Spain

Livestock farming

The service validates that the tested solution performs as expected by the vendor or manufacturer. The objective is to detect potential mistakes in the sensor readings, the processing of the signal gathered by the sensor or in the intelligent component deriving the final information to be provided to the user to optimize livestock farming . The test can be performed at sensor or application level. The tests and validation can be performed in a laboratory or in an experimental pig farm equipped with automatic and manual measures of different variables (feed, water, CO2, NH3, temperature, ventilation, liveweight, etc.)

Livestock farming

This service enables the thorough testing and validation of your AI models within a simulation environment, ensuring optimal performance before real-world deployment. We implement your AI model and its corresponding dataset into advanced simulation software, allowing it to be tested without hardware limitations or with hardware-in-the-loop simulations where AI is (partly) integrated into the hardware or operating software. For example, the AI could simulate a robotic system navigating a field to detect and remove weeds. This method ensures your model functions accurately and efficiently under various conditions, accelerating its readiness for practical use in agri-food applications like precision farming or automated harvesting.

Testing and Validation of AI-based Agri-tech Technologies with Drones

Livestock farming

Tree Crops

The service focuses on testing and validating AI-based agri-tech technologies using drones. Drones equipped with advanced RGB and spectral cameras provide detailed area overviews and precise measurements of plant and tree growth and stress levels. This can include biomass determination, growth model development, yield potential assessment, plant cover evaluation, individual plant counting, damage assessments, and disease stress symptom identification. Our expertise lies in leveraging high-precision multi- and hyperspectral cameras in field trials to obtain "ground truth" data, essential for model validation. We transform drone data into actionable insights through AI analysis, agronomic expertise, web programming, and mathematical modelling.
