Welcome to Agerpoint
Agerpoint is reshaping how agriculture and nature field data is captured, analyzed and managed. Building upon a decade of innovation and a deep IP portfolio, Agerpoint today brings technology to customers across agriculture, restoration and conservation using smartphones and tablets to affordably acquire ground truth data and uses automated analytics to extract plant measurements and insights. Combined with other 3rd party data, this digital twin platform for crops and forests equips public and private sector organizations with unprecedented transparency across the food supply chain and protected natural environments.
The Agerpoint Capture mobile application allows users to capture 3D models of crops and trees via a smartphone or tablet, upload models to the cloud to assess health, yield, species, biomass, and more. Customers can then derive insights from these models with Agerpoint Cloud, a spatial data platform that leverages machine learning for detailed plant-level insights.
