What Is PerPlant’s AI-Driven Camera Assistant?
PerPlant’s AI-driven camera assistant is a smart sensor designed to make spot spraying and graduating in agriculture both easy and profitable. This on-the-go sensor uses artificial intelligence to automatically redistribute and optimize field treatments, helping farmers get more out of their crops. It’s not just about boosting yield — it also cuts down on pesticide use and wipes out the hassle of managing tons of data. Basically, it’s a game-changer for modern farming.
Main Benefits of Using PerPlant’s Sensor
Here’s a quick snapshot of what PerPlant’s sensor brings to the table:
- Up to 4% increase in crop yield thanks to optimized field management
- Reduction of herbicide use by up to 87%, making farming greener
- Elimination of time-consuming data management with automatic cloud storage
- All-in-one solution covering spot spraying, variable application, and sowing
- Simple installation process — ready to use in about 30 minutes
- Supports a wide range of crops including wheat, potatoes, corn, and more
- Payback period of roughly one year, making it a smart investment
How PerPlant’s Sensor Works in the Field
The sensor is designed for ease and efficiency. First, it’s mounted on the tractor in just half an hour, and the PerPlant app automatically installs on your job computer or screen. Then, as you drive through the field, the sensor continuously registers and assesses conditions, sending signals to spray only where it’s truly needed. All the data collected is stored securely in the cloud, ready for analysis and future planning. It’s like having a smart assistant riding shotgun, making every move count.
Installation Made Simple: Three Easy Steps
Getting started with PerPlant’s sensor couldn’t be more straightforward:
- Mount and Install: Attach the sensor in about 30 minutes; the app installs automatically.
- Drive and Optimize: The sensor scans the field, deciding where to spray, saving resources.
- Document: All field data is uploaded to the cloud for easy access and analysis.
No complicated setups or endless prep — just plug, play, and watch your operation improve.
Versatility Across Crops and Regions
PerPlant’s sensor isn’t limited to just one type of crop or locale. It works seamlessly with wheat, grass seed, potatoes, rapeseed, corn, sugar beets, barley, oats — you name it. While it’s helping farmers across most of Denmark right now, its technology has global potential. Developed with insights from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and advice from the University of Oxford, this sensor is built on solid research and innovation. It’s ready to support sustainable farming worldwide.
