Business challenge<\/h2>\n
Our client is a multinational agricultural company that supplies innovative drone technology for agriculture and crop scouting software<\/span>\u00a0enabling farmers and agribusinesses to overcome the most significant challenges of everyday farming operations. One of these challenges is the time-consuming and costly collection, analysis, and transmission of field data on trial plots to get insights on the effectiveness of crop treatments.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, agricultural workers have had to move from one field to another and manually collect data on plants, seeds, and crop varieties. Usually, farmers and growers have several big fields separated and mapped by trial plots for crops they\u2019re trying to grow under certain conditions, in different soils, and using specific fertilizers. Each trial plot can be planted with different seeds and in locations far from each other. But manually collecting data from trial plots increases farmers\u2019 expenses.<\/p>\n
Farmers required a UAV crop monitoring solution to effortlessly monitor and analyze what approach works best for each plant. Our client had to move fast to develop a crop analysis software\u00a0<\/span>prototype, get user feedback, and implement an AgriTech drone solution for farm mapping services<\/a>.<\/p>\n
