About Sentera

Sentera operates at the intersection of agriculture and technology, providing data analytics and remote sensing solutions to drive informed decision-making in farming. Founded in 2014 by Eric Taipale, Greg Emerick, and Kris Poulson, the company emerged when the founding team's business unit within a larger corporation was relocated, and they decided to leverage their collective expertise in remote sensing, AI, and drones to address data scarcity in agriculture.

Read full description

The company's business model is centered on a subscription-based service for its core software platform, FieldAgent. This platform integrates data from a variety of sources, including proprietary drone sensors, satellites, weather stations, and in-field equipment, to deliver actionable insights. Sentera serves a diverse client base, including farmers, agronomists, crop consultants, and enterprise-level agriscience companies, operating in over 45 countries. Revenue is generated through tiered subscription packages for the FieldAgent platform and the sale of its proprietary hardware, such as high-resolution RGB, thermal, and multispectral sensors like the 6X and 65R models.

Sentera's main offering, the FieldAgent platform, is a comprehensive data management and analytics tool accessible via web, mobile, and desktop. It provides a suite of analytics products that address key agronomic challenges. These include stand count and uniformity analysis for replant decisions, weed pressure mapping for targeted herbicide application (SmartScript™ Weeds), crop health monitoring using indices like NDVI, and tassel counts for yield forecasting. By delivering detailed, plant-level measurements and field-scale mosaics, the platform enables users to optimize input usage, enhance scouting efficiency, and improve overall crop performance. Sentera's technology integrates with major digital agriculture platforms, including the John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView, ensuring seamless data flow into existing workflows. The company's focus on developing a full-stack solution, combining proprietary sensors with advanced analytics, allows it to provide a uniquely integrated and powerful system for its clients.
