GeoVisual Analytics

GeoVisual Analytics continues to deliver specialty crop measurement and analysis tools tailored on a company-confidential basis around the way each grower-processor operates and the crops they grow. With its core foundation built from work with national research agencies such as NASA, USDA, and FFAR, GeoVisual’s data scientists build information focused to help your team tackle what you see as the biggest problems or greatest opportunities. A lean operation funded by family and friends, it is boots-on-the-ground backed by top-notch scientists, working side-by-side with you and organizations you trust like Western Growers, YCEDA, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal State Monterey Bay, and the University of Arizona, to build unique tools that make your best people even better. iFoodDS (iFoodDecisionSciences) has rebranded the combination of iFoodDecisionSciences and HarvestMark as iFoodDS with a new website for the combined solution suite: iFoodDS.com. The company’s experts continue to provide topical insight into food safety and traceability topics on our Knowledge Center at www.ifoodds.com/knowledge-center/blog/, and by teaming with the FDA, Cornell University, United Fresh and others to deliver research and webinars on topics such as COVID protection for food workers, and FDA Rule 204 traceability. Agriculture spraying drones company SkyX (skyx.solutions) completed a series of field trials and demos with Californian vegetable and fruit growers, presented its solution to Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District, and announced its business partnerships with a Missouri-based aerial applicator and a Michigan-based drone company. SWIIM has formed a partnership with WiseConn Equipment & Telemetry. If growers already have, or are considering, WiseConn telemetry for their farming operation, with the flip of a switch, they can add the power of SWIIM’s water balance data easily, without adding new equipment. SWIIM is able to connect with most already-installed brands of commercial irrigation automation equipment in the field, through its on-farm dashboard platform, which allows us to use the data growers already have to provide detailed, multi-dimensional water use data with the system they have in place.
