Our spot spraying test service precisely checks how well your spraying system works under real-world conditions. The innovative approach allows for immediate documentation of the spray distribution without altering the spraying process. After application, we document the spread pattern and analyse this data to assess how effectively and precisely the liquid targets the intended areas. This enables you to fine-tune application techniques and evaluate herbicide effects, ensuring your spraying strategies are both efficient and environmentally conscious.

 

Our service offers a comprehensive evaluation of your device's ability to detect and track moving objects like people, ensuring it performs reliably in real-world scenarios. Also, safety concerns of such a function can be addressed with our tests. Through field tests, we simulate realistic conditions to test your system under various environmental influences. This practical approach provides precise insights into your device's effectiveness and highlights areas for improvement, making it essential for startups and SMEs in the tech-agricultural sector aiming to refine their innovative solutions.

This specialised service offers comprehensive evaluation of heat detection systems in dairy cattle, utilising milk progesterone testing. The process involves systematic collection and analysis of milk samples to establish progesterone profiles, correlating these with data from existing heat detection technologies. This method provides an objective, scientifically rigorous assessment of the system's accuracy in identifying oestrus events, crucial for enhancing reproductive management in dairy herds. The service is designed to support enterprises in validating and optimising their cattle reproductive health monitoring systems.

This service tests the robustness and accuracy of a solution to detect moving objects, such as people. We conduct these tests manually in the field to ensure that your device is evaluated under realistic conditions, providing you with reliable insights into its performance and areas for improvement. The test will be done under various conditions (different illuminations, rain, sunshine, diffuse light, etc.) to address the needs of your customers. You will receive a report of the system's capabilities as well as under which conditions the detection should be improved.

Our service offers comprehensive field trials to test the performance of your AI-based weeding system. Before the system operates, we record essential environmental data such as soil conditions and weather. We assess the crops and weeds either manually or with automated tools, and re-evaluate them post-weeding to measure the system's effectiveness. Our trials can be conducted on fields provided by us or at external locations of your choosing. This testing gives you clear, objective insights into your system’s performance and helps identify any potential issues under real-world conditions.
 

Our service evaluates both, the physical components and user interface of your product to ensure they meet high usability and user experience standards. Participants from a representative test group perform specific tasks that reflect the product's application, followed by a questionnaire to gather their insights. We analyse these responses to provide you with both qualitative and quantitative feedback in a detailed report. This process helps you fine-tune your product to better meet user needs.

Install your robotic or AI solution on a real vineyard to assess its performance or to foster its development with storage and workshop facilities. Benefit from our accompaniment and our guidance to find the better spots in the vineyard according to your experimental needs. We define the requirements together before you arrive and book for you the parcels and the workshop. We give you detailed information about the soil and all operations in the vineyard so you can choose the best spot to conduct your developments. You will be advised and get feedback on how your solution works.

IFV has national French experts that cover all the fields from vine plant grafting to wine bottling, including crop protection, agronomy, and machinery. If you think of a use case with added value brought by AI, contact us to define the best way to collect quality data in the vineyard or in the cellar. We will guide you through the data collection process, finding the best places and the right moment.
