Every site on the list, checked every round.
Programmes for wilding conifers, white bryony and other pest plants run across hundreds of scattered sites. ORCA shares the list across the fleet, checks each site, and gives your officer a ranked list of likely finds to confirm.
From what your team does today, to what the fleet does for it.
The work is capped by headcount
- Staff drive and walk to each site, and the hardest to reach are visited least.
- Rounds slip, so some sites are checked once a season or not at all.
- Results are typed up after the round.
One operator, the whole fleet
- Every site is checked each round, including the remote ones.
- Officers spend their time confirming finds, not travelling to look.
- The treatment list builds itself as finds are confirmed.
Why this job needs more than one drone.
A fleet earns its place when there’s too much ground for the time available, when coverage can’t have a gap, or when people are the limit.
Hundreds of sites, one season
Sites are scattered across a region. Sharing them across a fleet is how all of them get reached in one round.
The round still finishes
When a drone has a fault or needs charging, its remaining sites are shared out without anyone stepping in.
Expertise where it counts
Officers judge what the drones flag. Nobody spends a day driving to a site that turns out to be clear.
Answers your team can act on.
Not hours of footage. Each output goes straight into the systems you already use.
