Polybee uses autonomous drones and AI to capture crop images and provide growers with yield forecasts, crop health data, and harvest optimisation insights through an interactive dashboard.
VegNET Tas welcomes the Polybee team to Hagley, Tasmania to showcase their technology, which is already being trialled in broccoli and spinach crops, along with protected cropping lines (tomatoes & strawberries).
What does Polybee do?
The technology captures crop data through autonomous drones and AI analysis to provide growers with:
- Yield forecasts and insights on when to harvest
- Crop health assessments
- Plant stand counts and leaf size measurements
- Data for harvest planning and resource optimisation (such as labour)
- Autonomous pollination for protected cropping
Join us to find out more about how Polybee technology works and what is looks like. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions.
