Identification

Sunbird offers to private and public organizations the control and understanding of their lands by providing them critical information through innovative and clean automated aerial solutions. Sunbird's solution guarantees reactivity, serving ground people's efficiency and safety. The tailored data analysis is based on aerial images provided by ecological, autonomous and simple to use drones. SB4 Phoenix Solar Drone enables farmers to automatically inspect their land to monitor their resources (fauna and flora) to preserve biodiversity. It collects aerial data over thousands of hectares. Those data are automatically analyzed thanks to AI in order to provide farmers with precious insights to drive critical decisions (vegetation identification, water resources information, animal counting).
