Digitizing permanent
and specialty crops
Integrated vision for real-time understanding of every plant
We’re developing the Vivid X-Vision system to capture visible and chemical details on every plant and fruit across an entire crop throughout the entire production season.
At Vivid Machines we’re automating the understanding of quantity and quality of fruit and vegetables at the plant level, to predict and manage yield, and provide means for early diagnosis of pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies.
