Now a local company has done just that, with consultancy firm Moyo an AI drone solution designed to detect diseases in crops before they become an issue, an in particular potato leaf disease.
The AI drone is intended for use in the South African agriculture sector, and could present a number of long-term benefits for local farmers and businesses. “This new solution developed using the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA and Precision AI-ready workstations can support South Africa’s agriculture sector with advanced crop health monitoring,” explained Dell Technologies in a release shared with Hypertext.
