Description
FMC Corporation used the Databricks Data + AI Platform to unify fragmented data sources and streamline ML model development for its Arc farm intelligence app, which combines geospatial and weather data with vision-enabled sensor counts from pest traps to help growers anticipate insect infestations. The company grew deployed models from 18 to 33 (an 83% increase) and cut person-hours for model development by more than 50%, using Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Lakeflow Jobs, Agent Bricks and MLflow.
…our Arc™ farm intelligence app,” said Michael Seay, Sr. Data Scientist at FMC. “Vision-enabled sensors look at our pest traps and give real-time counts tied to specific crops and locations. We enrich this data to anticipate where infestations are likely to emerge.” Enr…
