Anomaly Detection

Problem Statement:

With the growing emphasis on sustainable farming, maximizing residual biomass becomes paramount. However, undetected anomalies in agricultural processes can lead to wastage and reduced biomass yields.

Solution:

By harnessing machine learning algorithms, we've developed a system that continuously monitors various agricultural metrics and flags any irregular patterns. Once detected, the system suggests corrections to enhance efficiency and optimize for higher biomass residuals.

Features:

  • Real-time Anomaly Detection: Continuous monitoring and instant alerting on irregularities.
  • Predictive Analysis: Using past data to predict potential future anomalies.
  • Optimization Recommendations: Suggesting process alterations to maximize biomass.
  • Interactive Dashboards: Visual representations of agricultural metrics and anomalies.

Use Cases:

  • Sustainable Farming: Ensuring minimal wastage and maximizing biomass for green energy projects.
  • Quality Control: Maintaining a consistent quality of produce by minimizing anomalies.
  • Efficiency in Farming Operations: Reducing costs related to wastage and sub-optimal processes.

Data Science Specific Points:

  • Data Collection: Data was sourced from multiple farms using IoT devices capturing soil quality, weather conditions, crop health, and more.
  • Data Analysis: Utilized deep learning models to discern patterns and detect anomalies within large datasets. Historical data was used to train the model to recognize typical patterns and thus detect deviations.
  • Results: Achieved a substantial reduction in undetected anomalies, leading to an average increase of 18% in residual biomass across collaborating farms.
