One of the analytical tools that leading companies use to gather knowledge is heat maps. By creating a graphical representation of their data, new insights emerge, providing companies with the information they need to adapt their strategies and maximize their profits.
Heat maps measure the density of data in a given area. By representing density with colors, heat map data easily identifies the areas where information is most prevalent.
The POI characterization through Big Data has become more frequent as it allows the implementation of strategies and solutions within the business sectors.
The variety of solutions based on location intelligence and zone characterization rely on efficient POI analysis, which benefits any type of business.
Geolocation systems and Big Data turn data into information that farmers and land managers can use to make more informed and timely decisions to increase productivity.
Sensors located in fields, tractors and on satellites high above farms are constantly collecting data.
Geolocation systems and Big Data are able to convert this data into information that agricultural companies can use to make more informed and timely decisions, increasing productivity, allowing to collect information on soil and plant needs to apply treatments that increase agricultural production, managing costly resources such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
