Drone remote operation management: Yamatane and Aeronext partnership

Yamatane and Aeronext have entered into a business partnership to socially implement next-generation agricultural operations utilizing AI and drone remote operation technology. The two companies will divide the "on-site work" required for flight, such as pesticide application, battery replacement, and aircraft inspection, and the management of flight operations, such as creating flight plans and piloting, into remote operations. Furthermore, they will implement "one-to-many" remote operation technology, where one operator manages multiple aircraft, aiming to reduce the need for personnel and lower operating costs. In the future, they will conduct demonstrations of pesticide spraying and other tasks at Yamatane's partner farms and gradually roll out the service to agricultural service providers, task-receiving businesses, and agricultural corporations nationwide. They will also consider expanding into AI-based farming support services for crop condition monitoring and field management.
