MENLO PARK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2024 / The fully integrated solution empowers growers to proactively monitor, detect, and diagnose crop health issues to maximize yield, optimize resources, and minimize risk of crop loss.
CropScout provides continuous monitoring, early detection, and comprehensive diagnosis of high-value crops throughout their growth cycle. This innovative solution empowers growers to maximize yields, optimize resource use, and reduce crop losses.
Si-Ware Systems, a leader in delivering innovative multi-disciplinary technology solutions, in collaboration with Rock River Laboratory-an advanced agriculture laboratory network with decades of expertise-proudly introduces CropScout. This groundbreaking solution is designed to streamline greenhouse horticulture operations by enabling autonomous crop monitoring, precise detection, and comprehensive diagnostics of crop abnormalities. CropScout offers growers enhanced yield, optimized resource use, and minimized crop loss through early detection and intervention - all without significant infrastructure investments.
With global demand for sustainable and high-efficiency food production on the rise, the greenhouse crop cultivation market is projected to grow from $35.6 billion in 2024 to $77.83 billion by 2032*. High operational complexities and rising costs challenge growers to maintain efficiency. CropScout tackles these hurdles with early intervention capabilities, delivering precise crop health insights while requiring minimal setup and operational input.
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 seamlessly integrated system ensures that growers can capture, analyze, and respond to crop health data in real-time, maximizing their productivity and minimizing resource waste.
"The partnership with Si-Ware successfully combines their technological innovation and our long-standing agricultural analysis expertise for the betterment of the industry," stated Zachery Meyer, CEO of Rock River Laboratory. "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."
Mostafa Medhat, Senior Vice President of Commercial and Product at Si-Ware Systems said "CropScout is more than a monitoring system-it is a transformative solution that provides growers with real-time, actionable data to proactively manage crop health. With a combination of advanced and easy-to-operate technologies, CropScout puts crop care on autopilot so that growers can make quick corrective actions."
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. CropScout sets a new standard in sustainable and precision crop management, for growers to achieve greater efficiency and resilience in their operations.
