Strategic partners are taking notice. Headwall, a leader in creating and enabling customers to deploy hyperspectral imaging products and technology, has partnered with GRYFN to share best practices in the emerging field.
“It’s incredible and commendable that this small, focused team has come up with such a sophisticated technology, rivaling many multinational corporations,” said David Blair, chief product officer at Headwall. “Our strategic partnership has allowed us to share and adopt best practices from mission planning through data processing, improving our customer’s experience with our products. It’s easy to see opportunity to further leverage this platform for research into food and water availability, forest health, greenhouse gas emissions monitoring, and much more.”
Sophisticated, easy to use data processes and pipelines are required for commercial and industrial adoption and GRYFN has answered the call. Most exciting, agree Bechdol and the company’s strategic partners, is the potential to uncover discoveries researchers haven’t even imagined.
“When we cut out big chunks of time managing data, we free human resources and open up new opportunities for novel, exploratory research that drives real innovation,” Bechdol said. “When these labor-intensive tasks are automated, we are that much closer to real-time monitoring. When we understand a scenario that deeply, we begin to shift from old questions to new, to explore what we haven’t even conceived of yet.”
