Operators can scout more acres in less time and ultimately deliver accurate analytic data

The Sentera PHXTM fixed-wing drone combines precision, endurance, versatility and reliability with ease of use, capturing the data growers, field scouts and researchers need to manage the best outcome for crops. Such data includes stand count, tassel count and plant health. The complete system enables operators to quickly capture highresolution imagery, covering more acres in less time to deliver accurate analytic data. Fly PHXTM allows users to safely and systematically fly their Sentera PHX fixed-wing drone. The details of flying are all managed within the app, so operators can focus on analyzing data. “The new user interface on the iPad improves the ability to use PHX for scouting activities,” says Sean Zuidema, a Channel Brand seedsman. “The display helps growers know what’s going on while the PHX flies over their fields.”
