Arugga
Arugga is developing an autonomous robot for treating and monitoring individual plants in greenhouses.
The company is launching its first module – robotic pollinator – to address the large market segment of greenhouse-grown tomatoes.
Arugga mechanical pollination module aims to replace the work of dwindling labor forces in countries where pollination is done manually. And it will also replace the work of bumblebees, the most widely used pollination solution, thus solving sensitivity to environmental conditions and pesticides, and preventing the spread of viruses.
Arugga robotic platforms will eventually encompass additional solutions: pest & disease detection (and treatment), yield prediction and additional labor-intensive activities.
At a time when fruit and vegetable growers around the world face enormous challenges in finding and retaining workers, Arugga robotic solutions will contribute to easing these challenges and making producers more competitive.
Arugga is proud to bring to the market a solution which will eventually reduce the use of chemicals and the spread of diseases in fruit and vegetable farming, and thus contribute to a healthier and safer planet.
We have teamed up with leading growers from Australia, Belgium, and Canada. We will be launching our first commercial robotic pollination solution in the second half of 2021.
Supplant
Supplant Is a world-leading company in the field of agricultural IOT
SupPlant’s unique technology saves water on a global scale while improving productivity and yields. Powered by artificial intelligence technology, SupPlant’s system is able to analyze data generated from sensors in the ground and on plants, and translate it into smart irrigation actions.
Smart Irrigation Systems:
– SupPlant’s irrigation management platform provides farmers with a convenient and easy-to-use interface to manage a large number of plots.
– Irrigation Recommendations
– A flexible feature that recommends when and how much to irrigate during the next 8 days and enables farmers to adjust these recommendations based on the farms’ limitations or external information.
Alerts System:
– SupPlant’s advanced alert system informs farmers about anomalies or extreme events pertaining to their crops. Growth rate and plant stress. Current and forecasted weather. Soil moisture, temperature, and salinity levels. Continuous Monitoring and Forecasts.
– A monthly and seasonal view of crops: The monthly view clearly shows the daily response of the plant and soil to irrigation and weather conditions, while the seasonal view allows farmers to understand the overall dynamics of the crop through different phenological stages.
– Water Balance Allows farmers to get an assessment of irrigation accuracy by comparing accumulated daily irrigation and daily precipitation to ET.
