Product portfolio

Type
Digital.Crop.Type

Crop Type Detection

Uncover nature‘s palette in every field.

One core element is the identification of the planted crop.
Knowing WHAT is growing and WHERE to find it, is the first step towards agricultural digitalization.

 

Cover
Digital.Crop.Cover

Identification of cover crops

Protecting our soils for future produce.

By identifying periods of vegetative growth and areas no or little coverage we identify fallow land, winter catch crops as well as various agricultural practices.

 

 

Mowing
Digital.Crop.Mowing

Mowing event detection

A glimpse into the timing of grassland management.

This product identifies time and frequency of grassland mowing, quantifying the intensity of land use and eligibility of mowing events.

 

 

Harvest
Digital.Crop.Harvest

Harvest date identification

Revealing the timely story behind crop life cycles.

This product accurately determines the day of the harvest, enabling you to optimize your agricultural operations.

 

 

Change
Digital.Crop.Change

Change mapping

Identifying temporal transformations, plot by plot.

Agricultural is ever-changing, we identify changes in crop types and agricultural practices, anytime-anywhere.

 

Homogeneity
Digital.Crop.Homogeneity

Quantifies the parcel homogeneity

Recognizing harmony in every hectare.

A field is rarely homogeneous. This product determines whether this is due to a different crop types or some natural variability.

 

 

Imperviousness
Digital.Soil.Imperviousness

Identifies soil sealing and degree of sealing

Uncovering sealing of precious agricultural land.

Fertile soil is the greatest asset of farmers, we identify the degree of soil sealing due to natural and manmade interventions on every field.

 

 

Yield
Digital.Crop.Yield

Prediction on current state & forecast of yield potential

Best-in-class models for predicting food security and profit.

Continuous growth monitoring of the crop leads to more accurate yield predictions, allowing to steer interventions and forecast revenue.

 

 

Moisture
Digital.Soil.Moisture

Providing insights to soil-health and -resources

Accurate and timely measurement of the water content in the soil help to ensure optimal plant growth and input for irrigation to maximize yield, while keeping expanses to a minimum.
