Stop Letting Your Farm Data Leave the Country: Why U.S. Drone Software Matters

Hardware often gets all the glory, but in today’s agricultural landscape, the software running your spray drone is just as critical. In agriculture, timing is everything. When you’re fighting the clock to plant cover crops or knock out weeds, you don’t have time to mess around with poorly designed and hard-to-use controls in the field. Equipment that is hard to use, complete with confusing interfaces, glitches, or delays, turns even the best drone into a liability.

Beyond the frustration of buried menus, there is a growing concern that American operators can no longer ignore: data security. If you are flying a foreign-built drone, you have to ask yourself where your flight logs and field data are actually going. You don’t need software; you need a way to operate your business more efficiently without worrying about your data leaving the country.

“That is why Exedy Drones took a completely different approach. We partnered with American software companies to ensure our software is built by U.S. engineers, secured on U.S. servers, and made for the American operator. It is designed for agriculture, built in the USA, and ready when you are.”

01Secure Data on U.S. Servers

With our American software platform, you securely store your flight logs on U.S. servers. 100% of the software engineers and customer support team live and work in the U.S. full-time. This means no foreign guesswork and no concerns about your proprietary farm data being shipped overseas. It also ensures you start (or stay) 100% FAA compliant.

02Built for the American Operator

Foreign apps often feel like an afterthought, forcing you to constantly convert metric measurements or dig through hidden screens. Our software is built by American engineers and designed for American spray drone operators. It uses the imperial system out of the box: gallons, acres, and feet. It combines a Ground Control Station with a Drone Data Manager and integrates with our software to help you with all pre- and post-flight operations.

By pairing Exedy’s U.S.-built hardware with American software, we ensure you can access and control your drone data. And if you ever need help, our industry-leading enablement partner ensures you have a dealer network ready to keep you in the air.

Exedy Drones are Built Different, Built for U.S. Operators. Because if flying your drone isn’t simple and reliable, it’s basically useless.
