Aermatica3D was honoured to host the Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Southwest Somalia Mr. Dini Abdinur Mohamed at its headquarters in Colverde, Italy, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing efforts to enhance environmental sustainability and climate change management through advanced drone technology.
During the visit, the Minister was given an in-depth presentation of Aermatica3D’s latest innovations, including the seeding drones kit recently delivered to the department of Environment and Climate Change of Southwest Somalia. These drones, equipped with cutting-edge kits designed and manufactured by Aermatica3D, play a crucial role in the region’s reforestation and environmental protection efforts.
The visit also served as the official signing of a strategic collaboration agreement between Aermatica3D and the government of Southwest Somalia. This agreement signifies the beginning of a comprehensive cooperation project, with Aermatica3D already initiating the first phase of training in Baidoa, Somalia. The agreement provides, as part of a project of close cooperation between Aermatica3D and the government authority of the state of South West Somalia, training activities for Somali personnel on new drone technologies and the supply of drones customized by Aermatica3D, for the reforestation project, but also for environmental monitoring activities with a view to environmental sustainability in support of climate change management.
The Minister and Aermatica3D engaged in productive discussions on the broader applications of drone technology in managing climate change and protecting the environment. Both parties emphasized their shared vision of leveraging innovative technological solutions to improve the quality of life for the people of Somalia.
This partnership underscores Aermatica3D’s commitment to advancing environmental sustainability through innovation and close cooperation with global partners.
The S-Box is a seed dispenser kit that can be installed on lightweight industrial drones, transforming them into powerful tools for the fast, automated, and precise distribution of seeds over large areas. This product was developed with the goal of optimizing reforestation and agricultural practices while ensuring maximum efficiency and environmental sustainability.
The seeds are coated with charcoal mixed with fertilizer. The charcoal coating prevents the seeds from being eaten by insects and birds. When the seed balls are dropped in the target area, once exposed to rain, the charcoal coating is washed away, allowing the seeds to start growing.
Technical Specifications
- Weight and Dimensions: The box weighs 750g and can hold up to 5.5 liters of seeds on drones weighing less than 10 kg.
- Coverage Capacity: With the ability to distribute up to 1,200 seeds per flight, the S-Box can cover up to 12 hectares in a single 15-minute flight. In an 8-hour workday, it is possible to cover up to 288 hectares.
- Innovative Design: Equipped with an anti-jamming system and a two-channel automatic distribution reset, the S-Box ensures continuous and uninterrupted operation.
Advantages of the S-Box
- High Productivity: With the S-Box, it is possible to cover more than 300 hectares per day, making it ideal for use in remote and hard-to-reach areas.
- Safety and Ease of Use: Our kit comes with intuitive flight planning software for automated flights, ensuring precise and safe seed distribution without exposing the operator to environmental risks.
- Controlled Distribution: Through the S-Box control software, the pilot can manage all distribution parameters from the drone’s remote control and automatically generate a report of all drop locations.
- Positive Environmental Impact: Electrically powered, the S-Box is an eco-friendly solution with zero emissions, positively contributing to the reduction of carbon footprints.
- The S-Box is ideal for large-scale reforestation in remote areas, facilitating cost-effective replanting efforts. In precision agriculture, its precise and controlled seed distribution allows farmers to optimize crop yields while reducing resource use.
The S-Box represents a breakthrough in the world of agricultural and environmental management drones, combining technological innovation and sustainability. Aermatica3D continues to push the boundaries of drone technology, providing solutions that not only enhance operational efficiency but are also environmentally responsible.
