On average, 15% of the yield is lost due to wild animal damage. Current methods are costly and inefficient as animals adapt to them.

Our drones cover large areas and inform you about all events in real time.

Applications

Our drones can be tailored to the farmers individual needs, focusing on the following applications

Detection

Our drones patrol the field day and night and detect wild animals inside the field and nearby.

Identification

We classify the animal species.

Repelling

We repel the wild animals from your field and keep them away.

Data Analysis

All the events are recorded and analysed to discover patterns in animal behaviour

Our Story

FLOX started no longer after seeing the damages caused by wild animals with our own eyes in the farms of our relatives. Wild boar damages are so bad that in Central Italy many farmers have been forced to abandon massive areas of fertile ground. However, soon we found out that this is a global problem. The number of wild boars and deers is increasing drastically in Sweden. They destroy and ruin every field they enter and 8 out of 10 Swedish farmers are facing this problem. In the worst cases, animals are destroying 80-90% of the fields. Traditional methods such as fences and smell repellents are not enough anymore. Hunters are facing several difficulties in containing the animal population. The damages are today one of the major reasons of profit loss for farmers world-wide. The estimated damage cost in Europe is hundreds of millions of EUR (20 million EUR per year only in Southern Sweden) and about 1,5 billion dollars in North America. The responsible species depend on both the type of cultivation and the geographic area, but in general, the ones that cause the most damage are roe deer and wild boar. We knew we could solve the problem by combining the latest technology and our skill sets. We started off in 2020 and since then we have developed, tested and validated our solution together with various farmers and researchers all over Sweden.
