AvironiX Drones Unveils AviSpray-10c for Precision Farming in India

Key facts

• AvironiX Drones, a Chennai-based deep-tech drone company, launched the AviSpray-10c, a compact, backpack-sized agricultural spraying drone.
• The AviSpray-10c is 53% smaller than current generation drones, designed to reduce cost, operational complexity, and manpower requirements for crop spraying.
• The drone has been validated through extensive real-world deployment across over 6,000 acres of Indian farmland, including demanding crops like sugarcane and paddy.
• It features a high-efficiency hexacopter flight architecture, offering an endurance of up to 5 acres per battery charge, which represents a 60% improvement over most comparable platforms.
• The AviSpray-10c provides a 2x improvement in spraying accuracy and integrates advanced safety systems like terrain-following radar and collision-avoidance systems.
• Engineered specifically for India's environmental and agricultural realities, including heat, dust, humidity, and wind, the drone is designed in Ambattur and built in Maramalainagar.
• Its backpack-sized form factor enables transport on scooters and bicycles, eliminating the need for bulky transport vehicles and permanent drone mounting boxes.
• AvironiX is developing a proprietary microscopic MEMS plant-sensing technology with its Australian partner, Magic Wavelength, for future real-time data-driven agricultural spraying.
• This upcoming technology is expected to unlock up to 30 times more plant-health data than current industry solutions.
