CropMetrics Selects Iteris ClearAg for Enhanced Irrigation Management
ClearAg Custom Field Modeling Data Now Available to Growers Across U.S. Irrigated Acres
Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for transportation and agriculture, and CropMetrics, a leader in precision irrigation management, have announced the addition of Iteris ClearAg® smart content to CropMetrics' irrigation management platform.
CropMetrics users, which include farmers and growers across the Central Plains and throughout the U.S., will now be able to access hyperlocal custom field modeling information based on Iteris' state-of-the-science soil and weather data sets.
"We look forward to driving further value for CropMetrics' dealers, other partners and grower customers with ClearAg's hyperlocal custom field modeling," said Nick Emanuel, founder and chief technology officer of CropMetrics. "Iteris' ClearAg modeling technology enables our users across the Central Plains and throughout the U.S. to help with irrigation management and scheduling. We are excited that we can further strengthen our data-driven platform, allowing growers even more tools to optimize their irrigation practices."
"We are excited to provide a valuable subset of ClearAg's environmental and atmospheric content on a software-as-a-service basis to CropMetrics users throughout the U.S. irrigated acres," said Jim Chambers, senior vice president and general manager, Agriculture and Weather Analytics at Iteris. "By integrating ClearAg's smart content, CropMetrics can now offer effective, accurate irrigation management and scheduling that complements its in-field data collection."

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services
Although GNSS offers ubiquitous coverage worldwide, its accuracy can be hindered in some situations - signals can be attenuated by heavy vegetation, for example, or obstructed by tall buildings in dense urban canyons. This results in signals being received indirectly or via the multipath effect, leading to inaccuracy, or even blocked entirely. Unimpeded GNSS positioning in all real world scenarios is therefore unrealistic - creating a need for supporting technologies, such as real time kinematic (RTK) positioning and dead reckoning, to enable centimeter-accuracy for newer mass-market IoT devices.
