FluroSat's agronomic analytics engine helps agronomists and farmers to assess plant health, detect crop stress and direct input applications - all at a scale and accuracy never before possible thanks to the automation of mundane data processing and synthesis of the insights.

Our agronomy customers help farmers to understand the past, act in the present and predict the future, but they can't be everywhere at once. FluroSat's mission is to scale their knowledge and science in a powerful, simple-to-use computing platform that keeps farms on track, in real-time.
