constellr's thermal intelligence offers a radically better understanding of changing conditions across agriculture and industry.
constellr is pioneering the use of beyond-visual imaging technology to assess vegetation, soil health and industrial monitoring at an unprecedented level with our own satellites. We enable globally scalable, high-precision smart farming services, supporting global food security in a time of climate change.
constellr's thermal intelligence offers a radically better understanding of changing conditions across agriculture and industry.
Measuring rather than modelling change leads to earlier and more effective mitigation.
Transparent data on crop stress at field level drives highly effective supply chains.
Ability to measure temperature-related risk at scale prevents major economic risk and safety issues.
From rail lines to power and pipelines, temperature variations impact infrastructural integrity and reduce function. Remote infrared measurements enable customers to monitor sensitive infrastructure day and night.
Whole chains of supply, logistics and trade are stimulated or disrupted by changes at industrial plant level. Understanding changing temperature conditions opens up the possibility to detect hazard risk, mitigate operational anomalies or quantify and manage economic activity.
celestR is constellr's Land Surface Temperature (LST) product, delivering the most accurate imagery currently available on the market. celestR offers spatially harmonized data from constellr's own and public remote sensing thermal infrared instruments.
Technical Insights:
Detecting crop stress early is critical for the effective and timely mitigation of yield loss. Using evapotranspiration and land surface temperature data to monitor early stress symptoms across areas of productive crops provide the basis for the effective application of fungicides and biological crop protection
Different crop types respond variously to different stress conditions. Understanding the optimal balance between crop input and stress resilience in the development of hybrids is enhanced with the use of evapotranspiration data to determine suitability for alternative soil types and conditions
constellr's global evapotranspiration (ET) database provides algorithms based on our proprietary temperature data to help detect field level ET variability. Our product provides a more cost effective and efficient method of ET monitoring than traditional in-field methods, contributing to improved irrigation management and scalable measurement of actual water usage.
Detecting and predicting water stress at the field level.
Technical Insights:
When assessing the environmental impact of their crop suppliers, trading companies face many challenges in gathering data to quantify and report against ESG targets. The ability to measure soil organic carbon using a combination of stratified sampling and an Organic Carbon Stock (OCS) value estimate reduces high field data acquisition costs, is highly scalable and quickly compares and prioritise areas for carbon sequestration projects.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is considered an efficient and actionable solution for the reduction of atmospheric CO2, whilst at the same time improving chemical, physical, and biological soil characteristics. Carbon credits provide an incentive to help farmers overcome the perceived risks of adopting SOC-enhancing practices. The measurement and monitoring of SOC requires thorough soil sampling and analysis, generating costs which limit the return on investment for companies generating these credits. Our product socR provides a fast and highly scalable solution to guide and optimize soil sampling for SOC monitoring.
