#6 WILDLIFE HERD
TECH PROFILE
SMART FARMING FOR LABOUR SUPPORT
Hardware
Wildlife Herd is an AI-driven solution to reduce human-wildlife conflicts in agriculture and to foster sustainable land use. Using autonomous drones and sensors, it detects and identifies animal species in real-time. The system then emits species-specific acoustic signals to gently deter wildlife, protecting crops, reducing losses, and maintaining long-term effectiveness.
Autonomous drones can act as an extended hand for any landowner.
KEY FEATURES & INNOVATION
- AI and machine learning: Wildlife Herd uses algorithms to enable precise detection and realtime species identification.
- Acustic signals: Species-specific signals gently herd animals away from crops, ensuring minimal habituation and long-term effectiveness.
- Autonomous drones: Drones patrol designated areas autonomously, providing continuous protection with minimal intervention.
- Docking stations: Future integrations will support autonomous charging and data uploading, optimising 24/7 operation.
BENEFITS
- Reduction in crop loss: WildlifeHerd limits wildlife damage, increasing yields.
- Enhenced sustainability: Offers a scalable, efficient, and humane alternative to traditional invasive barriers.
- Proactive wildlife management: Prevents damage, supporting coexistence with nature.
- Economic viability: Cuts crop loss and labour costs, boosting farm stability.
ACCESSIBILITY
This sophisticated system is accessible to users through an intuitive web and mobile platform, providing real-time updates, wildlife activity analytics, and a customizable platform that allows farmers to monitor and manage the solution from anywhere.
