Summary:
Agroview (agintel.ai), a patented (U.S. Patent No. 12,008,730, issued June 11, 2024), cloud-based, and AI-powered platform, can be used for processing, analyzing, and visualizing data collected from aerial (e.g., UAVs, airplanes, satellites) and ground-based (e.g., smart sprayers) sensing systems. Agroview is actively used by specialty crop growers, consulting firms, and crop insurance providers to monitor field conditions and make informed, data-driven, and plant-based decisions (video demos: (1) tinyurl.com/2uurssrh; (2) tinyurl. com/38f37t59). In 2020, Agriculture Intelligence Inc. (agintel.ai), a University of Florida spinoff company, licensed and commercialized the technology. Since then, Agroview has been deployed across more than 100,000 acres of citrus in Florida, demonstrating its scalability and real-world impact. Compared to traditional manual methods for collecting tree inventories, estimating plant nutrient levels, and predicting yield, Agroview significantly reduces both time and cost, by as much as 90% in some cases. The platform also supports rapid post-disaster crop damage assessments (e.g., after hurricanes), offering a critical tool for enhancing agricultural resilience and recovery.
Take Home Message:
- Agroview enables fast, accurate, and affordable citrus analytics using AI and remote sensing.
- The platform is commercially deployed across 100,000+ acres, proving its scalability and value.
- It supports rapid post-disaster assessments, enhancing resilience in citrus production.
