About VAIS
Visual and AI Solutions (VAIS) is a deep-tech company that develops innovative and proprietary geospatial analytics. VAIS is inventor of sophisticated, patent-pending Virtual Field Probing (VFP) technology which enables sensor-free Earth surface and sub-surface exploration using petabytes of multi-modal and multi-spectral data (optical, thermal, SAR, etc.) intelligently assimilated from tens of heterogenous satellite constellations. VAIS VFP provides sensor-level accuracy while reducing/eliminating the need for in-situ/ground sensors or drone/aircraft-mounted sensors. The technology works in any place on planet Earth, is weather resilient and not hindered by cloud coverage, and provides 24/7, 365 days/year operability. It enables a wide array of novel solutions in a diversity of industries including agriculture, sustainability, and remote sensing, among others. VAIS is utilizing its VFP technology to offer farmers, traders, insurers, NGOs and governments with dependable irrigation intelligence solutions that optimize the allocation and consumption of irrigation water, alleviate the effects of draught and heat waves, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Additional VAIS solutions provide dynamic crop mapping, continuous monitoring and detection of crop diseases, early warning against adverse weather incidents, AI-guided scouting, nutrient distribution mapping and fertilization plans.
The company is currently one of the leaders in agricultural and geospatial intelligence in Africa and the MENA region, and among few companies supported by both Google and Microsoft accelerator programs. VAIS has successfully been delivering national and international projects over the past two years. Our solutions are seamlessly integrated with existing enterprise systems to provide our customers with differentiating features and competitive advantage.
