What is 'Field DX'?
The 'Field DX' service is designed to streamline the cumbersome process of field inspections for agricultural administration. Traditionally, these inspections relied heavily on visual observations by local government staff. However, the innovative approach of utilizing satellite data analyzed by artificial intelligence allows for automation of the inspection processes. This means that local officials can conduct equal-quality investigations with significantly less effort, without needing to physically visit the inspection sites.
By liberating staff from the labor-intensive outdoor tasks, the time saved can be redirected towards developing higher-value projects aimed at agricultural promotion and policy formulation. Due to these remarkable impacts, 'Field DX' has been recognized as a pioneering example amidst the national movement for revising analog regulations, now being adopted by over 120 municipalities across the country.
