Innovation

Industry Problem

Blanket herbicide application wastes chemicals, raises costs, creates environmental exposure, and treats areas that may contain few or no weeds.

R&D Focus

Drone edge AI; millimetre-resolution weed mapping; offline spot-spray and patch-spray prescriptions; ISOBUS integration.

Innovative Solution

SAM-CAM AI uses a proprietary multi-camera rig and onboard edge AI to map weeds, then creates ready-to-use spot-spray maps for existing ISOBUS sprayers without adding cameras to the spray boom.

Solution Effectiveness

Official Agritechnica product data lists up to 60 ha/hour mapping, less than 2 mm ground resolution, and up to 90% lower input use. Company pages cite up to 95%; one contractor reports 75% saving. Results vary by field and are company/customer claims.

Investment Funding

Revenue

$1M to $10M
