ABZ Innovation L30 Emlid RS3: Experience next-level accuracy in agricultural drone operations by pairing the powerful L30 drone with the advanced Emlid Reach RS3 RTK GNSS system. This product bundle integrates the 30 L L30 spraying drone – renowned for its efficiency and coverage – with a multi-band RTK receiver to achieve centimeter-level positioning precision in every flight. The Emlid RS3 brings state-of-the-art features like tilt compensation (thanks to a built-in 6‑DOF IMU) and support for all major satellite constellations, ensuring that even in challenging conditions or uneven terrain, your drone knows exactly where it is. For farmers, this means spray runs and mapping missions are executed with pinpoint accuracy, reducing overlap and missed spots to virtually zero.
With the L30 Emlid RS3 combo, the drone’s flight controller receives real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections from the RS3 base station, maintaining positioning accuracy within a few centimeters. The result is precision agriculture at its finest – whether you’re doing crop scouting, creating detailed field maps, or conducting precision spraying/fertilization. The L30’s 30-liter capacity and high flow rate (up to 16 L/min) remain at your service, but now guided by RTK, you can confidently operate in tight field sections and near boundaries without worry of drift. The system shines in applications like variable-rate fertilizer application (where GPS drift could cause over/under application) and in research plots where absolute accuracy is paramount.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Centimeter-Level Accuracy – The included Emlid RS3 RTK unit provides <2 cm accuracy by correcting GPS signals in real time. This ensures the L30 drone follows its flight path with surgical precision, ideal for row-by-row spraying and mapping tasks that demand exact repetition (e.g., treating specific trial plots or disease hotspots).
-
Tilt-Compensated GNSS – The RS3’s tilt compensation allows the base (or rover) to operate even when not perfectly level, maintaining accuracy up to 60° tilt. In practical terms, setting up the base station on uneven farm terrain is hassle-free, and the system still delivers reliable corrections – saving you setup time and effort.
-
30 L High-Performance Sprayer – You get all the firepower of the L30 Agriculture Drone: a 30 L tank, 21 ha/hour coverage rate, 16 L/min max flow, and CDA spray system for optimal droplet size. The RTK enhancement means this capacity is utilized with maximum efficiency, as the drone can follow planned tracks without overlap, conserving chemicals and battery life.
-
Advanced Flight Automation – Coupled with RTK, the L30 can execute sophisticated flight plans with confidence. For instance, you can pre-program grid missions for multispectral imaging or NDVI crop scouting; the RTK will ensure each pass aligns perfectly with the last. When spraying, boundary avoidance and section control become more precise, preventing drift outside field edges.
-
Improved Data Collection – This RTK-enabled drone isn’t just for spraying; it doubles as a precision surveying tool. Use it to generate highly accurate DEMs (Digital Elevation Models) of your land or to geo-tag pest infestation areas for follow-up. The centimetric accuracy is a huge boon for creating farm maps, irrigation plans, or for submitting compliance documentation that requires accurate area measurements.
-
Enhanced Reliability & Efficiency – The combination of L30’s robust design and RS3’s reliable corrections yields a system you can count on. Even in areas with patchy mobile signal or GPS challenges, the local RTK link keeps the drone on track. This reliability means fewer resprays or re-flights. Plus, by minimizing overlaps, you save on agrochemical costs and battery usage, making each mission highly efficient.
The ABZ Innovation L30 Emlid RS3 kit is tailored for innovative farmers and agricultural professionals who demand ultimate precision. It’s particularly valuable for high-value crops (like vineyards or orchards) where targeting specific areas can prevent waste, or for research institutions conducting trials that require accurate and repeatable applications. By investing in this RTK-enabled drone system, you’re embracing the forefront of precision farming – where every centimeter and every drop is accounted for. From crop protection to surveying, the L30 Emlid RS3 delivers accuracy that translates into better yields, lower costs, and data you can trust for decision-making in your agricultural enterprise.
