Automated crop intelligence provider Intelinair is expanding its collaboration with engineering specialist Jacobs for AgTech markets beginning in 2022 and extending through the end of 2024.

Through the three-year agreement, Jacobs will provide high-grade multispectral sensor systems and aerial imagery services, while Intelinair will provide its artificial intelligence (AI) powered crop analytics AGMRI platform.

Pairing the hi-res image capabilities captured by Jacobs and the analytics of Intelinair will provide farmers, crop consultants and agricultural retailers a bird’s-eye view of their fields. Farmers and others will be able to see issues developing in fields from their smartphone, tablet or computer.

According to Intelinair, AGMRI will automate and simplify the replant process, and generate a Smart Alert for each field or part of a field affected by poor emergence and in need of replant as well as generate a replant prescription which can be synced wirelessly to the farmers’ precision agriculture equipment in the field.

“Our goal is to deliver agronomic insights that achieve yield and productivity improvements, and we do this through our automated digital platform, AGMRI,” said Tim Hassinger, CEO & President of Intelinair. “In one scalable, digital platform, we are able to provide actionable field intelligence so farmers can take action before issues become problems all the way from planting to harvest.”

“We welcome the opportunity to continue our work with Intelinair to provide digital solutions to the agricultural market,” said Jacobs Executive Vice President and President of Critical Mission Solutions Steve Arnette. “Our cutting-edge GeoPod sensors are flown over farm fields 13 times during the growing season to conduct high-resolution digital mapping. The multispectral imagery our sensors produce is then used by Intelinair to create timely agronomic insights that aid farmers in making real-time management decisions.”
