Testing the integration and performance of advanced weather forecasting

Taking weather integration in AI solutions for agricultural applications a step further, this service customises forecasts with advanced techniques in weather research to address limitations of standard APIs.

Overview

Solutions in the agricultural sector that use weather forecasts can suffer from inaccuracies of standard weather service APIs, such as lack of granularity, no usage of in-field sensors, and low precision of generic models. Using FBK's expertise in advanced weather forecasting, we are capable of testing weather-related functionalities in solutions and proposing ways forward to take it to the next level: nowcasting, higher resolution, model optimisation for specific regions, etc.

Customers developing agricultural solutions that require advanced weather forecasting can benefit from this service by testing their solutions and receiving recommendations for optimisation and enhanced capabilities.

This is a digital service, and its duration is approximately 16 weeks, adjustable as needed.Customers engage in requirements mapping for advanced weather forecasting in their solution and provide the software (under NDA). The customer receives a test result of its solution and a package with the verification software, a proposal for model optimisation, and recommendations for next-level enhancement.

Example of customisation:

- The customer wants to test an already implemented ML/AI solution that leverages or performs weather forecasts for business-related purposes. The service provides assessment tests on the performance of the implemented solution, possibly in comparison with existing state-of-the-art baselines.
Both qualitative and quantitative assessments will be provided.

Limitations:The service will provide a minimal amount of internal resources to perform test training and inference runs of AI models strictly limited to performing correctness tests on proposed optimisations or as part of the testing phase. All the resources and the engineering efforts for full training and validation of AI models are under the responsibility of the customer.
