Field sensing & actuation
IoT Sensor Networks Low-cost, low-power sensors that stream live field data, hour by hour.
Soil moisture probes, weather stations, and water-level sensors connected over LoRa and cellular backhaul. Built to survive real field conditions on smallholder budgets, they form the data backbone of every smartagri system.

UAV Platforms Drones that map, scout, and treat fields from above.
Fixed-wing and VTOL platforms flying programmed missions over fields and estates. A twenty-minute flight produces imagery that would take days to gather on foot. They are the eyes of our precision agriculture work.
Key benefits
Common applications

Multispectral Imaging Seeing crop stress days before the human eye can.
Cameras that capture near-infrared and red-edge bands alongside visible light. Healthy vegetation reflects these bands strongly, so stress, disease, and nutrient problems show up in the data long before symptoms are visible.
Key benefits
Common applications
Plant health maps Yield estimation Variable-rate input

Field sensing & actuation
Hyperspectral Sensing Hundreds of spectral bands for lab-grade plant analysis.
Where multispectral sees a handful of bands, hyperspectral sees hundreds, enough to estimate chlorophyll, nutrient status, and physiological responses non-destructively, from plant factories to field samples.
Key benefits
Common applications
Microgreens monitoring Nutrient estimation Quality grading

Computer Vision Models that read leaves, count fruit, and flag disease.
Deep-learning vision models trained on field imagery to detect blight, rust, and pest damage, count plants and fruit, and grade produce, turning ordinary cameras into expert scouts that never tire.

Smart Irrigation Control Water delivered exactly when and where crops ask for it.
Sensor-driven valves and pumps that irrigate on plant demand instead of fixed timers (from drip systems and sprinklers to modernized canal networks), cutting water use while protecting yield.
Key benefits
Common applications
Automated scheduling Canal telemetry Sprinkler control
Connected technologies
Powers these research areas
Data & intelligence
Geospatial Analytics Every measurement on the map, every decision per plot.
Stitching drone orthomosaics, satellite imagery, and sensor locations into per-plot maps. Geospatial analysis turns scattered measurements into zone maps that guide scouting, treatment, and planning.
Key benefits
Common applications
Orthomosaic mapping Zone management Estate planning
Connected technologies
Powers these research areas
Data & intelligence
Weather & Climate Modeling Seasonal outlooks tuned to smallholder decisions.
Downscaled forecasts and seasonal climate outlooks built with partners like BMKG, answering the questions farmers actually ask: what to plant, when to plant, and how to hedge a late monsoon.
Key benefits
Common applications
Planting calendars Drought early warning Risk advisories

Decision Support Systems Dashboards that end in a decision, not a dataset.
The layer farmers and cooperatives actually touch: dashboards and advisories that fuse everything above into plain recommendations: which plot to scout first, when to irrigate, what to expect at harvest.
Key benefits
Common applications
Farm dashboards Advisory messages Cooperative reporting
