BlueFlé in the field

From spray rig
to clear records.

BlueFlé brings the physical spray operation and its digital record together—helping operators apply the intended amount, protect the farm's chemical budget and give customers a clear view of every completed shift.

Two BlueFlé systems

Choose how you control.
Keep the same visibility.

Standard and Lite both measure the spray operation and create the same clear management record. The difference is simple: with Standard, BlueFlé adjusts the application rate automatically; with Lite, the operator follows live guidance.

The business case

Turn application accuracy
into measurable savings.

Chemicals are one of a farm's largest operating costs. Even a modest reduction in avoidable over-application can make the BlueFlé system pay for itself—while accurate application also reduces the costly risk of ineffective under-application.

60–67%

Lower pesticide cost

A USDA/Ohio State apple-orchard model reported annual pesticide savings of US$1,420–US$1,750 per hectare and payback in 1.1–3.8 years.

35%

Lower spray volume

A vineyard field trial maintained comparable deposition while saving €2,599.50 in a season—€2,502.50 of it in pesticides.

30–85%

Lower pesticide use

USDA field testing across multiple specialty crops maintained effective control while reporting annual chemical savings of US$56–US$812 per acre.

How this applies to BlueFlé: these independent studies demonstrate the wider potential of precision and canopy-responsive spraying; they do not predict a guaranteed BlueFlé result. BlueFlé's rate control and daily measurement are designed to prevent application-rate errors and make the customer's actual performance visible. Ohio State recommends correcting orchard sprayers when actual application differs from the intended rate by more than 5%. View the calibration guidance ↗

Macadamia reference case: at an expected seasonal chemical cost of approximately R11,000 per hectare and one spray rig per 50 hectares, each rig influences a chemical budget of roughly R550,000 per season. A 10% improvement represents R55,000 a year—paying back the R67,000 Standard launch price in approximately 1.2 seasons, or the full R94,000 Standard retail price in approximately 1.7 seasons.

Seasonal chemical budgetR 550 000
Potential annual savingR 55 000
Launch-price payback1.2 years
Retail-price payback1.7 years
Saving after year-one payment-R 12 000

The starting values use a macadamia reference cost of R11,000 per hectare per season and the guideline of one spray rig per 50 hectares. Prices and estimates exclude VAT. Actual savings depend on the farm's existing application accuracy, chemical programme, crop, canopy and operating conditions. This calculator does not promise or guarantee a saving.
