Sentera FieldAgent
Precise agronomic analytics platform for crop insights
Description
Sentera FieldAgent is an agronomic analytics platform that turns drone-based crop imagery into actionable field insights for scouting, crop monitoring, and agronomic decision-making. The solution helps users identify variability and problem zones early and supports more targeted decisions for replanting, fertilization, irrigation, weed pressure mapping, and field trials.
Technology
Sentera FieldAgent is a cloud-based web, mobile and desktop application that processes high-resolution imagery and field data from drones, satellites, and weather feeds. The system provides advanced field insights with crop and field imaging for mosaics and elevation maps to show crop condition, weed distribution and topography. The system tracks development with crop monitoring to calculate stand and tassel counts, NDVI, crop health and uniformity. For research and development, the platform offers plot and production analytics such as canopy cover, height, anomalies and digital phenotyping.
Target
The solution mainly serves medium and large farms, cooperatives, and farm advisors. Research institutions, seed and crop protection companies use the tool for trials, phenotyping, and seed production monitoring.
Business model
The FieldAgent platform works on a paid annual license model offering different packages: Scout package costs USD 499 per year, Advisor package costs USD 999 per year, Advanced package costs USD 3999 per year, while Enterprise package is quote based. Sentera also generates revenue from compatible sensors and drone solutions.
Impact
Sentera indicates that FieldAgent helps agronomic teams scout faster and more consistently. As reported by the company, FieldAgent can deliver near real-time analytics in the mobile app while the drone is still in flight, and can cover around 700 acres per hour at roughly 97 percent accuracy, providing substantially more measurements than manual field checks and reducing the risk of undetected crop issues.
