Context

Aero is a monitoring platform for precision agriculture. Three drones scan separate field zones simultaneously while the operator tracks coverage, crop health, and flight telemetry from a single screen. Click any parcel or drone in the prototype above to explore.

Research

Two weeks embedded with an agronomy team in Lomellina, the rice plain between Pavia and Vercelli. 22 farm clients, 1,400 hectares, three drones in the van but only one flying at a time because the software could not handle parallel missions. A single scan took three hours to produce a usable prescription. By then the agronomist had moved on.

Co-design

The first prototype was wrong. What the team actually needed came out during a week of daily sessions in the field office, mapping the real workflow on paper with two people.

Marco · Senior technician

Fields are grouped into zones, not listed individually. The interface organises parcels by shared irrigation canal and treatment history, so operators think in clusters.

Sig.ra Colombo · Farmer

NDVI data is mapped to four discrete action states instead of a continuous gradient. Farmers receive a clear prescription — not raw sensor readings.

Field observation

The fleet view supports up to three concurrent drones, each tracked independently. Operators can assign, pause, and recall any drone without leaving the main screen.
