Overview
The specialised service permits evaluating customer innovations in real-world Nordic. The RISE team focuses on evaluating AI and robotic solutions tailored for agriculture, ensuring the customer’s crop production sensors and decision support systems are rigorously tested. The service evaluates the innovation comprehensively, offering valuable insights for refinement and adaptation to ensure optimal performance and enhance market readiness. By customising testing procedures to the specific innovation, the service can deliver clear, data-driven feedback that helps customers scale up more efficiently. As an illustration, if the customer has developed an AI-driven crop monitoring system, the service will test its performance in various Nordic climates, ensuring it meets the needs of local farmers. Similarly, robotic harvesters can be evaluated for efficiency and safety in real-world conditions. Whether the aim is to validate, enhance, or introduce an innovation, the service’s practical approach equips customers with the knowledge and confidence to succeed in markets that are ready for change.

The service addresses the critical need for reliable, real-world testing of AI and robotic innovations in agriculture.
Before using our service, companies are often uncertainty about how their innovations will perform in actual farming conditions, which can lead to delays in market entry and potential failures. Through the service, the customer gains the knowledge and confidence to bring an innovation to market, knowing it has been thoroughly validated and optimised for success.
Before and After:
Before: The customer has developed an AI-driven crop monitoring system with unknown performance in Nordic conditions.
After: The customer receives comprehensive data on system performance, including suggested adjustments for improving accuracy and reliability.
Before: The customer has developed a robotic harvester with still untested safety and efficiency.
After: The customer receives detailed feedback on performance, and operates efficiently in real-world conditions.

The innovation is tested in real work or work-like conditions in the Nordics, and the work results are evaluated from a potential customer’s point of view.
The service is adapted to the actual innovation to be tested. The following work and facilities are provided by the agrifoodTEF project:Test area and equipment for conducting tests.
Storage of the robot platform, including charging capabilities.Personnel, including relevant experts from RISE.Tests can be performed with various types of location at the testbed.The service is conducted by RISE at Testbed Digitalised Agriculture in Uppsala.
Outputs:Deliverables: Upon completion, the customer receives comprehensive documentation, including detailed reports on error handling and failure monitoring, along with any identified recommendations for improvements. Presentation: Results and a final report are introduced in a final review meeting where any outstanding issues are discussed further.
Conditions for the service:To ensure that service can be performed, all equipment to be tested, access to online services and related instructional material must be available for RISE at the testbed in Uppsala at the start date of the service. The period for delivery of the service is typically during the growing season. However, depending on the specific type of test, this period may be adapted to accommodate customer needs. The customer will be responsible for following rules and instructions provided by RISE.
Before the work and tests can begin, a PM detailing test setup and work environment considerations must be agreed upon by the customer and RISE.Any required non-disclosure agreements between the customer and RISE must be in place before the provision of the service.

The service can be adapted to specific customer needs.
The assessment journey starts with a joint meeting where the customer discusses different alternatives with an expert team from RISE. A roadmap for the service is established, and the service can commence.
Options for Customisation:
Tailored Testing Environments: alternative specific Nordic climates or conditions to test an innovation, ensuring it performs optimally in target markets.
Customised Performance Metrics: definition of key performance indicators (KPIs) most suited to the innovation (e.g. accuracy, efficiency or durability metrics).
Flexible Consultation Formats: virtual consultations, on-site visits or a hybrid approach to suit customer operational needs and preferences.
Detailed Reporting: variable level of detail in the feedback and reporting, from high-level summaries to in-depth technical analyses.
Limitations and Specifications:
Data Requirements: customers must provide comprehensive technical details and current compliance status of the innovation.
