GroSens Technology
Making decision support technology available and affordable to every farmer
GroSens multi-spectral 3D machine vision sensor
The GroSens uses a patented active multi-spectral imaging technique, combined with 3D vision and a built-in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning engine. It’s unique design is focussed on deliving a low cost, low power sensor that can continuously capture precise plant information over long periods of time.
- Simple Installation – Comes with mounting bracket and solar panel to be mounted on existing post or star picket
- One step configuration – Use the mobile app to install and schedule the specific GroApps designed for your plant type
- All environments – GroSens is designed to work in all farm conditions (irrigation, pest control, rain, etc)
- Low cost – Designed to be able to affordably place multiple sensors across the farm to ensure coverage is sufficient
- Low maintenance – Once installed, can set and forget. Insights are sent to the cloud over IoT networks, 3G/4G or Wi-Fi
- Ease of integration – Open API’s for ease of integration into smart farm systems or import data into modelling software
