Pix4D and TopXGun partner for targeted aerial applications
Pix4D, the Swiss pioneer in photogrammetry and digital agriculture, announces a strategic partnership with TopXGun, a provider of precision‑spray drone technology. As part of this collaboration, customers purchasing eligible TopXGun spray drones will receive a free one-year PIX4Dfields license, providing a smart spray solution for precision agriculture applications.
PIX4Dfields combines live satellite and drone imagery, using advanced AI algorithms to enable users to map field boundaries, automatically detect obstacles, and generate variable-rate or spot spraying prescriptions, including green-on-green. Processing is completely offline and at the field edge. This supports efficient and safer aerial operations and a sustainable use of agricultural inputs.
“TopXGun pilots already fly one of the most advanced aerial application platforms on the market. By adding PIX4Dfields out of the box, we give them the map‑based intelligence, powered by advanced algorithms, to plan safer missions, spray only where crops need it, and document every hectare with professional reports. This is the first step in an aligned roadmap that strives towards creating the smartest applicators in the sky." - Andrey Kleymenov, CEO at Pix4D
TopXGun Robotics focuses on autonomous flight control systems and digital sky operation technologies. The company leverages big data and artificial intelligence to enhance the safety, intelligence, and economy of UAVs. Their business includes complete drone systems, integrated sensors, high-precision payloads, and industry-specific application software. These technologies are used in sectors such as agricultural crop protection, logistics and delivery, powerline inspection, and public safety management.
The collaboration aims to provide users with a complete and integrated workflow, combining data processing and AI algorithms with precision spray drone hardware. Both companies are already co‑engineering next‑generation solutions — covering API‑based map and prescription transfer, digital surface models for terrain‑following, and smarter “zone‑to‑zone” patch spraying — supporting a more accurate and sustainable approach to crop management from data capture to application.
“Pix4D’s solution perfectly fits into our vision of intelligent, efficient crop care. Together, we’re building a roadmap for deeper firmware and software integration—so our customers stay ahead as aerial application evolves." - Francesco Zhang, Vice President at TopXGun
