Solinftec introduces their newest AgTech scouting robot, powered by artificial intelligence. The automated machine will scan the crops and record their growth rates, plant health the prevalence of any weeds, collecting all this information to allow the grower to make educated decisions about their fields. The robot is suited for farms around 500 acres in size and works best with several types of row crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, canola and many others.

Solinftec will run the new robot at multiple farms, aiming to adapt the technology to the specific needs of the Canadian grower and improve the algorithm for identifying weeds.

This partnership between Solinftec and Planet helps deliver field-level detail to observe spatial variability and ensure data is up to date across the season.

Using these sensors, plus additional sensors from outside partners in some cases, Uptake tracks the performance and usage of combines, carts, trucks, and semis, to name a few, in order to gauge optimal use and also machine performance.
