AR and IoT Solution: Aerial Scouting Cloud Platform

Together with our partner representatives, our development and analytical teams developed smart, scalable solution to help agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture improve yield, management practices, productivity, and profitability. The main focus of the Cloud-based platform is aerial image recognition and detection of different features in pictures: damages, risks, objects, etc.

Our solution uses a smart IoT (drone and sensory) technology to provide customized agricultural advice for specific crops grown by a farmer, based on localized weather and soil data, pests, and diseases and augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR) to display the information in a convenient and engaging way. Program-Ace also advocated for incorporating potentially useful information, for instance, crop color, texture, and how the crop is growing over time. Moreover, an additional integration of analytical systems allowed our Cloud app to make a huge impact on the entire process of farming, empowering farmer’s incredible capabilities for health monitoring, precision agriculture, and even yield prediction.

In order to get the best experience from our solutions, farmers have to own at least one drone that will fly around the observed territory, take pictures of it, and catch even the slightest changes in the terrain. Then, the drone sends all the information to a special Cloud app developed by Program-Ace. The powerful Cloud analytical system refines provided information and delivers statistics to the consultant company, where the solution for farmers will be developed and provided.

Another advantage for the end-user is augmented reality or/and mixed reality distance consulting. The AR principle “what I see is what you see” makes your decisions easier and faster as they happen in the real-time mode. These instruments provide consultant eyes-on-the-ground, empowering both them and farmers to recommend crop protection prescriptions and optimize agronomic decision-making.

Using the technologies such as IoT and Deep Learning to empower drones to take the business of insurers to a whole new level, we delivered a range of practical applications that allow for the regular, accurate collection of data from any source, which can, in turn, be used to transform underwriting and claims processing into far more objective and fraud-free procedures.
