Pesticide spraying with autonomous navigation drones.
Due to the rising costs of pesticides and fertilizers, high-performance drones for efficient automatic pesticide spraying have recently gained attention. By introducing agricultural drones, it is possible to spray liquid pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides. However, with standard GPS positioning, there can be errors in location information, which may lead to spraying on other crops or neighboring fields, making the accuracy of location information crucial. ALES offers a network RTK service called "centimeter-level positioning service" to improve the accuracy of automatic navigation for drones.

basic information
At ALES Corporation, we utilize the unique reference points received by SoftBank Corporation to generate and distribute correction information through the ALES distribution system. By using the generated/distributed correction information along with the signals received by GNSS receivers (mobile stations), high-precision positioning with an accuracy of a few centimeters can be achieved in real-time through RTK positioning. By applying corrections with the correction information, it becomes possible to provide high-precision location information for agricultural machinery, drones, construction equipment, autonomous vehicles, and more.

Company information
ALES Corporation is a company established in July 2018 through a joint investment by SoftBank Corp. and Enabler Inc., which has technical expertise in satellite positioning. Based on the signals received by SoftBank's unique reference points, ALES generates correction information using the "ALES Distribution System (*1)" and provides the necessary correction information for high-precision positioning to GNSS (*2) receivers (including dedicated devices, smartphones, etc.), or performs correction calculations on the cloud to directly deliver highly accurate location information to GNSS receivers, enabling centimeter-level positioning services. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. *1 The ALES Distribution System is our proprietary high-precision positioning information distribution system based on RTK (Real Time Kinematic) positioning. *2 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) refers to the general term for satellite positioning systems such as QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System), GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.
