Our Story
Agricultural Monitoring.
Solar-Powered Field AI with Drone Analytics.
Offline-first, solar-powered edge AI architecture for crop disease detection, precision irrigation, yield prediction, and drone-based NDVI analytics. Designed for India’s 150M+ farming households — works without grid power or broadband.
Agricultural Monitoring — System Architecture
Solar-powered field nodes capture multispectral and RGB imagery for crop disease detection, pest identification, and soil moisture inference. A farm hub (per cluster of 10–20 plots) aggregates data via LoRaWAN, runs irrigation scheduling algorithms, and uploads summaries via 4G when available. A drone AI station processes NDVI and orthomosaic data for yield prediction and crop health mapping across the entire farm.
How the tiers connect
Tier 1 — Field Nodes
Solar-powered AI nodes at each plot run disease detection models on captured images. Results are transmitted to the farm hub via LoRaWAN (low-power, long-range radio) — no Wi-Fi or cellular needed at the field level. Nodes operate autonomously for months.
Tier 2 — Farm Hub
The hub aggregates data from 10–20 field nodes, runs irrigation scheduling, generates farmer advisories (SMS/WhatsApp), and syncs summary data to the cloud via 4G. It also serves as the LoRaWAN gateway and local data archive.
Tier 3 — Drone AI Station
Processes drone survey data (multispectral + RGB) into NDVI maps, yield estimates, and crop health reports. This is the most compute-intensive tier — the AGX Orin processes a 200-acre survey in under 30 minutes.
