Deep in the heart of Malaysia's rubber estates, many farmers are getting a high-tech helping hand from Guilin Feiyu Technology in the traditional pillar sector. Above and amid the rubber trees that produce the natural latex sap that is tapped for products ranging from rubber gloves to car tires, a fleet of Feiyu aerial survey drones assist in detecting and monitoring pests and diseases that could harm the crucial crop.

Guilin Feiyu Technology is a Chinese high-end equipment manufacturer in the city of Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The company, which was built in 2007, is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, production and sales of civilian drones and hand-held camera gimbals, devices that allow a camera or smartphone to incline freely in any direction or that suspend it so it will remain level when its support is tipped, as well as sports and healthcare devices. Recent orders from Guilin authorities have included seven state-of-the-art drones for the city's emergency services. These are customized to help deploy buoys during water rescues, with each device costing from CNY 80,000 to 100,000, according to a person who is familiar with the thing.

Feiyu started in the model aircraft industry. It has since expanded, maintaining its strong focus on research and development, Wang added. According to the company, more than half of its major products are exported to over 120 countries and regions, with technology and communications enterprises ranging from Huawei to Tencent involved in long-term partnerships. Feiyu's drones, which focus on practical applications in fields such as geographic surveying and mapping, are exported to countries ranging from Indonesia to India. The export volume of the company's specialty drones has grown to nearly CNY 20 million yuan (USD 2.76 million) in the past four years, with a total output value for 2021 of CNY 250 million.
