FarmBeats is an end-to-end AI and IoT system for agriculture that helps address these challenges and enable precision agriculture techniques. In particular, FarmBeats gathers data from sensors, cameras, and drones, to produce actionable insights for farmers. Moreover, it can extend Internet coverage to the farm and is resilient towards weather related outages or power variability. Thus far the FarmBeats system has been deployed worldwide, including locations in the United States, India, Africa, and China to name a few. FarmBeats is being used for a variety of agriculture applications such as storage monitoring, generating precision sensor maps of crop fields, animal monitoring, and much more. To get a better understanding of what all FarmBeats encompasses we explain the main components of the system and provide a case study of a FarmBeats deployment on Nelson farm in Spokane, WA.
With FarmVibes.AI, you can develop rich geospatial insights for agriculture and sustainability. Build models that fuse multiple geospatial and spatiotemporal datasets to obtain insights (e.g. estimate carbon footprint, understand growth rate, detect practices followed) that would be hard to obtain when these datasets are used in isolation. You can fuse together satellite imagery (RGB, SAR, multispectral), drone imagery, weather data, and more.
