Problem
To maximize profits, crop producers & researchers require real-time data to predict yield and quality. There are no adequate solutions available to farmers or researchers to rapidly acquire such data in real-time.
Solution
A solar-powered smart seed thresher that integrates a camera, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to generate accurate seed metrics such as quantity, size, shape, and quality in real time. This solution significantly improves efficiency for agricultural researchers and delivers meaningful economic benefits for crop producers.
