Railscape Ltd, one of the UK’s leading commercial drone service providers, have developed, designed, and patented the UK’s first unmanned aerial precision sprayer (UAPS).
The system, designed to deliver pesticides and herbicides via a sprayer attached to a drone, means a gamechanger in managing locations considered hazardous or difficult to reach using conventional working at height methods.
UAPS delivers safety, efficiency and environmental benefits and, whilst originally designed to operate in the railway environment, the utility of the sprayer means equally challenging environments are now in scope such as restricted industrial areas or protected historical monuments.
