Soil compaction is a silent disaster. It reduces yields, impairs root growth, and hinders water absorption. Yet it is a byproduct of our industrialized agriculture.
Problem:
Modern tractors and spreading machines put power on the soil – but also mass. A lot of mass. Every time they drive over the soil, it compresses it more tightly.
Solution:
What if force were no longer exerted on the ground, but in the air?
The concept:
With wired drones, fertilizers or pesticides could be distributed precisely – directly over the field. The power cable comes from a stationary energy source, such as a field-edge container with a battery and solar modules. Carrier drones stretch the cable over the field, preventing any cables from being pulled through plants or damaged. The entire process is algorithmically controlled, precise, and repeatable.
Advantages at a glance:
- Zero soil compaction
- Significantly fewer crossings
- Electricity instead of fossil fuels
- Scalable, modular, future-proof
Vision:
We are rethinking agriculture: lightweight, quiet, and locally adapted.
With this vision, we combine technology, sustainability, and design.
And that’s exactly what pr-ide stands for:
Problem-solving, Rewarding, Impactful, Dedicated, Excellent.
