What EAVISION does
EAVISION (极目无人机) is a Chinese agricultural drone technology company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Hangzhou, China (with operating presence in Suzhou), that designs, manufactures, and sells autonomous spraying, seeding, and lifting drones for commercial agriculture. Its product portfolio spans entry-level models (EA-S40, EA-J70) for solo operators, mid-range professional units (EA-J110, EA-J100), and flagship all-scenario drones (EA-J150 2025, EA-J160 2026), with a legacy line extending back to the EA-16X (2020). The company sells through an authorized dealer/agent network in China and pursues international markets via trade-show-led demand generation (Agrishow 2026 in Brazil) and OEM/licensing partnerships (Agri Spray Drones in the US). Cumulative funding raised since 2017 totals roughly $67M, including a $30M round in April 2021 led by Temasek, CITIC Agriculture, and Bits x Bites, and a follow-on $11.8M round in April 2025. Headcount sits in the 101–250 range.
EAVISION's core technology centers on autonomous terrain-following flight, real-time obstacle perception and avoidance, 3D scene reconstruction with semantic map recognition, canopy-imitating flight for orchards, and variable droplet size control (10–500 microns). These capabilities are purpose-built for the irregular terrain, dense canopies, and labor-shortage conditions characteristic of Chinese, Brazilian, and US agricultural operations. End markets include fruit trees (citrus, apples, sugarcane), grain crops (rice, wheat, corn), and economic crops (cotton, tea), with quantified outcomes framed around chemical drift reduction and labor displacement. The company is making an early transition from pure hardware toward software-adjacent economics, evidenced by its March 2026 API integration with AcreConnect for automated flight-log sync and FAA reporting — the first API-based data connection available for EAVISION drones.
The revenue model is hardware-led (one-time drone sales across multiple SKUs) distributed through authorized dealers, supplemented by licensing/OEM economics via the Agri Spray Drones US partnership and emerging software/API integration revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Geographic footprint now spans East Asia (China, primary), North America (US, via partnership-led licensing), and Latin America (Brazil, post-Agrishow 2026), with US market access structured specifically around domestic production to navigate FCC restrictions on foreign-made drones. No revenue, ARR, or unit shipment figures are publicly disclosed.

EAVISION product offering
Product offeringCore offering
EAVISION designs, manufactures, and sells autonomous agricultural drones used for pesticide and foliar spraying, direct seeding (including rice paddy seeding), and aerial material lifting. Its drones are differentiated by proprietary terrain-following technology that maintains consistent spray height and coverage on hilly, mountainous, and otherwise complex farmland where conventional agricultural drones underperform.
Product overview
EAVISION is an agricultural drone technology company offering a comprehensive portfolio of autonomous spraying, seeding, and lifting drones. The product lineup spans from entry-level models (EA-S40, EA-J70) for individual farmers and single-operator use, through mid-range professional solutions (EA-J110, EA-J100) for medium-sized farms, to flagship models (EA-J160 2026, EA-J150 2025) designed for full-scene, all-crop operations. The portfolio includes both current-generation models and legacy versions dating back to 2020. Key applications include terrain-following spray operations on irregular terrain, precision spraying for fruit trees (citrus, apples, sugarcane), grain crops (rice, wheat, corn), and economic crops (cotton, tea), with 3D scene reconstruction and map semantic recognition for autonomous obstacle avoidance and canopy-level flight.

EAVISION competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- DJI (Agras series): DJI is the global market leader in agricultural spray drones with its Agras T-series. Direct competitor in autonomous spraying for row crops, orchards, and grain operations, with substantially larger scale and distribution.
- XAG: XAG is a leading Chinese agricultural drone manufacturer offering autonomous spraying, seeding, and mapping drones. Direct competitor with overlapping product portfolio and similar target customers in China and Southeast Asia.
- Agri Spray Drones: Agri Spray Drones is EAVISION's US licensing partner and a distributor of agricultural spray drones. Comparable in US market positioning and customer focus (commercial spraying operators), and channels EAVISION technology.
Broad incumbents
- Yamaha Motor (FAZER / RMAX): Yamaha has decades of leadership in manned agricultural helicopters (RMAX) and unmanned helicopters (FAZER). Competes in the same end application (aerial crop application) via different platform (manned/unmanned helicopter vs multirotor drone).
- Parrot (senseFly / ANAFI): Parrot's senseFi/eBee line covers agricultural mapping and surveying, while ANAFI USA targets inspection. Overlaps with EAVISION in agricultural aerial imaging and survey use cases, though primarily focused on mapping rather than spraying.
- John Deere (See & Spray): John Deere is a global agricultural equipment giant with precision spraying technology (See & Spray) integrated into tractors. Adjacent competition in precision application — competing for the same precision-spraying use case from a ground-based platform.
- Trimble Agriculture: Trimble provides precision agriculture hardware and software (GNSS guidance, variable rate application). Not a drone manufacturer, but an adjacent incumbent in agricultural precision technology that drone sprayers often integrate with.
Emerging players
- PrecisionHawk: PrecisionHawk provides commercial drone solutions and analytics for agriculture, with strength in aerial imaging, mapping, and data analytics. Partial overlap with EAVISION in agricultural aerial data, though focused more on the analytics layer than spraying.
- AgEagle Aerial Systems: AgEagle designs, manufactures, and services commercial drones for agriculture and other industries. Comparable as a US-listed agricultural drone specialist with overlapping target customers in the row-crop and specialty-crop spraying market.
Others
- AcreConnect: AcreConnect is the spray drone operations software platform integrated with EAVISION via API. Not a direct competitor, but a complementary ecosystem partner — useful as a reference for the operational software layer of the agricultural drone market.
