Agriculture & Farming Video Analytics

Farmers have to monitor and optimize dozens of human and machine-led processes across vast acreages. So making incremental improvements can mean big savings. Analyze available video feeds to identify inefficient patterns and tweak processes accordingly: Use heat mapping to track and optimize the routes of autonomous farming vehicles like smart tractors and agribots, or perfect milking, feeding and cleaning schedules. Monitor equipment usage to determine when predictive maintenance is required, reducing the likelihood of break-downs and lost productivity. And, optimize irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide strategies to driven-down costs and maximize yields.

The agricultural industry is at the forefront of the IOT movement. Harness feeds from all available video sources – security cameras, drones, dash-cam or onboard footage from driverless farming vehicles – to produce the most intelligence insights possible from your computer vision efforts. Then, integrate video analytics data with third-party information – from in-ground sensors and thermal-sensing cameras, to infrared imagery and core farm management systems – to reveal untapped correlations. Detect overheating agricultural equipment and prevent ruptures or fires. Optimize supply chain timings to ensure more of your best produce makes it to market. And, conduct eerily accurate crop simulation modeling: Combine your video analytics efforts with crop management data, weather and soil information to determine the optimal practices needed to drive maximum yields – from planting schedules to fertilizer mixes.

Farming is a margins-based business, often relying on optimal productivity to remain profitable. So, do more to safeguard your business using your existing cameras: Apply AI smarts to standard commodity hardware to give your people, assets and infrastructure the protection they need. Enjoy always-on perimeter and site monitoring that triggers alerts when any ingress is detected. Deter thieves and reduce the likelihood of crime impacting operations. Also analyze incidents of theft, vandalism or intrusion over time to pinpoint patterns or adjust security mechanisms accordingly. Farming and agriculture centers are high-traffic operations. Identify and track all third-party traffic going in and out of your sites to reduce liability by capturing incidents that contravene compliance standards or result in damages.

Harness VisualCortex’s event triggers to receive automated notifications about time-sensitive incidents. Get the up-to-the-moment information you need to act fast in case of emergency – whether it’s saving crops from fire or animal intrusion, or protecting your produce and equipment from would-be burglars. Identify trespassers with motion detection and deter them by sending automated alerts to operational systems that trigger alarms, spotlights and dispatch security personnel. And, report hazards as they happen – such as tractor rollovers and machine malfunctions – to ensure emergency responses are taken.
