About
About Corvus Drones
Corvus Drones provides an autonomous indoor-drone service for greenhouse crop monitoring. A drone, charging station and visual positioning markers are installed as a drone-in-a-box package; scheduled flights collect top-down imagery without a pilot and upload results for reporting or customer-run analysis.
Growers use repeated surveys for germination and inventory counts, growth and readiness measurement, yield prediction, irrigation inspection and early identification of crop anomalies or disease. Applications have measured flower diameter, monitored potato seedlings and tracked bud, bloom and mildew conditions. Corvus supplies the system through subscription and project programmes, with remote setup and support, turning frequent whole-greenhouse imaging into standardised observations for labour planning, space use and crop decisions.
