Fruitometry Limited

Significant investments are made in orchards such as land, infrastructure and purchasing of plant variety licenses, and it is critical to understand how your orchard is performing throughout the growing season to maximise Orchard Gate Return and minimise operating expenses. Measure your entire orchard’s performance earlier, when it is easier and cheaper to take corrective action. Our purpose is to provide knowledge to empower orchard owners to efficiently manage their orchard, maximize their yield and provide accurate pre-harvest crop estimation for the entire value chain- For Growers and Orchard Managers we provide information about the crop density throughout the orchard enabling them to optimize their labour and maximize their yield - For Orchard Owners we provide governance information for banks, finance companies, and other stakeholders to measure the performance of their investment throughout the season - For the Supply Chain we provide a significantly higher accuracy for pre-harvest information throughout the season enabling better planning of sales contracts, freight and packaging Fruitometry has developed a service that utilizes advances in telemetry, machine vision and powerful GPU computing to develop a mobile data acquisition system that can be mounted to quadbikes and ATVs. Managers will be able to pinpoint areas of orchards that require most attention and direct labour to them. They will then be able to run a scan afterwards to confirm that the appropriate action has been taken. This system captures topographical data such as longitude, latitude and altitude, along with 3D image capture from multiple camera angles. These are then processed using the latest Artificial Intelligence Deep Learning inference engine to identify buds, flowers or fruit. With all this data we can build up an extremely accurate model of the orchard and knowledge about bud, flower and fruit density in extremely localized areas throughout the orchard
