Earth Observation Low Orbit for Agriculture

Currently, Farm Technologies provides an IoT system that advises farmers on timing and quantity of irrigation to be provided to their crops. The EOLO project is aimed at introducing advanced Earth Observation data processing expertise, especially in applying innovative and automatic techniques based on Neural Networks, for the monitoring of crops and soil. This is to be integrated with a meteorological local now-casting service, to help farmers preserve their crops from severe and sudden storm events with rapid evolution. This intelligence is also integrated with remotely controlled smart hydro-valves, to enable the automation of irrigation systems. EOLO is a service to support agronomists and corn growers in their daily decisions about irrigation and phytosanitary treatments, with the goal to save costs related to water, energy costs and treatments.
