Geosys Collaborates with Textron Systems in Agribusiness

Geosysand Textron Systems have announced a successful demonstration of scientific-grade, high resolution aerial survey imagery to agribusinesses with a resolution up to three centimetres per pixel. Each company brings 30 years of experience in its respective industry to the agricultural sector.

在2017年的生长季节,Geosys和公司Systems successfully completed a multi-state project in the United States to digitalise field trials and production fields. The collaboration between the two companies will help address the needs for strip trials, high-value crops and small plots, in which high-resolution imagery provides value in precisely evaluating variability, up to the plant level. Because Textron Systems delivers processed multispectral orthoimagery, it can be integrated into Geosys' platform where it is cross-calibrated and used in conjunction with satellite imagery.

Geosys has been delivering remote sensing technology to agribusiness since its start in 1987. Through the development of its proprietary, source-agnostic image processing system, Geosys can acquire images from a variety of sources systematically to ensure a daily flow of data to its customers.

“We have been actively looking for high-resolution imagery sources to enhance our decision support tools.” said Dave Gebhardt, vice president of strategy at Geosys, “Textron Systems met our enterprise needs and came with a proven track record of data delivery.”

Textron Systems applies industry practices for delivering multispectral aerial imagery to customers – allowing for on-demand, next-day multispectral imagery service from acquisition to delivery.

“Working closely with Geosys has provided a great deal of business value to our end users in agriculture,” said Steve Mensh, electronic systems senior vice president and general manager at Textron Systems. “Geosys has the background and capabilities to turn pixels into actionable insights for agribusinesses, and we are equipped to help them bring high-resolution imagery to this industry.”
