The initial focus of Gamaya CaneFit service is on Brazil, where it provides a tailored solution
for sugarcane growers and includes a suit of analytical products
such as planting efficiency analysis and weeds detection. CaneFit
is available through a user-friendly web interface, as well as API
that can be integrated with existing farm management software. The
actionable maps are delivered throughout the different stages of
cultivation and include detailed statistics designed to support
optimal and timely decisions. All fields can be compared, analysed
and prioritized for specific agronomical operations. Resulting maps
can be exported in industry standard computer file formats
compatible with CAD and most field machinery software.
The analysis of drone imagery performed by Gamaya is fully
automated, reliable and is delivered within 48 hours. The accuracy
of detection of planting gaps is 95%. CaneFit solution helps
industrial sugarcane growers to better predict and manage risks
associated with planting failures, and implement a secondary
replanting where it's needed to substantially increase production
efficiency. An increase of up to 10% of yield can be expected for
all subsequent growing seasons, assuming that 50% of the sugarcane
planting failures can be addressed by a sugarcane grower through a
secondary replanting.
Gamaya proposes three commercial packages: Demo, Basic and
Professional. The demo package allows to test the solution for
planting gaps for free on an area of maximum 2'000 ha during 4
months, subject to a condition that drone imaging is carried out
and paid by the client. Basic and professional packages include
additional products, such as detection of weeds and yield
prediction, both tailored specifically for sugarcane in
Brazil. Several products require a
customization to reflect the methodology, used by a particular
client. Gamaya uses a combination of space-borne and drone-based
imaging to deliver products. Further detailed information about the
CaneFit solution and commercial packages can be found in English
and in Portuguese.
