Farmair: ai-driven plant stress detection technology

Overview

farmAIr presents a groundbreaking solution for plant stress management using patented technology that integrates thermal and visual (RGB) imaging with Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence. This enables early detection of plant stress at the leaf level, long before traditional symptoms manifest, providing an unprecedented advantage in managing plant health. Originally applied in vineyards, the technology is currently being expanded to other crops such as apples, sugar beets, and lettuce, demonstrating its versatility and potential for widespread agricultural impact.

Technical specifications

• Imaging Technology: Utilizes both thermal and visual (RGB) imaging to capture detailed plant data.
• AI and Computer Vision: Applies advanced algorithms to analyze images and detect stress indicators that are invisible to the naked eye.
• Compatibility: Adaptable to various environments including open fields, greenhouses, and can be integrated with smart tractors and drones for data collection.
• Current Applications: Successfully commercialized in Greek vineyards, with ongoing tests in Polish farms and greenhouses in Greece.

Technology readiness level

The technology has reached a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 5, indicating that it has been validated in relevant environments and is moving towards commercial deployment. With ongoing partnerships and data collection efforts, farmAIr is actively refining and expanding its platform to include additional features and applications.
