Ecorobotix's ARA Ultra-High Precision Sprayer: A Game-Changer for Sustainable Crop Protection
Ecorobotix's UHP-spraying solution is radically different from conventional and spot-spraying herbicide application, making it more efficient and more cost-effective solution which can be used for both selective and non-selective herbicides.
Drones Revolutionizing Weed Management and Crop Care
Drones can broadcast chemicals over entire fields or apply them to specific plants with remarkable accuracy. Fixed-wing planes take a clumsy approach — as the product leaves the tank in a hazy cloud, much of it blows beyond the pasture’s edge.
Ranch Life: Water Visibility is Critical Part 2
Measurement is part of a farmer’s DNA. It improves plant yields, herd health, resource conservation and impacts the bottom line – from ensuring livestock reach their peak for maximum prices at auction to guarding against overgrazed pastures.
Preparing for the 2023 Commercial Agriculture Growing Season
Planning, equipment maintenance, and market research are all vital aspects to increasing your odds of a worthwhile harvest. Let’s take a look at tactics you can use to begin preparing for the 2023 commercial agriculture growing season.
Building The Next Generation of Commercial Mowers
Whether you’re designing a fully autonomous, semi-autonomous, or remote-controlled mower, ensure that you are up to date on the safety standards and regulations that apply to your application.
Crop Steering for Generative Growth
Following our recent review of crop steering for vegetative growth, we will now examine the specific cues required for generative development. Generative growth is geared towards reproduction: Plants produce bud sites and, later, flower.
Ranch Life: Water Visibility is Critical Part 1
What has evolved is how the modern rancher observes and measures today with near real-time visibility, particularly when it comes to water management.

Analysis of images when objects vary in color or size
Analysis of images when objects vary in color or size
How can a camera be taught to reliably detect deviations from the norm if they are not or not completely predictable? Rule-based image processing would have to capitulate - with the AI system IDS NXT, on the other hand, such a challenge can be easily solved from now on. In the new IDS NXT 3.0 release, IDS is making anomaly detection available to all customers as a third AI method, in addition to object detection and classification. You can even use only "GOOD" training images for training anomaly detection. In addition, relatively little training data is required compared to the other AI methods. This simplifies the development of an AI vision application and is well suited for evaluating the potential of AI-based image processing for new projects.
