Farmers cannot efficiently inspect large center pivot irrigation systems without physically traveling to remote fields

Large-scale farmers operating center pivot irrigation systems must manually drive to distant fields to inspect equipment for malfunctions, leaks, and mechanical failures, consuming hours of time and delaying problem detection. Current manual inspection methods are time-consuming, inefficient, and leave farmers unable to monitor multiple pivots simultaneously across their operation. Drones offer a solution, but adoption remains low due to skepticism about technology readiness, cost, and integration with existing farm operations.
