SLANTRANGE launches new product line for precision agriculture

Date:05-06-2016

SLANTRANGE, pioneers of a smarter approach to aerial remote sensing and analytics for agriculture, recently announced the launch of a new product line that will allow growers and agronomists to obtain and process data faster and more efficiently.

The two new sensors, SL2i and SL2p, as well as a new version of SLANTVIEW, the company's proprietary data analytics software, together have four patents pending and will more than double the resolution, data collection rate, and processing efficiency over the prior generation. This will enable customers to cover twice as much area in a flight as the previous generation technology did - and four times as much as conventional multispectral mapping techniques.

The new version of the analytics software, SLANTVIEW, will offer even faster data processing, typically less than five minutes for a 160-acre field, and new data products, including plant population counts, yield potential, and canopy closure.

With the new user interface, customers will more easily access data and streamline their workflow according to individual preferences. The software is tightly integrated with the sensors, which are available in two versions. SL2i is the suggested product for entry-level users while SL2p will offer full multispectral performance for more advanced users.
