Drone-Hand’s integration of proprietary machine learning tailored to Australian datasets ensures enhanced sustainability and security in broadacre livestock farming, reducing costs, and environmental impact, while improving operational efficiency and livestock welfare through real-time aerial management.
The problem with livestock monitoring
Farmers can spend hours performing livestock & property checks, regardless of the many increasing challenges such as:
- Increasing staffing costs & shortages
- Farmer’s physical limitations / time constraints
- Stock theft & animal welfare, NVD & LPA requirements
- Climate events such as floods & increased grass-fire risk
- Rough & inaccessible land
- Disturbance of livestock
The solution
Drone-Hand addresses these challenges & cuts the time spent on livestock & property monitoring.

How Does Drone-Hand Work?
- Simply define the boundaries, choose the stock “library” and click launch. The app will fly the drone on a predetermined route to locate, identify & classify the livestock and highlight and changes in water sources & fence-lines.
- The user is able to “pause” the app to zoom in, go back, or take manual control at any time. Once the livestock & property check is complete, the drone returns to home, with instantaneous results, in a fraction of the time of current methods.
- Our proprietary Machine Learning model seen here successfully identifying ewes & lambs from live video feed at 100m AGL. By utilizing advanced machine learning, we can locate, identify & classify, even if the livestock are bunched up.
