Arable Mark 3: Smarter, Tougher and More Powerful in Every Sense At the heart of Arable's next-generation crop intelligence platform is the Mark 3, an in-field sensing and communication device that uniquely measures the weather, plant, soil and irrigation flow all in one simple, reliable system. Arable, in partnership with award-winning Bould Design-famous for the Nest thermostat-designed the Mark 3 with major advances in user experience, plant and environmental sensing, connectivity and ruggedness.
Arable Vision: New Field Insights from the Palm of Your Hand Using the Mark 3's new integrated 5MP camera, Arable Vision provides a daily high-resolution image of the crop and puts that image in context of what was happening in the field environment before, during and after the image was taken. Users are able to tag, share and add notes to the images, further strengthening team-wide collaboration and facilitating quick problem resolution. A real-time view of the crop allows for fewer trips to the field, rapid identification of issues that compromise yield and quality, optimized timing of field work, as well as continuous phenotyping. The result is reduced risk, cost savings and maximized use of resources. In addition, having a continuous visual record of the crop through the season provides the ability to better assess what drove outcomes at the end of the season. These records can be used to support other needs for verification in insurance, carbon programs, traceability and the food supply chain. "With the addition of Mark 3 and Arable Vision, we are proud to accelerate the future of digital agriculture with the most advanced crop intelligence solution in the world," said Jim Ethington, CEO of Arable. "These latest innovations put more power in the hands of our customers to create smarter and more efficient operations, be proactive in the face of risk and uncertainty, meet sustainability goals and build a resilient food system."
