Sentera announces the availability of its precision agriculture solutions at over 350 retail locations across North America. By broadening the reach of Sentera’s precision agriculture offering, agronomists, crop consultants and growers can leverage critical normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data starting the first of the 2017 growing season. Early adopters will see the benefits of Sentera’s solutions, accurately collecting and driving in-field decisions while helping manage and interpret crop health data and, ultimately, profitability.
Sentera’s complete precision agriculture data solutions include AgVault web, desktop and mobile applications that accurately collect, interpret and analyze crop health data gathered by the company’s ultra-precise TrueNDVI sensors integrated into easy-to-fly drone platforms. Sentera and its distribution partner, Dynamic UAV Solutions, deliver these solutions throughout the industry.
“We are excited to offer our solutions through a strong and rapidly growing dealer network, where end users find Sentera’s precision ag solutions [to be] technologically robust and simple to operate,” says Kris Poulson, vice president of agriculture for Sentera. “Users find immediate value in our turnkey solutions that delivers maps and streaming NDVI at the field, and high-accuracy data to cloud-based tools.
“Our integrated solution helps dealerships offer their customers a frictionless, painless precision agriculture experience,” Poulson continues. “Users can be confident that data products are compatible and precise and flow seamlessly from the sensor to analytics software and/or the cab of a tractor.”
“This is a great milestone for Sentera and Dynamic UAV,” says Dan O’Reilly, general manager for Dynamic UAV Solutions. “We were pleased to have been chosen as the exclusive North American distributor for Sentera’s integrated hardware solutions. By seamlessly managing drones and sensor data, then making it sharable and searchable, a commercial UAV user will increase operational efficiencies while driving additional profits to his bottom line.”
Poulson explains why Sentera is uniquely positioned to help dealers help its customers: “Sentera offers entry-level drones with True NDVI sensors, filling the need for precision agriculture customers who are just entering the market and want a simple yet effective tool that still provides a high-quality near-infrared sensing product. For customers familiar with remote sensing technology and looking to employ the latest advancements, the Phoenix 2 fixed-wing and Omni quadrotor drone are available, both capable of live-streaming NDVI video. All offerings interoperate with AgVault and all leading analytics tools. Our dealers offer solutions for every type of user, no matter the scale of operation.”
Sentera’s solutions help growers improve the performance across a variety of fields, from specialty crops like fruits, nuts, potatoes and grapes to commodities like corn, soybeans and sorghum.
Many agronomists and crop consultants need to analyze data from diverse fields and different growers. Universally capturing NDVI data from any crop and using AgVault to analyze, interpret and share the exact same data with relevant stakeholders off the farm improves the decision-making process, increasing efficiencies between the advisor and grower.
As the exclusive distributor of Sentera’s remote sensing technology, Dynamic UAV Solutions works directly with dealers to ensure success. The Dynamic UAV Solutions dealer program includes dealer pricing, dealer training, sales tools, sales support, digital sales collateral, access to training videos, and the option to white-label AgVault software.
