Well, sure, infrared images have always been a useful decision support tool for farmers and vineyard managers. Growers use the infrared images (typically represented as NDVI data) to understand the variation in canopy density in vineyard blocks and assess any impact this may have on crop quality and yield.
The introduction of the iCropTrak software for the Apple iPad platform transforms the way farming companies collect and manage data in the field. The system provides users with unlimited customization capability to support data capture forms for every function. The interface marries database technology and farm maps together to create a highly visual and completely intuitive user experience. iCropTrak does not require a real-time internet connection – users access data in a database on the device to review historic information, gather new data, run map based reports and keep everyone in the organization informed.
The Apple iPad has revolutionized field operations data management. With the instant on capability, perfect screen size and large storage capability, users at last have the tools they need to take their office with them into the field.
