About

Dr. Jannette Quino is a leading innovator at the intersection of precision agriculture and automation, with a primary research focus on integrating unmanned aerial systems (drones) with RFID technology to revolutionize plant inventory management. Her groundbreaking 2021 paper, "RFID and Drones: The Next Generation of Plant Inventory," has garnered 25 citations and addresses a critical industry bottleneck: the labor-intensive, costly, and error-prone process of collecting plant data such as count, grade, and size. Quino’s major contribution lies in demonstrating a scalable, automated solution that replaces manual scouting with drone-mounted RFID readers, enabling growers—from small nurseries to large operations—to achieve real-time, accurate inventory tracking. This work directly responds to rising labor shortages and costs, offering a practical pathway for the nursery industry to adopt smart farming technologies. Her research not only enhances operational efficiency but also lays the groundwork for data-driven yield optimization, positioning her as a key figure in the future of agricultural robotics and IoT-driven crop management.
