As an intelligent UAV specifically designed for plant protection, its design goal is to integrate modern technology with natural aesthetics, achieving highly intelligent and precise management to comprehensively protect and maintain the plant growth environment.

X-Plant Guard not only adheres to minimalist aesthetics but also fully utilizes a profound understanding of the exquisite beauty of nature in its appearance. It adopts curved surface, inspired by the wings of butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects. By mimicking the biological forms of insects, it has evolved into an X-shaped biomimetic structure. The integration of natural inspiration into its design allows the UAV to visually merge with the natural environment and coexist harmoniously with its surroundings.

X-Plant Guard is committed to advancing the field of plant protection through a revolution in full automation. Utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology and autonomous control systems, it achieves 24/7 unmanned operation. From unmanned whitewashing to growth monitoring, and even pest control spraying, X-Plant Guard provides comprehensive automated care for trees. While continuously protecting plants, it optimizes the allocation of human resources and improves operational efficiency, bringing a brand-new solution to the field of plant protection.

X-Plant Guard incorporates advanced technologies such as stress wave rings, enabling intuitive monitoring of plant cross-sections to understand pest and disease situations. This achieves unprecedented high-precision intelligent management, significantly improving the efficiency of human-machine collaboration. By accessing internet detection platforms, X-Plant Guard can collect information on tree status, soil nutrients, humidity, and more, generating more intelligent and comprehensive monitoring reports. Subsequent phased data analysis summaries enable timely execution of whitewashing and pesticide spraying for effective prevention of pests, diseases, natural disasters, and more.

X-Plant Guard takes user-friendly design as its core, emphasizing convenience of operation and friendly human-machine interaction. Its built-in infrared sensing system can clearly identify trees and autonomously avoid obstacles, enhancing flight safety. The fully automated operating system ensures that users can easily get started, reducing operational complexity and learning costs. Additionally, the separated design of the base station and the drone allows the base station to flexibly track the drone's path, providing users with a more convenient user experience.
