Special report from Sadra Sanat Hopad Company; a pioneer in the development of smart drones and functional robots
In recent years, Sadra Sanat Hoopad Company, relying on the expertise of young Iranian engineers, has become one of the key players in the field of new robotic technologies, agricultural drones, and automated systems in the country. With a knowledge-based approach and an industrial perspective, this complex has taken steps towards localizing advanced technologies and responding to the real needs of agriculture and domestic industries.
Company Mission: Linking engineering knowledge with real needs
With the aim of transforming Iran into one of the technology production hubs in the region, Sadra Sanat Hopad has focused on three main axes:
- Design and manufacture of agricultural drones for pesticide spraying, land monitoring, and aerial mapping
- Developing intelligent ground robots for crop harvesting, soil monitoring, and fertilization
- Providing integrated software and hardware infrastructure in the form of remote control systems, agricultural databases, and artificial intelligence
By combining mechanical engineering, electronics, artificial intelligence, and industrial design, this company has succeeded in creating products and solutions that are unique in the country.
Notable achievements and projects
🔹 SH-H1 agricultural drone:
Spraying drone with automatic flight capabilities, precise GPS mapping, adaptive altitude control, and a tank carrying capacity of up to 20 liters. Suitable for large farms, reducing pesticide consumption by up to 30%.
🔹 Intelligent ground monitoring robot:
A lightweight, robust robot equipped with multiple sensors (soil moisture, pH, spectral camera) that moves autonomously through fields and sends data to a central server.
🔹 Drone and agricultural data management system (SmartAgri Cloud):
A platform for controlling and planning drone flights, analyzing collected data, and producing accurate decision-making maps for farmers.
Industrial licenses and development
In June 2025, Sadra Sanat Hoopad succeeded in receiving an official license to establish an agricultural drone manufacturing factory from the Ministry of Agriculture. The factory, with an annual production capacity of 500 units, will be set up in the [location name] industrial park and is expected to become a drone export center in the region.
Future outlook: From the farm to global markets
With the increasing population growth, water crisis, and the need to optimize resources in agriculture, Sadra Sanat Hoopad Company has defined its mission beyond the borders of Iran. The company is planning to enter the markets of neighboring countries and Central Asia and is negotiating with relevant institutions to obtain international certifications.
