Zenvus Crop Sensors: From Idea to Scale

0

Zenvus is an intelligent solution for farms that uses proprietary electronics sensors to collect soil data like moisture, nutrients, pH etc and send them to a cloud server via GSM, satellite or Wifi. Algorithms in the server analyze the data and advice farmers on farming. As the crops grow, the system deploys special cameras to build vegetative health for drought stress, pest and diseases. Our system has the capability to tell a farm what, how, and when to farm. It has in-built GPS, compass and XL making it possible for a farmer to map the boundaries of his/her farm which could be useful during loan and insurance applications.

The following are some photos from Zenvus which was funded by the USAID. Zenvus will activate many solutions like agro-lending, agro-insurance, etc early next year as it onboards farmers in the platform. You can learn a lot on the artificial intellgience behind the Zenvus zMarkets engine here.

Our models ensure that we continuously improve farm productivity by tracking yield and total inputs. That is why zManager, our electronic farm farm diary is mandatory for all Zenvus users.

Zenvus Services

zManager – zManager is an electronic farm diary that helps Zenvus farmers record all phases of farming from planting through harvest to sales. It keeps all records – financial, staff, tools, etc in one secured place,

zPrices  – zPrices empowers rural Zenvus farmers with real-time produce prices across major cities. It provides farmers with data to effectively negotiate prices with merchants who normally pay them little.

zCapital – zCapital helps Zenvus farmers raise capital (loan or equity) by providing independent farm data from our sensors to help banks and investors evaluate overall profitability of farms.

zCrowdfund – zCrowdfund helps Zenvus farmers crowdfund capital from local donors who they can deliver produce after harvest. Our sensors validate these farms providing partners with confidence.

zInsure – zInsure helps Zenvus farmers insure their farms by providing independent farm data from our sensors to insurers. This helps them evaluate the risks based on actual farm data.

zMarkets – zMarket provides a platform for Zenvus farmers to sell their produce. It is an avenue to expand their markets by removing geographic limitations. Farmers list their harvest days and buyers connect.

Uber is exploring the use of flying cars

0

Uber is exploring the use of flying cars. It predicts that “vertical take-off and landing” vehicles “will be an affordable form of daily transportation for the masses.”

Uber Technologies Inc., still in the midst of trying to remake transportation on the ground, is exploring the viability of an aircraft that can take off and land vertically for city use. The ride-hailing giant published a 98-page whitepaper outlining its research titled “Fast-Forwarding to a Future of On-Demand Urban Air Transportation.”

While Uber isn’t planning to build its concept for a helicopter-like vehicle, the San Francisco startup said it would organize a conference to discuss the development of what it calls VTOL, or an aircraft for vertical takeoff and landing. It refers to the nascent flying-car program as Uber Elevate.

Diverging fortunes at Alphabet and Amazon. Google’s parent company beat revenue and profit expectations on the strength of its core search and YouTube businesses, sending shares up modestly. Amazon, on the other hand, fell short of what analysts were expecting, despite growth in its cloud computing unit, sending shares down 5%.

Alphabet reported that revenue hit $22.45 billion during the quarter, a 20% increase from a year earlier, in some part due to advertising buys for the upcoming US presidential election, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai. The results beat analyst estimates of $22.05 billion for the quarter.

amazon

For Amazon, the e-commerce giant’s cloud-computing division continued to grow at a healthy clip in the third quarter, up 55% from a year earlier, according to results released today. Over the last four quarters, the segment has generated $11.1 billion in revenue, though its quarterly growth has been slowing year-on-year since 2015.
