In the era of digitalization, the so-called “precision farming” is emerging as a silent but powerful revolution. The Danish startup PerPlant has just launched Jarvis, an AI-powered platform that promises to make “green thumb” much easier.
The system combines high-definition cameras with automatic sprayers to offer farmers real-time solutions. The purpose? Increase crop yield up to 10%, and reduce the use of chemicals by an impressive 80%.
How does Jarvis work?
High-definition cameras mounted on agricultural sprayers capture detailed images of plants, which are then analyzed by artificial intelligence to determine their health and spot anomalies in time.
One of Jarvis' strengths is his centimeter precision. I'm not talking about a rough estimate, but about accurate monitoring that allows you to intervene only where it is really necessary. This incredible level of detail is critical to reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, contributing to more sustainable agriculture.
The secret of the green thumb 2.0: data, data and more data
In addition to images, Jarvis also integrates information from external sources, such as soil conditions, satellite data on field history and yields over time. This holistic approach allows for a 360-degree view of agriculture, providing farmers with the tools to make informed decisions. Green thumb? Simply a consequence.
Founded just last year, PerPlant it has already gained the trust of many investors: its potential is remarkable. With technologies like Jarvis we will enter a new era of more sustainable and more efficient agriculture.
