I have been exploring UAV use in agriculture for several years, but had not found a system robust and simple enough for the average farmer to use…. The senseFly system appears to meet my demand of “out of the box” usability in 30 minutes after unpacking, by a relatively unsophisticated end user.

In regard to our eBee operations – things are going very well and I’m generally very happy with the eBee. We own 3 of them now and will probably get a fourth in the near future. We have done over 700 flights in total and the 4 full-time surveyors that we employ are now very efficient in the way that they operate. Virtually all of our work is for the mining industry, with a typical survey being about 500-700 ha in size, although we often survey areas of 2,000ha or more (all at around 400’). We can usually survey about 600ha or so in a day. The Panasonic Toughbook that we purchased through you with the eBee is fantastic and hasn’t missed a beat despite operating continuously in hot and dusty conditions. It’s the perfect size/weight, and handles the heat very well (other computers become very slow in the very hot weather). We recently purchased a Dell Rugged Extreme 12” which also seems to perform equally as well, but is quite a bit heavier.

What we find most impressive about the swingletCAM is it’s simple and reliable. Its autonomy and form factor make it suitable for many applications including mining. After extensive uses in open pit mines, it is surely becoming a standard for all major constructions and environmental developments where traditional ground based, satellite or aerial remote sensing methods were used. The system is designed to be cheap, efficient, fast and easy; altogether make it practical for daily data collection. We look for ways to help improve efficiency and mine safety for our customers. The swingletCAM helps us deliver.

I wanted to write to thank you for the prompt support we received from you regarding the issue we recently encountered with our Swinglet CAM. There will always be unexpected surprises that cause delays when dealing with technology, and we try our best to anticipate and be prepared for such occurrences but sometimes we just can’t avoid them. Knowing that we can count on you is valuable and helps in mitigating and reducing the downtime associated with such incidents

Just finally had a chance to sit down and go over the flight projects from last month, again I’m very impressed with the results. I’m still planning on writing this up into a formal case study, but thought I’d share with you the initial processing results and how it’s looking so far. Appreciate your support!

We have completed 1500km stock route survey for 5m resolution imagery geo-referencing using the pair of SXBlue II-L GPS with VBS signal from Omnistar. We were conquered by the ease of use, the portability, the accuracy of the receiver along with the performance and the reliability of the Omnistar VBS signal.

For our current mandate to deploy the FTTH (Fiber To The Home) network in France, we have carefully selected the SXBlue II GPS as our field data collection receivers. This stand-alone solution proved to be very accurate in realtime with EGNOS while offering an incomparable price quality ratio! Adding to a great ease of use in the field, we also benefit from a very high level of after sales support.

The SXBlue II GPS is, to my opinion, the best DGPS solution on the market today. We can constantly rely on a submeter position to map our High Power Transmission Line Pylons. We also use the SXBlue II to map our access roads in record time, directly into our GIS on a tablet PC. Simply outstanding!

We foresters need to carry so many equipments like calipers, various surveying equipments, box lunch and water to drink etc. SXBlue II is very compact and easy to carry in Forestry environment. We believe the SXBlue II is a de-facto standard MSAS DGPS receiver for Japanese foresters.

Four years ago, we started out using low-end WAAS receivers, but after 60 days we switched to mapping-grade WAAS receivers due to accuracy problems. 225,000 poles and four years later, we are still using the same SXBlue GPS receivers.

We have been using our SXBlue II GPS units for almost a year now. Compared to the more expensive GPS products we had in the past, the SXBlue has boosted us to a productivity level we did not expect. Working in both open areas and under forest canopy in Northern Alberta, we have not only saved money in purchasing these receivers but also in man hours with very little downtime due to poor satellite tracking. We have also experienced the benefits of clean realtime differentially corrected streams of data directly into our GIS.

Approximately 500 facilities were mapped using a Bluetooth, submeter WAAS GPS and a Windows Mobile data collector. Wireless technology eliminated connectivity problems and the SXBlue GPS had Coast technology, consistently giving us submeter, real-time results, even in areas that had poor WAAS visibility.

Racing School

We incorporate the Geneq SXBlue II GPS in our GPS-Log Data System for coaching racing drivers. For our application Bluetooth is necessary to make the system quickly transferable from race car to race car. On some cars – with solid mounted engines running at high RPMs – vibration can’t be avoided but the SXBlue II copes without a problem, plus the long battery life allows us to use the system for a full day’s testing without interruption. Most importantly, though, the SXBlue II gives us the positional accuracy we need to plot subtle differences in racing line, plus display in-car data in real time with EGNOS which gives our drivers instant feedback on speed and split times at key points around the race track.

To date our organization operates two SXBlue Platinum models which have improved ease of use in conjunction with Esri Collector for any staff member. With consistently high accuracy results, our staff members have been able to collect municipal assets with little effort. We are very happy with the results these units have given us. These units are truly the best bang for the buck when compared to other models available! We look forward to working with SDF solutions in the future. Thank you!

The G10 I bought from SDF Solutions is an excellent product, backed by great service and support. I was up and running in no time at all, and have been increasing productivity ever since. Field Genius is the easiest to use data collection software, and the Network Rover bundle not only saved me thousands of dollars but also provides me with unsurpassed performance in the field.

We were in need of an RTK solution for ground control points for fixed wing and multi rotor produced elevation models. Sean showed in depth knowledge and patience in explaining base/rover and rover/subscription options. When the G10 base and rover arrived the learning curve was not as steep as expected and after a couple of hands on learning sessions we were getting the field data we needed. to tie into our UAV data sets. We are now producing some very accurate RTK elevation maps

The eBee Ag is our main tool for precision agriculture. We have found it a remarkable tool for identifying issues within crops before problems become too severe. When the results from the eBee Ag are coupled with targeted soil testing, exceptionally accurate prescriptions can be made. The eBee’s simplicity and quick results are what have made it so valuable to us.

There are a lot of $5,000 UAVs available, but they don't fly themselves so they're basically fancy remote controlled helicopters. With the senseFly eBee Ag you get a complete solution — take a couple minutes to plan a mission, launch it by hand (no catapults), and the eBee does the rest. It flies, takes images, figures out the wind and lands right where you want it to. There’s nothing more portable, powerful and easy to use.
Chris Slee

With our eBee we can provide our final data in just a few days, whereas previously this would have taken much longer, meaning we can pass savings directly on to our clients. The fact that the eBee is lightweight and highly transportable are also big benefits (we avoided products that require a special ramp to get airborne). Most importantly, the eBee allows us to operate safely and it’s highly reliable — even when simulating critical errors as part of our annual flight assessment I have complete confidence that it will do exactly what we ask it to.

We needed a system that would get us GIS-ready 2D and 3D products in a timely manner. The senseFly eBee is just that. With a fully integrated workflow the eBee allows us to focus on making use of the data as opposed to worrying about flight operations and data processing. We have flown the eBee in all types of weather conditions and have been extraordinarily impressed with its reliability.

This technology has a huge amount to offer plant scientists who are working towards better understanding our planet's biodiversity. It allows scientists to reach places that were previously off limits as they were either too remote, too dangerous or too time consuming to explore. With our eBee we can now cover large areas of ground in great detail from a completely different perspective - and quickly too.
