Sentera is a remote sensing company specializing in unmanned aircraft, high-precision sensors and data management analysis software. While active in most industries where drones are used, Sentera plays an important role in solving world hunger through precision-sensing in agriculture.
Sentera sensors fly over farm fields, measuring things like nitrogen levels or moisture levels in soil or identifying stressed areas. Data are managed at the field edge through Sentera software. The result is better yields using fewer inputs.
Sentera is active in mobile communications, as well. Sentera inspection drones provide high-resolution images of a tower while the operator stays safely on the ground.
With customers on five continents and in over 30 countries, Sentera's products are truly making a global impact.
