AgroFly developed – and patented – the first certified (in Switzerland, other countries pending) and assessed high-precision agricultural spraying UAV platform. Bringing the right amount of product at the right place on the crops doesn’t only protect plants efficiently but also in an eco-friendly manner. AgroFly’s target is torevolutionizeplant protectiontreatmentsby bringing the right product, at the right time, at the right place!
AgroFly is a Switzerland-based company who developed the first crop-spraying UAV system certified by the national authorities (civil aviation, agricultural, public health & environmental authorities).
Scientific assessments were conducted together with Agroscope, the Swiss institute for agricultural research (noise, application homogeneity, nozzles configuration), University of Geisenheim (ISO 22866 drift assessments) and Syngenta Global Crop protection / Application Technology department (quality deposit, drifts). Mr. Didier Ançay, our in-house agronomist with international experience, conducts R&D on the spraying parts while Pr. Dominique Genoud leads the Technical department.
Trials and assessments were made on:
- vineyards
- colza
- gardening (asparagus, celery, etc.)
- greenhouse shading
We’re now fine-tuning the final production model which will be delivered as following:

Paperwork (agronomical assessments and complete technical files + agricultural calculation tools) are also included + flight & maintenance training at our location. We can also move to customers location to provide the training.
