1. Introduction to EAVision
EAV is a startup in the field of Agricultural Drones (Agricultural Drones).
EAVision is a leading technology company specializing in smart agriculture. Founded in Silicon Valley in 2015, the company’s core focus is on developing autonomous robots, mainly agricultural drones and low-speed unmanned vehicles.
The company’s key innovation lies in advanced computer vision technology, especially outdoor stereoscopic vision and AI-powered autonomous control systems. This technology is designed to solve difficult problems associated with outdoor binocular vision applications, such as glare and real-time calibration. EAVision’s system uses a combination of technologies, including:
- Neural Network Stereoscopic Vision Perception: Allows robots to perceive and understand their environment in 3D.
- 3D Mapping: Create detailed maps of the operating environment for navigation and planning.
- Real-time parallel processing: Enables rapid decision making and smooth operations.
- Online calibration: Ensures accuracy and consistency in the field.
EAVision’s primary application is precision agriculture, where autonomous drones are used for tasks such as crop protection (pesticide spraying), fertilization, land surveying, and crop monitoring. The company’s technology is designed to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve safety for agricultural workers, with the ultimate goal of transforming the agricultural industry.

2. Popular EAVision products2.1. EAV J70
The EAVision J70 is an entry-level agricultural drone designed for small-scale farms and orchards. It is a cost-effective solution for crop monitoring and other light agricultural applications.
While larger versions, such as the J100 and J150, are known for their heavy spraying and spreading capabilities, the J70 focuses on providing an accessible and efficient tool for operations of varying scales.
Key features of the J70 drone include:
- Imaging capabilities: Equipped with RGB imaging, the J70 is suitable for tasks such as crop monitoring and early detection of crop problems such as stress, pests and diseases.
- Automated flight planning: The J70 uses automated flight planning and mapping, which simplifies operations and allows for rapid deployment with minimal setup.
- Cost-effective: As an entry-level model, the J70 is designed for farmers who need accurate monitoring without a large initial investment.
2.2. EAV J100
The EAVision J100 is a high-performance agricultural drone designed for large-scale precision farming. It is a multi-purpose device that not only sprays but also spreads seeds, surveys and lifts.
Key features of the J100 that set it apart:
- Advanced obstacle avoidance: Unlike many other drones, the J100 uses Lidar technology along with EAVision’s proprietary radar and binocular vision system. This “dual laser eye” allows the drone to detect obstacles as small as 1 cm and navigate safely around trees, power lines and other objects, even in low light conditions. It also allows for superior terrain tracking, making it ideal for farms with steep or hilly terrain.
o High Performance: With a 45-litre spray tank and a maximum spray width of up to 10 metres, the J100 can cover a large area quickly, said to cover up to 60 acres (approximately 25 hectares) per hour. The powerful engine system and advanced nozzles allow for uniform spraying with adjustable particle size, minimizing waste and ensuring efficiency. - Multi-functional: The J100 is versatile. It can be equipped with a 70-litre spreader for spreading seeds, fertilisers or baits, and is capable of lifting a maximum payload of up to 60kg for tasks such as transporting supplies.
- Fast Charging: The drone’s modular battery can be fast-charged in just 9 minutes using a 9000W charger, minimizing downtime and maximising productivity in the field.
- Intelligent flight features: The drone can automatically plan a safe flight path, resume a mission from a dead stop after battery replacement, and generate a real-time 3D map of the environment for precise and efficient operation.
2.3. EAV J150
The EAVision J100 is a top-of-the-line agricultural drone designed for multi-purpose, high-performance operations on large farms. Its cutting-edge technology and versatility stand out.
Key features:
- Lidar technology: The drone features Lidar technology, combined with EAVision’s radar and binocular systems, allowing it to detect obstacles as small as 1 cm. This provides superior obstacle avoidance and terrain tracking, even in complex environments such as orchards, steep or mountainous terrain.
- Multi-purpose: The J100 is a truly powerful machine. It can be used for:
- Spraying: It has a large 45-litre tank and a wide spray width, allowing it to cover a significant area per hour. Its mist nozzle provides a fine, uniform mist for precise spraying.
- Spraying: The machine can be equipped with a 70-liter spray tank to spread seeds, fertilizers or bait.
- Lifting: The drone has a lifting capacity of up to 60 kg, which can be used to transport supplies.
- Surveying and Mapping: Equipped with an HD camera, the drone can quickly create a real-time 3D map of a field for planning and analyzing missions.
- High Performance: The drone’s modular battery can be quickly charged in just 9 minutes, minimizing downtime. This allows for continuous operation and high productivity in the field.
- Intelligent Automation: The J100 automatically plans a safe flight path, adjusts altitude to follow terrain, and can resume missions from a stop, all of which simplify operations and improve efficiency.
