Invasive Species Detection
Plant recognition and location mapping
Monitor the spread of invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed or Giant Hogweed, track their growth patterns and measure the impact of countermeasures. This model also supports waterway surveillance for species such as Pennywort.
Available with: MowHawk (✓) & AerHawk (✓)
Plant Diversity Detection
Monitoring biodiversity for healthier ecosystems
With growing emphasis on biodiversity, this model recognises and records over 1,800 plant species, calculates nectar index values and helps implement ecological verge and green space management strategies. It ensures a balance between vegetation control and ecosystem health.
Available with: MowHawk (✓) & AerHawk (✓)
Tree Surveillance
Remote tree health and growth assessment
Collect data on tree height, crown diameter and trunk diameter, all linked to GPS mapping. This automated model supports monitoring of tree health, planting success rates, early identification of disease and pre-works assessment for efficient and effective management.
Available with: MowHawk (X) & AerHawk (✓)
Litter Detection
Targeted litter management
Identify and map litter hotspots to gain insights into distribution patterns. With accurate, localised data, you can address the source of littering, optimise maintenance schedules, and improve the quality of green waste streams.
Available with: MowHawk (✓) & AerHawk (X)
