FluroSat develops FluroViewer, a decision‑support platform that ingests hyperspectral imagery from satellites, drones and aerial platforms to diagnose crop health and predict disease. The platform produces nitrogen maps, fertilizer prescription maps and pinpoints sampling locations for agronomists; growers pay a per‑hectare fee that can include drone and satellite imagery with extra charges for aerial imagery. FluroSat says its analytics can predict disease five to seven days before it is visible and can help reduce fertilizer use by about 30%. Customers can integrate FluroViewer outputs with other farm management software to incorporate historical data and evaluate on‑farm experiments at sub‑paddock level. In its first year the company generated A$200k in revenue monitoring 80 farms, with clients including Landmark. FluroSat plans to expand its Australian customer base and scale commercial operations to the US after an initial California trial, with further US cotton trials scheduled to begin in May.
