Story highlights
– Moyo collaborates with Dell Technologies to improve crop management and promote sustainable agriculture
– Moyo leverages NVIDIA and Dell AI Factory to develop a drone that uses AI to detect potato leaf diseases with 99.52% accuracy.
Moyo, a leading digital business consultancy based in South Africa, has partnered with Dell Technologies to deploy autonomous drones that use AI to detect potato leaf diseases and help improve crop yield and quality. . This innovative solution was developed using Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA and Dell Precision AI-enabled workstations to support more sustainable agriculture in South Africa with advanced crop health monitoring.
Why it’s important:
South Africa produces nearly 10% of Africa’s potatoes, but potato leaf diseases can seriously threaten production. Using AI to enhance agricultural surveillance enables timely intervention, reduces losses, and improves yield quality.
Moyo works with customers to build AI solutions and strategies that help drive actionable and measurable business outcomes. The drone developed by Moyo employs a search augmentation generation (RAG) system that combines high-resolution image capture with AI-based leaf pattern analysis. Neural networks are trained to identify early signs of illness, such as fungal infections.
This technology-driven approach can also greatly improve the accuracy and depth of disease detection, reduce the need for chemical interventions, and promote sustainable agriculture by promoting organic (or regenerative) farming practices. can.
Transform data into insights and outcomes with Dell AI Factory and NVIDIA
AI provides incredible tools to help solve some of our planet’s biggest challenges. To power, model, and scale the solution, Moyo integrated AI models and frameworks into its operations using Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, a combination of Dell and NVIDIA AI solutions.
Dell Precision AI-enabled workstations feature high-end Intel Xeon processors, 64GB memory capacity, NVIDIA RTX™ 5000 Ada Generation GPUs, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. Dell Precision workstations coordinate these components to process large datasets and manage complex algorithms. This data processing and algorithm output is essential for analyzing crop health and growth patterns.
Powered by NVIDIA’s high-speed Spectrum-X Ethernet networking fabric and the efficient NVIDIA AI Workbench drive model training as a project, Moyo achieved a final accuracy of 99.52% within two weeks of deploying the solution.
