The technology the agricultural industry has come to depend on is now more durable and accurate than ever before. There is no question agricultural companies, service providers and academics in the industry need reliable, accurate, precision perfect and, most importantly, meaningful data. The MicaSense RedEdge-MX provides this and more.
Changing the way agricultural organisations are managing their crop health and vigour as well as monitoring water quality, the RedEdge-MX is globally field-proven and simple to operate. Efficient, fast and accurate, a single pass can secure more information than days, indeed weeks, of manual searching and testing. With a five narrow spectral band, it can generate plant health indexes and RGB (colour) images from one flight including Chlorophyll Map, NDVI Layer, Digital Surface Model and RGB Image. Designed for easy and flexible integration, it is calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements and can operate in temperatures up to 50℃.
