads.
The system and method outlined in the patent aim to optimize the application of agrichemical products by utilizing autonomous vehicles equipped with energy-efficient systems. The drones can be powered by both internal and payload-based energy sources, ensuring continuous operation and efficient application of the agrichemical payload over the designated zone. The patent also details the capacity of the drones in terms of agrochemical payload, ranging from 25 kg to 200 kg, and the flexibility in accommodating different types of agrochemical payloads within the primary storage. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive approach to precision agriculture through the use of advanced technology and energy-efficient systems for agrichemical application.
