Today we are joined by Product Manager Heather Clair to discuss how Precision AI is disrupting the agricultural industry by taking a dramatically different approach to the traditional land-based high-clearance crop spraying model. Instead, precision.ai uses AI trained drones to target individual crops.
In this episode, Heather shares her background in both farming and commerce, and explains how her in-field experience and insights aid both her and the AI team in the development cycle. We learn about the advantages of drone-based precision spraying, the function of the herbicides that Precision AI’s drones spray onto crops, and the various challenges of creating AI models that can recognize plant variations. Key Points From This Episode:
Tweetables:“Up until now, everybody just went, ‘How do we get more efficient fewer passes?’ But nobody questioned, ‘Are we doing the passes with the right equipment?’” — Heather Clair “ moving from land-based high-clearance sprayers to drone-based precision spraying.” — Heather Clair “I never thought when I was a little farm kid that I would be playing with drones, but it is one of my favorite things to do.” — Heather Clair “Trying to create these AI models that can work on any stage of plant can be a challenge.” — Heather Clair “It's incredible how working with my AI team has opened up my eyes to being able to look at these plants from a very logical standpoint.” — Heather Clair Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Heather Clair on LinkedIn
