Automated drone aims to aid in crop protection through early detection system

Si-Ware Systems in collaboration with Rock River Laboratory has introduced CropScout. This solution is designed to streamline greenhouse horticulture operations by enabling autonomous crop monitoring, precise detection, and comprehensive diagnostics of crop abnormalities. CropScout aims to offer growers enhanced yield, optimized resource use, and minimized crop loss through early detection and intervention.

The solution consists of an autonomous drone that captures high-resolution images of crops across the greenhouse, AI-driven smart image processing powered by Rock River Laboratory to detect early signs of crop stress, and the NeoSpectra Portable Near Infrared (NIR) device for precise diagnostics of plant health parameters. This integrated system ensures that growers can capture, analyze, and respond to crop health data in real-time, maximizing their productivity and minimizing resource waste.

Zachery Meyer, CEO of Rock River Laboratory said: "Our AI image processing algorithms accurately alert growers to a wide range of potential health issues for diverse high-value crops - offering time to make confident, informed decisions."

Designed for greenhouses of all sizes, CropScout's autonomous operation eliminates labor-intensive monitoring. Through early detection and correction of issues such as nutrient imbalances, pest infestations, and environmental stressors, the system helps prevent crop losses, maximize yields, and optimize the usage of valuable resources throughout the plants' growth cycle.

Si-Ware Systems invites early adopters to request participation in exclusive early trials. These participants will gain access to advanced support and insights, positioning them at the forefront of precision greenhouse horticulture technology. Visit Si-Ware Systems' website to learn more or contact Si-Ware Systems to join the early adopters' program for exclusive trials.
