MicaSense Unveils the Next Sensor in the RedEdge Product Line
RedEdge-M: More compact, more flexible, and even more powerful.
MicaSense has released RedEdge-M, the evolution of their rugged, built-to last, professional multispectral sensor, RedEdge. Easily integrated into a wide variety of drones, RedEdge-M enables agricultural enterprises, growers, and researchers to optimize management practices, streamline operations, detect stress and disease early, and capture accurate data for scientific analysis.
RedEdge-M: The sensor that doesnt compromise
The RedEdge-M captures not just the spectral bands required for basic crop health indexes, but also those that generate analytics that are anything but basic. With its low weight, low power requirement, and multiple integration options, the RedEdge-M is one of the most flexible solutions on the market—now in a smaller size and at a lower cost.
Building upon the capabilities that have made RedEdge the industry standard, RedEdge-M offers key benefits such as:
A small form factor to allow for integration with many drone platforms
Simultaneous capture of five discrete spectral bands, including RGB color
Global shutter design for distortion-free results on every platform
Calibrated for precise, repeatable measurements
Expanded input voltage range to handle more integrations without voltage converters
Downwelling Light Sensor and Calibrated Reflectance Panel included
Open APIs and standard formats allow for compatibility with multiple processing platforms
Rugged design with no moving parts, and included storage case.
With RedEdge-M, agricultural companies can generate advanced analytics to inform decisions. Growers can pinpoint disease and stress, scout quickly and effectively, and monitor change over time in their fields. Researchers can rely on RedEdge-M for high quality data to inform phenotyping research and other agricultural studies, and can take advantage of customizable filters for advanced investigations. Drone manufacturers and integrators can offer an industry leading sensor as a fully integrated payload option for use in agricultural applications.
The RedEdge-M is available today through the MicaSense website, or through their drone integration partners including:
Drone Nerds (USA), JEPICO (JPN), Rise Above (AUS), Cybernetech (JPN), MicroDrones (GER), Ferntech (NZL), SOVZOND (RUS), Beijing Golden Way Scientific (CHN), Guangzhou Fumin Measurement & Control Co. (CHN), Globe Flight Aerial Solutions (GER), Sky Flight Robotics (USA), Gaba Hobby (PRY).
