Project value – PLN 4 139 166.50

EU funds contribution – PLN 2 918 330.63

Project implementation period – 05.2021 – 10.2023

Programme – European Regional Development Fund; Smart Growth Operational Program; Priority Axis 1 "Support for R&D activity by enterprises"; Measure 1.1 "R&D projects of enterprises"; Sub-measure 1.1.1 "Industrial research and development works carried out by enterprises"

 

The aim of the project is to develop new methods of non-invasive determination of the percentage of damage to oilseed rape caused by frosts, hail, and drought. As part of research and development, ground and aerial measurements will be carried out to record the fluorescence of plants associated with the condition of damaged crops. Meteorological data and artificial intelligence algorithms will allow to determine the dependence of the percentage of damage on the terrestrial and remote sensing indicators of vegetation condition. This innovative approach will provide agro-insurance customers with quick loss adjustment without the need to wait for damage to the cultivated plants to be revealed, as is the case with the traditional approach to claims handling. The quick claims handling method will expand OPEGIEKA's portfolio of services offered to insurance companies and will increase the company's competitiveness on the domestic and foreign markets.

 

Project co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Smart Growth Operational Program. The project is carried out as part of the competition of the National Center for Research and Development: Szybka Ścieżka
