PRODUCT DESCRIPTION | ||||||||||
With the increase of weather extremes and the pressure on agricultural production it is necessary to have near real time (NRT) monitoring and mapping of agricultural production, vegetation change and environmental conditions within the risk portfolio of the agricultural underwriter. The availability of NRT data in high to very high resolution allows to respond quickly and accurately to vegetation change with field-level detail and allows agronomists to identify possible issues at early stages to decide on further treatment of the crop with required inputs, and track further crop’s vegetation health. By providing an API access, an integration of field imagery into customer’s apps, analytics, and workflows is ensured. NRT data services include high to very high spatial resolution satellite data and derived products. Sentinel mission data can be provided within 2 to 5 days while data from various commercial third-party service providers (e.g. Planet, DigitalGlobe, Airbus, etc.) are available daily. Derived products and services are provided by commercial EO service providers in NRT to date when the satellite image is acquired. NRT information enables detailed insights across regional and local level daily. The NRT Service is a baseline for all offered services and products in this portfolio providing accurate and timely information, especially for underwriting, loss assessment and claim management. | ||||||||||
