Services

Our service is designed to assist clients in identifying and evaluating potential agricultural applications for AI or robotics technologies originally developed for other sectors. Clients can provide detailed information about their technology, including its current applications and technical specifications. Our expert team will conduct extensive research to identify possible use cases related to the agricultural and food production sector, analysing factors such as feasibility, potential [...]

This service includes all essential actions to gather knowledge, design, and document the client’s needs regarding Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) services. Through close collaboration with the client, we ensure that all technical, operational, and methodological aspects are clearly outlined, forming a solid foundation for future testing phases. By conducting these preparatory activities, we deliver a comprehensive setup analysis that serves as the entry point for subsequent testing [...]

This service offers an in-depth evaluation of the environmental impact of digital technologies in agriculture, focusing on key areas such as resource efficiency, production sufficiency, ecological resilience, and animal welfare. Through script-based expert assessments and detailed environmental matrices, it systematically analyses the sustainability of each technology. The goal is to provide clear insights and guidance for adopting environmentally responsible agricultural practices.

In preparing image or sensor data, pre-processing is crucial. We apply techniques like normalisation for data uniformity and correlation analysis to uncover patterns, enhancing interpretability. Dimension reduction optimises computational efficiency, while adding randomised noise and artificial expansion improves model generalisation. We implement anonymisation to protect data privacy and ensure precise data labelling for supervised learning. These methods, tailored to your needs, enhance your [...]

We are committed to promoting sustainable livestock production through the use of data. Benefit from great flexibility and customised solutions to accelerate your product development: Video, images, sensor data and more from all areas of animal production, sourced from our research barns or an extensive network of pilot farms. Choose from raw, unprocessed data or processed datasets that are ready to use. Please contact us with your specific requirements.

This follow-up service supports clients who, based on a prior assessment or internal selection, want to explore a specific AI or robotics use case in greater depth. It focuses on understanding the conditions under which the selected use case could be applied in agriculture. Our team performs a structured feasibility analysis considering technical, organisational, and sector-specific factors. This includes evaluating compatibility with agricultural processes, identifying potential barriers to [...]

Within the framework of this service, we offer the possibility of carrying out functional safety tests of objects in the form of, for example, autonomous vehicles, robots, machines, agricultural equipment and components, etc. The service provides opportunities to test these devices with measurements of their mechanical, physical, acoustic, electrical parameters and electromagnetic compatibility to assess the overall safety of the user of the tested vehicles, machines, equipment and components [...]

Our service provides a thorough evaluation of AI models by utilising a wide range of benchmark datasets—from images and sensor data to remote sensing and multimodal data. This comprehensive testing assesses the model's performance across standard metrics, specifically chosen based on the model’s intended tasks. The results offer insights into the model’s effectiveness and accuracy, guiding developers in refining their AI solutions to achieve optimal performance in real-world applications.

Evaluating a health monitoring system for cattle using visual observation involves comparing the data from the system with direct observations of the cattle. This can include noting behaviours like eating, drinking, resting, or movement patterns and correlating these with the data provided by the system, such as activity levels or physiological signs. Observations are carried out systematically and cover various times and conditions. This process helps verify the accuracy of the monitoring [...]

Our service thoroughly evaluates AI-based sensors by measuring key metrics like accuracy, mean squared error, and other tailored parameters. Testing is conducted in real-world environments where the sensor will be used, with reference data recorded or labelled for analysis. For certain sensors, we also utilise benchmark datasets to validate performance. We assess consistency under identical conditions, adaptability to environmental changes (e.g., light, temperature, or weather), and improvements [...]

Evaluating an agricultural implement on an autonomous carrier platform involves more than just numerical metrics; it includes a qualitative analysis of various aspects. We assess work quality by examining performance under different agricultural conditions, including, among others, different soil moisture levels, varying crop densities, and sloped terrain. Safety evaluations consider system robustness in various scenarios. Functionality assessments measure adaptability in dynamic environments [...]

Our testing service assesses the accuracy of your system's biomass estimation capabilities. You can opt to evaluate your model virtually using existing datasets, such as satellite or image data, or we can gather new field data with our field sampling equipment specifically for your needs. The main targeted crops of the biomass estimation are grassland as well as clover and alfalfa, but also grain crops are possible. As yield and biomass are highly correlated in grassland, both can be determined [...]
