Forestry drone inspection

EFLY’s forestry drone inspection system enables fast, safe, and cost-effective forest monitoring, including tree health assessment, illegal logging detection, and wildfire risk analysis. Our drones deliver high-resolution data from hard-to-reach forest areas.

Description

Hunan EFly Aviation’s self-developed drone hub system is a fully automated solution for large-scale forest and farmland management. Integrating hub-to-hub networking, multispectral remote sensing, and AI-powered fire drone detection, it enables:

100 km² coverage per hub
≤3-minute wildfire response time (thermal imaging accuracy ±0.5°C)
400% increase in pest and disease drone detection (vs. manual inspection)
<5% error in forest carbon sink measurement (compliant with VCS carbon credit standards)

Core Drone Monitoring Dimensions & Technical Specifications

Aspect	Traditional Patrol	Drone-Based Inspection
Efficiency	Covers less than 10 km² per day; limited by terrain and weather.	Up to 100,000 hectares covered in 48 hours with automated flights.
Data Timeliness	Manual recording causes delays; not suitable for real-time decision-making.	Real-time data transmission supports rapid analysis and response.
Safety	High risk in steep or dense areas; frequent field-related accidents.	Remote operation minimizes human exposure in hazardous zones.
Cost	Labor and maintenance exceed 30% of forestry management budgets.	Lower operational cost with automation and minimal on-site personnel.
Environmental Impact	Patrols may disturb wildlife and fragile ecosystems.	Electric motors (<45 dB) ensure minimal ecological disruption.
Diagnostic Capability	Dependent on human observation; lacks analytic consistency.	Integrated with 12 forestry-specific AI models for smart diagnostics.
Emergency Response	Manual deployment of fire suppression or rescue tools.	Supports aerial release of fire retardants and locator beacons.
Terrain Adaptability	Limited access to mountainous, wetland, or remote areas.	Effectively operates in complex and high-risk terrain types.
