CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelinair, Inc., the automated crop intelligence company, announced today it achieved the strongest revenue growth in its history in 2020 and delivered actionable insights that helped growers make thousands of decisions to improve the yield and profits of their farming operations. Core to this growth were new AGMRI product features, including new classes of AI-powered Smart Alerts, powerful collaboration features, and architecture enhancements for performance. Intelinair’s progress was recognized with a listing among Inc. 5000 2020 Honorees of America’s fastest-growing private companies, and its executives were selected to present thought leadership insights at major industry conferences.
“Amidst a challenging year we quadrupled our monitored territory to 4 million acres, analyzed over 70,000 fields, and increased our customer base significantly,” said Al Eisaian, Co-Founder/CEO of Intelinair. “The alerts and insights provided by our AGMRI platform enabled our farmer customers to make more decisions and capture more learnings than ever before, saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars by increasing yield and the profits of their operations.”
With climate change, rising world populations, and volatile crop prices, farmers need actionable crop intelligence to increase yield, save costs, and meet sustainability goals. Farmers nationwide depend on Intelinair’s innovative AGMRI platform features, such as Smart Alerts, for proactive visibility into issues across growers’ operations so they can make better management decisions.
Intelinair’s 2020 highlights include:
- Doubled the number of Smart Alert types to detect specific weed conditions (including resistance), emergence issues, stand counts, replant opportunities, nutrient deficiencies (including nitrogen), and irrigation issues.
- Introduced new visualizations including viewing crop emergence in 3D, region-wide heatmap dashboards, and time-lapse animations of crop health progression with yield risks highlighted through an entire growing season.
- Expanded analytics coverage to specialty crops such as coffee, pineapple, and potatoes.
