Micro-decisions, optimized crop yield

Intro

Support precision agriculture with UP42

In the face of increased climate variation and extreme weather, industrial agriculture companies are neutralizing risk through crop insurance. The pricing of crop insurance policies can be remotely informed by historical analysis and predictions of crop health, weather events, and water-related geohazards, such as flooding or irrigation contamination.

Overview

Regular imagery with no minimum AOI

Either task a satellite for specific date ranges or use the latest archive imagery, filtered by date, cloud cover, and area of your customers' infrastructure.

Statistical indexes and machine learning

Out of the box pixel analytics and machine-learning algorithms compatible with satellite imagery optimize agriculture processes.

Processing power that scales

Whether you are running workflows for a single farm or a large industrial agriculture complex, our infrastructure will manage the load.

Benefits

Build your solution with UP42

The technical details

How can you use UP42 to build precision agriculture solutions?

Data and imagery

Varied, industry-leading data sets

Accurately analyzing the health and requirements of crops relies on accurate and holistic input data. Choose from a variety of high-resolution satellite imagery, alongside aerial imagery, weather data, and more. Add the data directly or process it within an UP42 analytics workflow.

Pixel analytics

Apply band math blocks to your imagery

UP42 has a wide array of statistical indices that can provide detailed information about your crops' health. Choose from NDVI, CIgreen, ARVI, EVI, and SAVI to ensure you have the most suitable measure of crop health for your customers' distinct requirements.

Machine learning

Deliver accurate recommendations

Process your high-resolution satellite data with machine-learning algorithms, such as Vultus's Fertilization Zoning Maps. This algorithm from Vultus, as an example, provides your end-users with targeted recommendations on which areas of their agricultural land require higher or lower amounts of fertilizer.

Insight delivery

Automate, embed and scale your analytics

Through the UP42, and supported by the Python SDK, it is easier than ever to integrate the outputs of UP42 workflows into your end-users' products. Trigger your analysis through the Python SDK and access your outputs via download or integrated into your products or cloud storage. For larger AOIs, you can seamlessly scale your analysis by parallelizing your jobs.
