SLANTRANGE Expands Agricultural Drone Technology to International Markets
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) August 01, 2016 -- SLANTRANGE, a leading provider of next-generation drone-based remote sensing and analytics systems for agriculture, today announced partnerships with new distributors in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Panama, and Colombia.
“Global demand is surging for precision agriculture tools that can help farmers make the most of their resources,” said Mike Ritter, CEO of SLANTRANGE. “Until now however, farmers in regions of the world with limited internet connectivity or without expensive computing resources have been unable to benefit from many of the recent advances in digital agriculture. Our technology eliminates those needs, and our new partners are extending its reach to growers around the world who can most benefit from its use.”
SLANTRANGE provides sensor and analytics systems for use on drone aircraft which measure a range of conditions, such as crop and weed densities, stress from pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and dehydration. The analytics tools operate with minimal computing resources and in the absence of network access to deliver actionable and highly time-sensitive insights to growers within minutes. With these precision agriculture technologies, growers can make superior farming decisions that improve yields while reducing input costs and waste.
“We take pride in providing our customers with technology that maximizes our value proposition,” said Chantal Yazbek, CEO of agriSig, SLANTRANGE’s exclusive distribution and service partner in South Africa. “Many of our clients farm in areas with no practical access to cloud-based data services. SLANTRANGE’s technology is able to instantly deliver valuable new crop metrics even to the most remote regions – and that will have a real impact on farming productivity and ROI.”
“SLANTRANGE’s workflows enable 4X faster data collection than similar agriculture drone/sensor technologies. This is extremely important for our clients, who are often service providers looking to maximize their area coverage per day”, said Markus Weber, President of LandView, SLANTRANGE’s distributor in Edmonton, Alberta.
