Product Specification

Product Name:Permanent Crop Project Setup
Product SKU:71400-00

Product Overview

Description

Permanent Crop Project Setup enables permanent crop analytics by creating required project data layers including field layout, ensuring data capture requirements are met, and establishing a project management team. The field layout spatial file is used to enable data capture upload to and ordering analytics from FieldAgent across multiple image capture dates. Permanent Crop Project Setup is required for each field that subsequent data processing will be performed on.

Requirements

General Requirements

  • "Project Kick-Off Form" completed at least 30 days prior to project start date
  • All "Field Boundary Information" provided
  • All "Ground Control Point Installation" requirements fulfilled
  • All "Integrated Project Team and Program Management" members identified
  • Requires FieldAgent Enterprise License (61006-##) or Enterprise Analytics Upload/Export Surcharge (71010-09)

Project Kick-Off Form

At least 30 days prior to project start date (i.e. prior to any data capture or processing), Customer will fill out a Project Tracker document provided by Sentera. The Project Tracker is typically a spreadsheet shared between Customer and Sentera listing all planned fields and flight details that can be updated during the course of the project.

Field Boundary Information

Customer will provide field boundary information to Sentera so that field boundaries can be created in FieldAgent.

Field Size Requirement

All field boundaries used for Permanent Crop analytics must be less than 40 acres in size. If a customer submits an individual field greater than 40 acres in size, it will be sub-divided into fields of less than or equal to 40 acres prior to data processing, and each sub-divided field will require an individual Permanent Crop Project Setup (71400-00).

Ground Control Point Installation

If the project requires ground control points (GCPs), then GCPs must be installed by either Sentera or Customer using Flight Services Ground Control Point Installation (71007-04)

Integrated Project Team and Program Management

Sentera is experienced in delivering complex projects for its Customers using best practices in project management and execution, including the formation of a dedicated Integrated Project Team to ensure project success through regular status and update meetings.

Sentera proposes an Integrated Project Team to execute this project with team member assignments including:

  • Sentera Project Manager
  • Customer Project Lead
  • Customer Field Supervisors or Technicians (point of contact for each site)

The Sentera project manager will provide overall management and coordination for Sentera’s effort on this project. The Sentera project manager will work directly with the customer’s assigned project lead(s).

After an initial kick-off meeting, short weekly or bi-weekly status calls will be held by the integrated project team leading up to and during key phases of the project. This ensures project success through scheduling data collections to match conditions on the ground and provide useful feedback throughout the course of the project. Project schedules will be updated throughout the project duration.
