Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and
insights about Earth, announced that it has signed an expansion
with their partner Abelio, a French technology company offering
smart farming solutions. Abelio leverages the Planet Insights
Platform and the company’s PlanetScope satellite data to enhance
their digital agriculture solutions. Through this expansion, Abelio
will have access to agricultural data across France – nearly three
times the amount of Planet data that it previously integrated into
its solutions in 2023.
Abelio’s solutions apply its powerful algorithms and AI models
on top of Planet satellite data to generate time-sensitive insights
for precision farming. By accessing the Planet Insights Platform,
Abelio has been able to scale its solutions and derive satellite
data from PlanetScope and Sentinel-2 data streams. Through the
Planet Insights Platform, Abelio can streamline its data analysis
processes and efficiently train its machine learning models based
on near-real-time satellite data. With an API which pulls Abelio’s
customer’s plots quickly and easily into its Planet Insights
Platform workspace, Abelio has reported that it has fully automated
elements of its service, significantly reducing development time
and costs.
“We are very excited by this expansion with Abelio. With
increased access to our satellite data, they can continue to
strengthen their models and offer broader locations for customers,”
said Planet President Ashley Johnson. “With growing food demands
and increased sustainability regulations, having advanced solutions
for precision agriculture is critical for the 21st century.”
With Planet’s data and services, Abelio has been able to better
inform its solution for nitrogen fertilizer management, enabling
its customers to focus on efficient nutrient distribution. Notably,
Abelio’s nitrogen solution has already helped farmers reduce
nitrogen use by 5-10% on average. With this data-informed solution,
farmers can both enhance profitability and ensure local
sustainability. Now, by expanding their data access, Abelio is also
strengthening its solutions for irrigation management, crop
monitoring, disease detection, and weed detection.
“We have a farmer-first approach at Abelio, and that means that
we also look to deliver the most timely and detailed data into our
agronomic solutions,” said Samuel Bonnard, Head of International
Business Development at Abelio. “Our work with Planet has let us
smoothly analyze valuable near-real-time data streams and scale our
solutions just over a few years.”
Abelio has worked with Planet data and products since 2018,
building their solutions with the Planet Insights Platform
technology.
