In the last article, we discussed Drone Analytics in the Agriculture field. Check it out!
This article provides a technical yet farmer-friendly comparison of Solvi and Agremo, helping you understand which tool might fit your needs and encouraging you to try these modern solutions for crop analysis and yield predictions.
Introduction
Drone analytics can turn aerial imagery into actionable farm insights. Solvi and Agremo are two leading platforms, both work with DJI drones but serve slightly different needs.
They can produce field maps (like NDVI plant health maps, weed hotspot maps, plant counts, and more) to help improve yields and efficiency. However, they differ in their approach and strengths.
Key Differences at a Glance
Solvi – Fast, Flexible, Research-Friendly
Workflow: Upload images → process → interact with results.
Solvi offers a Real-time analytics tool. It involves plant counts (via PlantAI™), custom AI training for unique crops, and plot-level trial analysis.
Users upload drone images to Solvi’s cloud, which then quickly stitches the photos into an orthomosaic map and runs analyses. Processing is fast – imagery is typically converted into accurate maps within 30–60 minutes of upload solvi.ag . Solvi emphasizes giving agronomists direct control: with its PlantAI feature, you can perform your own plant counts or detect weeds in the same day (often an hour or two after flying, depending on field size). The platform originated in research and field trial applications, so it offers fine-grained analysis (e.g. per-plot metrics for trials) and even allows training custom AI models for unique crops solvi.ag .
In short, Solvi’s workflow is interactive and on-demand – you collect imagery and get results back immediately, which is valuable for timely scouting and decision-making.
Agremo – Farmer-Focused
Workflow: Upload images → request analysis → receive ready-to-use reports.
Agremo is more like an all-in-one farming service. It can handle everything from image stitching to analysis to reporting. Agremo offers multiple product modules, for instance,
Crop Monitoring (for farmers and crop advisors), and
Field Trials (for researchers)
Agremo’s focus is broad-scale farm management – it covers standard use-cases like stand counts, yield estimates, weed zone maps, plant stress detection, and even direct “prescription” maps for variable-rate applications.
They all operate through a unified web app. A key difference is that many of Agremo’s advanced analytics are delivered as reports on a request basis. After uploading your mapped images and selecting an analysis, you often wait up to 1–2 days to receive the results. This slower turnaround reflects that Agremo’s team or algorithms are processing the data with quality checks, and then providing a polished PDF report, shapefiles, and other outputs. The advantage is that the results are thorough and ready to use, with minimal effort from the user.
In summary, Agremo’s workflow feels more “send and receive”, you request an analysis and get a professional report a bit later, making it convenient for busy growers who want actionable insights without tinkering with software.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose Agremo if you operate DJI Agras drones, need compliance-ready spray maps, and prefer quick, ready-to-use reports.
Choose Solvi if you run research trials, work with specialty crops, or need same-day, customizable analytics.
Note: DFH is exploring offering Agremo as a reseller to make it more accessible locally, more information and pricing will be available closer to the date. Keep an eye out for our updates.
