Collaboration to deliver digital mapping
technology and advanced analytics for agricultural markets
DALLAS, March 31,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) signed a new
three-year agreement with Intelinair for agriculture technology
(AgTech) markets beginning in 2022 and extending through 2024.
Jacobs is providing scalable, high-grade multispectral sensor
systems and aerial imagery services, while Intelinair provides
its artificial intelligence (AI) powered crop analytics
AGMRI®™ platform to deliver a complete view of every
acre and field – from planting to harvest – providing timely
insights to yield a sustainable crop supply. The agreement supports
both Intelinair's market expansion commitment and Jacobs' focus on
digitally enabled sustainability and environmental practices. The
capacity of Jacobs' services and systems have approximately doubled
from 2021, and is expected to grow further.
"Continuing our work with Intelinair and providing digital
solutions to the agricultural market supports Jacobs' commitment to
creating a more connected, sustainable world," said Jacobs
Executive Vice President and President of Critical Mission
Solutions Steve Arnette. "Our cutting-edge GeoPod™ sensors are
flown over 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."
Jacobs' GeoPod multispectral sensor system has been developed to
address a variety of environmental applications, including
supporting the precision agriculture analytics market in which
Intelinair is a leader. The GeoPod sensor is radiometrically
calibrated, providing industry-leading data quality to support
advanced spectral analytics. Its wide-area collection capabilities
and ease of deployment enable scaling up of operations across
expansive regions, in any area of the world.
Intelinair chose Jacobs to supply imagery services due to its
demonstrated technical and operational advantages. Its sensors
offer market-leading, real-world resolution, radiometric
sensitivity and accuracy. Its unique processing approach enables
rapid turnaround and extreme scalability, while its operational
excellence ensures high delivery reliability that is required by
agriculture customers.
"Our goal is to deliver agronomic insights that achieve yield
and productivity improvements, and we do this through our automated
digital platform, AGMRI," said Intelinair CEO & President
Tim Hassinger. "Pairing the hi-res
image capabilities captured by Jacobs and the analytics of
Intelinair provides a bird's-eye view of the fields to farmers. In
one scalable, digital platform, we are able to provide actionable
field intelligence so farmers can take action before issues become
problems from planting to harvest."
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
