Agrodrone, a New Zealand-based service provider, is
applying drone technology to both roof cleaning and
agricultural spraying across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato
regions. The company’s approach leverages unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) to deliver solutions that reduce the need
for traditional manual methods.
In the area of drone roof
cleaning, Agrodrone uses UAVs to apply moss and lichen
remover to a range of surfaces, including residential homes,
commercial greenhouses, and solar panels. This method
eliminates the need for scaffolding or ladders, minimising
roof foot traffic and associated safety risks. The
drone-based system can operate on sensitive cladding, such
as concrete tiles, and on structures that are otherwise
difficult to access. The process involves autonomous
application of cleaning products, with dosage tailored to
the severity of roof infestation, aiming to reduce chemical
runoff and overall usage. The company offers both
chlorine-free and organic citrus-based cleaning options, and
can carry out operations year-round, with consideration for
seasonal conditions.
In addition to roof cleaning,
Agrodrone provides
agricultural drone spraying services for crop, weed,
fertiliser, and seeding applications. The use of drones
enables precision application, low drift, and rapid
turnaround times. The technology is designed to maximise
efficiency in field operations, and is suitable for a
variety of agricultural tasks. Agrodrone’s services are
positioned as an alternative to conventional ground or
aerial spraying, with a focus on accuracy and minimising
environmental impact.
Agrodrone’s operations are
carried out with consideration for noise levels, allowing
for work in both urban and rural settings without
significant disturbance. The company is based in Pongakawa,
Bay of Plenty, and serves clients throughout the surrounding
regions.
