About Our Ireland Office

Located in the heart of Ireland’s dynamic landscape, our drone operations are tailored to meet the country’s evolving infrastructure and recreational demands. With state-of-the-art UAV technology, we help energy providers, telecom firms and hospitality venues manage assets, reduce risks and improve operational outcomes without disrupting daily operations.

Bringing Aerial Intelligence to Irish Agriculture

At Drone-as-a-service (DaaS), we provide a complete, farm-ready aerial solution. We supply the hardware, the software, and perform the flight operations and data analysis ourselves.

That means you get actionable insights, not just raw data. Our services are fully flexible and tailored to the Irish farming calendar, whether you need crop monitoring once a season or weekly livestock checks during calving. As the seasons change, we adjust flight frequency and focus, from crop health in early growth, to grassland management mid-summer, to infrastructure and damage checks after storms.

Using the latest drone and imaging technology, DaaS helps Irish farmers reduce costs, improve yields, and meet environmental compliance with ease. From the plains of Kildare to the dairy farms of Cork and the grasslands of Galway, we deliver smarter, faster, and more sustainable farming solutions.

Crop Health Monitoring

Our Crop Health Monitoring service provides farmers with fast, accurate insights into crop performance across every stage of the growing season. Using multispectral and thermal imaging, we help identify issues like nitrogen deficiency, water stress, and disease long before they’re visible on the ground.

How It Works

  • Drones capture detailed aerial images of your crops, whether it’s barley in May, potatoes in June, or winter wheat in March.
  • Software analyses vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE) to pinpoint areas of stress or poor growth.
  • Problem zones are mapped precisely so you can treat only what’s needed, not the entire field.

Benefits

  • Spot nutrient deficiencies early and apply targeted treatments.
  • Detect fungal infections (like blight or mildew) before they spread.
  • Improve fertiliser efficiency and reduce input costs.
  • Monitor and compare field performance throughout the season.

Precision Spraying coming soon

Our Precision Spraying service delivers exact chemical application with minimal waste. Whether it’s spot spraying thistles in grassland, targeting dock weeds in silage fields, or applying fungicide on cereals, we use GPS-guided drones to ensure high accuracy.

How It Works

  • Drones follow precise flight paths programmed for your fields.
  • Using variable-rate and spot-spray technology, they treat only affected areas, saving time and reducing chemical use.
  • Every operation is tracked and logged for full traceability and compliance.

Benefits

  • Save up to 30% on herbicide and pesticide use.
  • Reduce soil compaction by avoiding heavy sprayers.
  • Operate safely in wet or uneven ground where tractors can’t go.
  • Minimise environmental impact.

Livestock Health Management

Managing livestock across large or rough terrain can be time-consuming.Our Livestock Health Management service combines thermal imaging and AI-based analytics to track animal health, numbers, and movement, perfect for Ireland’s diverse herds and hill farms.

How It Works

  • Drones fly routine patrols over your herd or flock, capturing thermal and high-definition imagery.
  • AI identifies animals and counts them automatically.
  • Flags abnormal thermal readings (a sign of injury or illness).
  • We provide a digital report highlighting missing, isolated, or distressed animals.

Benefits

  • Detect sick or lame animals early, ideal for calving or lambing seasons.
  • Ideal for stock checks on out farms and fragmented blocks of land.
  • Monitor stock in large paddocks or rough ground without disturbing them.
  • Reduce labour costs and inspection time.
  • Improve welfare standards and compliance records.

Farm Maintenance Checks

Every farm has ongoing maintenance needs, from buildings and sheds to roads, drains, and tanks. Our Farm Maintenance Check service provides detailed aerial inspections that help you spot problems early, improve safety, and plan maintenance efficiently.

How It Works

  • Drones perform high-resolution mapping of farm buildings, roofs, gutters, and fencing.
  • We detect leaks, structural damage, and storm wear using advanced imaging.
  • Inspections also cover roads, yard areas, tanks, and drainage systems for cracks or blockages.
  • Geo-tagged reports make it easy to prioritise repairs.

Benefits

  • Identify and fix issues before they worsen.
  • Keep workers safe, no ladders or scaffolding needed.
  • Get detailed imagery for insurance or grant inspections.
  • Assess road and yard damage after heavy rainfall or winter frost.

Grassland Management

Irish grasslands are among the most productive in Europe but managing them effectively takes precision. Our Grassland Management service helps farmers optimise grazing, monitor growth, and stay compliant with nitrates regulations, all through consistent, data-driven drone flights.

How It Works

  • Drones capture high-resolution imagery to assess grass cover, density, and growth rates.
  • Software calculates biomass, sward height and grass yields (kgDM per hectare).
  • Identifies weeds in grasslands and can be spot sprayed with our precision spraying drones (coming soon).
  • Consistent, scheduled flights (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) track changes over time, giving you a clear picture of pasture performance.

Benefits

  • Stay compliant with nitrates derogation and sustainability reporting.
  • Plan grazing rotations and cutting schedules with confidence.
  • Reduce overgrazing and identify underperforming paddocks.
  • Support long-term pasture health.
