John Farmer, Operations Director
Drone-first solutions for sustainable irrigation
Dronlytics is a drone-first company using advanced aerial systems, AI and big data to transform irrigation and crop management across Africa. Our autonomous flights deliver hyperspectral, multispectral and visual imaging that pinpoint water stress, nutrient needs and pest pressure — and our project management team turns those insights into implemented irrigation systems that reduce water use, lower carbon emissions and improve farm profitability.
We combine high-resolution drone data with hands-on implementation: feasibility studies, installation oversight, operator training and seasonal optimization. The result is measurable water savings, documented carbon reductions and clear ROI for farming operations.

Our Mission
What is Dronlytics Africa?
A precision agriculture Big Data capture company utilizing drone and artificial intelligence to enhance global farming and reduce carbon emissions.
Time is of the essence
When crops come under attack from drought, disease and lack of nutrients. Fast and precise data is needed to address each problem before they worsen.
Fertilizer usage has increased dramatically
Over the past 10 years, global fertilizer usage has increased 12-fold while crop yields have only increased 3 to 4-fold.
Carbon emissions from fertilizers
Synthetic fertilizers and manure emit more carbon than global aviation and shipping combined.
How We Solve These Challenges
Dronlytics Africa addresses these critical challenges through innovative drone technology, AI-powered analytics, and data-driven farming practices that reduce costs, increase yields, and promote sustainable agriculture.

Cost Effectiveness & Efficiency
Drone spraying requires an initial investment higher than traditional methods. However, the long-term savings can be significant due to reduced labour requirements and increased efficiency.
| Aspect | Drone Technology | Traditional Methods | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment Costs | Higher initial investment | Lower initial costs | |
| Labour Requirements | Eliminates manual labour | Requires labour team | |
| Time Savings | Faster coverage | Time-consuming |
Precision and Accuracy
Drone spraying allows for precise and targeted application of pesticides and fertilizers. With GPS technology and advanced mapping software, drones can accurately identify specific areas needing treatment.
| Aspect | Drone Technology | Traditional Methods | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Targeted Application | Precise GPS-guided | Manual estimation | |
| Spray Drift | Minimal drift | High drift risk | |
| Chemical Waste | Reduced waste | Higher waste |
Environmental Impact
Drone spraying enables precise application, reducing the overall amount of chemicals required. This targeted approach minimizes chemical runoff and adverse effects on ecosystems.
| Aspect | Drone Technology | Traditional Methods | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical Usage | 30% reduction | Higher usage | |
| Soil Compaction | No compaction | Heavy machinery damage | |
| Beneficial Insects | Preserved | Often harmed |
Safety Considerations
Drone spraying reduces the direct exposure of operators to potentially hazardous chemicals. Operators can control the spraying process remotely.
| Aspect | Drone Technology | Traditional Methods | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
