Modern farming has many challenges. Farmers today face climate change, ever-changing consumer expectations, rising demands, and more. The agricultural (ag) industry is under immense pressure to increase sustainability and efficiency, while also striving to maintain profitability. Leveraging current technologies, the ag industry now has a wide suite of highly sophisticated tools available to aid them. In recent years, use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have brought crop intelligence and irrigation inspection to new levels. Drones can easily capture high-resolution imagery of entire crop fields day after day for analysis and statistical data.
Our customer is a leader in ag imagery analytics and has developed a platform that automates the extraction of data from aerial imagery and analyzes this data in real time across the growing season. Farmers can supplement or replace in-person visits and still control quality and identify issues. Their machine learning algorithm produces actionable insights so that growers can make smarter decisions and produce larger yields with smaller inputs.
