How to use GreenView tools for accurate and scalable plant, flower & fruit counting
GreenView tools enable accurate and scalable plant, flower & fruit counting. GreenView counts berries at superhuman speed and categorises fruit into different phenological stages. Now with our new Forecasting and Scenario Tool you can take your projections a step further and incorporate growing degree day accumulation.
New app for instant real-time counts in the field
GreenView Go app is a count and scouting tool that complements the full GreenView system. It offers instant counts using our advanced AI, as well as the option to add grower input to better understand accuracy, ripening curve and forecasting. The app is a powerful tool for enhancing the GreenView system’s desktop and dashboard tools.
Revolutionising agriculture: how technology and AI drive the future of farming
For decades, farmers have relied on experience, intuition, and manual labour to manage their crops. However, there are always limitations to human capabilities and a significant expense to hiring skilled labour. These challenges are only magnified by a growing population and increased pressure on food production and sustainability.
In the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture, harnessing the power of technology has become essential to meet the growing demands of our rapidly changing world. Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision hold the key to transform traditional farming practices and pave the way for smarter, more efficient and sustainable agriculture.
How to count berries at superhuman speed & reduce wastage
Nothing is quite as satisfying as watching GreenView AI counting berries at superhuman speed!
The average human can count 4-8 blueberry plants a day. GreenView can easily count over 5,000 plants a day!
Our technology can see like humans – but more accurately, more consistently and at a superhuman speed. Whether it’s blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries – our AI will count more plants, be more consistent in approach and much faster.
How to manage variability in your vineyard with AI
We solve a lot of problems in vineyards throughout the season, but most of them are focused on variability.
Vineyard variability starts right at the beginning, at the pruning season. Most growers want to know their pruning quality, identify any underperforming areas, and get a sense of the yield to come.
Common vineyard problems: how to quantify damage with GreenView
Many common vineyard problems can be solved when you have the right information to manage your vines.
GreenView measures and maps vineyard variability and helps growers get accurate counts at superhuman speed to improve forecasting. It can also count at different phenological stages, monitor your grapes across the whole growing season, and identify underperforming vines so you can target treatments.
GreenView calculator: forecast your berries by phenological stage
Our new GreenView calculator has expanded functionality across all of our berry categories – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. We’ve taken a lot of customer feedback on board, tested, redesigned and developed a calculator for both long term forecasting and week-by-week forecasting.
We know it’s not as simple as “one day it’s a strawberry flower and the next it’s an immature green” – our new calculator helps combat the ambiguity of berries as they morph from one phenological stage to the next.
Get access to inflorescence counts on your vineyard
As growers ourselves, we know how important inflorescence count is for accurate forecasting. Our Bitwise Ag developers have been working hard to incorporate data for inflorescence into our GreenView system – and our testing phase is now underway.
Instead of counting buds during pruning you can now count at inflorescence. This means you’ll be able to more accurately predict yield as well as assess your conversion rate into actual fruit.
How to get accurate count and forecasting data on your berry farm
Trying to count and forecast the number of berries in your crop is time consuming and costly – and even after a lot of effort it’s often inaccurate. But there is a solution.
Our GreenView customers have access to accurate weekly counts at superhuman speed. The information is also broken down into different phenological stages.
It’s real time data on what’s happening in your crop and it’s changing the way that people farm.
