Amidst the growing sustainability movement and the rising environmental concerns spanning the agricultural market, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions in the industry.
Perfect Flight addresses this requirement with its versatile and customizable software solution that fits the needs of every company involved with aerial applications to crops. Perfect Flight is designed for the management and traceability of aerial applications, including pesticides, fertilizers, or seeds.
A Feature-Packed Solution
The software’s pre-flight and post-flight features, along with a robust business intelligence suite, fosters better planning and monitoring, improves spraying efficiency, and reduces pesticide waste.
The pre-flight feature optimizes the aerial application planning process by allowing users to precisely define the application area. They can meticulously develop a customizable and GPS- compatible map highlighting buffer zones and restricted areas. This ensures precise spraying in the designated zones, minimizing off-target hits.
The post-flight feature is used to create a detailed analysis of GPS logs that come from the aircraft. The software generates KPIs and environmental impact maps through algorithms created in-house and multi-layered maps. This includes a detailed analysis and insights on aerial applications, including the amount of product used, the flight path taken, skips, overlaps, hits on restricted areas, while providing areas for improvement.
“We realize that each aircraft generates data that is currently underutilized. We leverage the overlooked data files extracted from the GPS equipment to formulate the four core KPIs like waste rate, error, uniformity, and success rate,” says Vinicius Velho, business development representative, Perfect Flight. “These farm-validated KPIs allow users to comprehend the success of aerial application at a glance.”
The business intelligence section is about a range of dashboards compiling data collected over time. These dashboards provide users with a comprehensive view of their aggregate data, presented as informative charts. They also offer advanced filtering capabilities, enabling users to pinpoint and address specific problem areas. The goal is to empower users to extract insights for effective business management and facilitate working with their data.
The software's color-coded analysis further simplifies understanding, making it a valuable tool for farmers, agronomists, and applicators alike. The marginal improvements fostered through these advanced monitoring and optimization technologies ripple into monumental gains in terms of plant health and yield, while also minimizing the environmental impact of pesticides.
“Using top-notch pesticide products, nozzles and vehicles for applying chemicals might not be enough. The improper application of these chemicals in the field can lead to environmental damage and poor pest control, which is where we step in to help mitigate these risks” says Velho.
Another important aspect of the software is its ability to be brand-agnostic, seamlessly processing logs from all major brands operating in North and South America. Perfect Flight is also collaborating with companies that have embraced advanced technologies to further enhance the efficiency and fluidity of data transfers, ensuring a frictionless experience for users.
The Journey Across Geographies
The Perfect Flight solution has demonstrated exceptional value across 80 million acres in Brazil, benefiting growers, applicators, and the agricultural industry as a whole. This success has driven the company to begin expansion into the U.S. market to empower the key stakeholders in making informed, eco-conscious decisions.
In the past year, Perfect Flight has significantly grown its presence in the U.S. market by actively listening, learning, and engaging with the market. Joining The National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) has helped it to engage with industry leaders.
This was important for Perfect Flight, given that the U.S. agricultural market differs from Brazil. The lack of vertically integrated farms in the U.S. market, when compared to the latter, has driven The US market has fewer of the vertically integrated “mega farms which are more common in Brazil. Consequently, in the US, the company is more closely aligned with the aerial application companies. It has currently reached a juncture where numerous prominent operators are studying the adoption solution, including a significant pilot program this past summer. This success has been an impetus for Perfect Flight to gear up for an ambitious expansion in 2024.
