About us
Remote sensing offers significant opportunities to transform agricultural production systems today. Developing these technologies to ensure they deliver measurable benefits to growers involves ongoing collaboration between industry, agricultural agencies and researchers.
This centre is about bringing these capabilities together to address industry priorities, and providing the scientific expertise necessary to validate their effectiveness on-farm.
Industry solutions
Based on their accuracy to date, we have rolled out the model to most of our operations globally. Westfalia is looking forward to working with the AARSC team in evaluation of the UNE AARSC approach over additional growing seasons and using the prediction model on other farms of the company. We strongly recommend AARSC as a reliable partner for the execution of any assignment aligned to their expertise and experience related to the use of time series prediction model to forecast crop yields.
Theo Bekker, Operations Manager, Westfalia FruitWe have got very good data for the last four years and three out of the last four years provided an accuracy of 97 per cent or better [...] It also identifies the poor yielding areas and this has been useful in the Bundaberg region, particularly in the last couple of years, with the floods that we have had.
Gavin Lerch, Bundaberg Sugar Grower ServicesThis imagery gives us a pretty good correlated measure of the maturity of the crop under the ground, so that is a really powerful tool for a grower. Potentially a farmer could go in, based on this map, and just harvest particular areas that are at their optimal maturity and then leave others until they become fully mature.
