GreenSight

GreenSight builds autonomous drones that provide aerial intelligence for the agriculture and defense sectors. The drones are outfitted with custom sensors, a proprietary camera system that includes thermal imaging, and machine-learning based image processing capabilities. As they fly, the drones map an area, processing data on pest stress and plant disease, soil moisture and salinity, nutrient deficiency, and more. Golf courses, sports turf facilities, and farmers leverage GreenSight to identify underperforming crops, make better decisions about moisture management and nutrition inputs, reduce irrigation usage and agrochemical applications, optimize planting time, and minimize labor costs.

The company’s end-to-end solution is offered through a robots-as-a-service (RaaS) pricing model: Customers get access to the drones alongside GreenSight’s proprietary software, TurfCloud, which lets them assign tasks and schedule staff based on the actionable intelligence the drones collect. GreenSight remotely manages the drones so customers don’t have to learn to use them. Contracts are seasonal, based on the crop.
