Who Is Intelinair?
Intelinair delivers automated crop intelligence by integrating multiple layers of data—including high-resolution drone imagery, satellite data, and weather insights—into easy-to-use analytics and reports. Its platform, AGMRI, helps growers and ag retailers make timely, informed management decisions across the entire growing season.
“We help answer questions like: Where might inputs need adjusting? Which areas require immediate attention? How is emergence tracking across fields? These insights help growers operate more efficiently,” explains Rapaka.

Move massive geospatial datasets from sensor to cloud or on-prem storage with speed, flexibility, and relentless reliability.
The Challenge: Supporting Same-Day Delivery of High-Resolution Imagery
Intelinair handles a significant volume of aerial imagery during the growing season, often working within tight operational windows. Ensuring that data moves quickly from pilots in the field to processing environments is key to meeting customer expectations for timely insights.
Transfer conditions can vary based on geography and available connectivity. Intelinair looked for a partner who could help streamline and automate this part of the workflow while maintaining performance and reliability.
The Solution: A Streamlined, Automated Data Pipeline from Field to Cloud
After evaluating available tools, Intelinair implemented MASV to support portions of its automated data ingestion pipeline. The MASV API, along with the ability to configure purpose-built Portals, allowed the team to integrate the platform efficiently.
- Pilots upload imagery through MASV Watch Folders assigned to their designated portal.
- Data routes directly into Intelinair’s secure S3 environment.
- Notifications trigger downstream processing through AWS Lambda.
- Custom paths help organize imagery exactly where Intelinair needs it within its directory structure.
“Integrating MASV into our workflow was straightforward,” Rapaka notes. “The documentation was clear and made it easy to get things up and running quickly.”
Optimizing bandwidth and transfer consistency
Intelinair captures and moves more than 100 TB of imagery during peak months. MASV’s ability to make full use of available upload capacity supports fast turnarounds without introducing bottlenecks.
“MASV has consistently performed well for us across a wide range of field conditions,” says Rapaka.
Dependable connectivity across environments
With operations spanning multiple states and rural regions, Intelinair pilots often transition between different connectivity sources. MASV’s Multiconnect channel bonding helps maintain steady performance across these environments.
“The ability to take advantage of more than one connection type has been helpful for our field workflows,” Rapaka shares.
Transfer continuity and visibility
Mobile operations sometimes involve moving between coverage zones. MASV’s ability to resume interrupted transfers where they left off via checkpoint restart and visibility into upload status contributes to a smoother process.
“Being able to pause and resume seamlessly is useful when pilots are moving between locations throughout the day,” he says.
Flexible tools for a diverse pilot network
Intelinair’s pilot network uses a range of devices and systems. MASV’s combination of browser access and multi-OS desktop apps allows each pilot to work the way that fits best.
“We appreciate that MASV supports the tools our pilots already use,” Rapaka notes. “The flexibility gives our teams more freedom in the field.”
Reduce Storage Chaos
Manage all ingest to storage, including one-to-many ingest workflows, with a single upload platform: MASV.
The Result: Fast, Reliable Data Movement That Supports Customer Success
Intelinair’s commitment to delivering timely, actionable insights often requires rapid movement of large imagery datasets. MASV plays a supporting role in enabling these efficient workflows.
“The platform is intuitive, dependable, and integrates smoothly with our systems,” Rapaka says. “Overall, MASV has been a solid partner in helping us keep data moving quickly during the height of the season.”
