Overview

Abelio is a digital farming solutions provider that uses computer vision to process aerial imagery from drones and satellites. They deliver insights that help farmers optimize yields, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact across large-scale agricultural operations.

01 — The Challenge

Abelio needed to process massive volumes of aerial imagery during peak farming seasons while meeting strict 48-hour delivery timelines.

Massive Data Volumes

During peak farming seasons, image processing increased fourfold. Managing terabytes of drone and satellite imagery required robust infrastructure.

Tight Delivery Timelines

Farmers needed insights within 48 hours of image acquisition. Time-consuming model retraining threatened these critical deadlines.

Fragmented Infrastructure

AWS services (S3, EC2, SageMaker) lacked integrated tools for image visualization and dataset management, creating workflow gaps.

No Reproducibility

Lack of traceability across diverse environments made it impossible to reproduce experiments or track what worked.

02 — The Transformation

From challenges to solutions

Before Picsellia
  • Fragmented AWS infrastructure (S3, EC2, SageMaker)
  • No integrated tools for image visualization
  • Time-consuming model retraining processes
  • Lack of traceability across environments
  • Difficult to reproduce experiments
After Picsellia
  • Centralized data management platform
  • Efficient retraining workflows
  • Full experiment reproducibility
  • Streamlined annotation campaigns
  • 48-hour delivery to farmers
With Picsellia, we can now deliver insights to farmers within 48 hours of image acquisition. The platform handles our seasonal data spikes without issues while maintaining full traceability.
