Shortlisted products:

AgriArchive by Rethinkline

From the photo taken in the field to the treatment prescription in a single flow: AI analysis proposes the visible symptoms in the orchard, the agronomist confirms and prescribes with authorised plant protection products, dose for the plot, pre-harvest and re-entry intervals from the label.
The crews carry out the work and the field record is logged automatically, with proof of date and position.

DJI Agaras T100 by Fly Südtirol

The DJI AGRAS T100 represents a new generation of agricultural drones designed to make orchard treatments more efficient, precise and automated. Thanks to its high-performance spraying system and automated route planning, it enables targeted and uniform applications while optimising time and work processes.
Operational safety is a key element: LiDAR, millimetre-wave radar and a multidirectional vision system allow the drone to detect its surroundings and identify obstacles such as trees, poles and wires, while also supporting terrain-adaptive autonomous flight.
Using the drone also offers an important benefit for soil protection: several operations can be carried out from the air, reducing the use of heavy agricultural machinery between the rows and, consequently, the risk of soil compaction—especially in challenging conditions or on sensitive land.
With a spraying capacity of up to 100 litres, high flight precision and intelligent safety systems, the AGRAS T100 combines automation, efficiency and innovation to support increasingly modern, safe and sustainable orchard management.

Drone Scan by Aerobotics

Aerobotics’ Drone Scan uses drones equipped with multispectral cameras and thermal sensors to capture detailed imagery of your orchard or vineyard. Our AI processes this imagery to provide tree-level and zonal insights to enable data-driven decisions.
View crop inventories, compare performance maps and share insights among your team, ultimately providing decision support for spraying, harvesting and yield estimation.

Electrostatic Nozzles on UniCo by Soleon GmbH

Integrated directly into UniCo, the electrostatic nozzles charge each droplet, helping it adhere to the plant surface rather than simply falling under gravity. This improves coverage throughout the canopy, including areas such as leaf undersides that can be difficult to reach with conventional ground sprayers.
Combined with aerial application, the charged droplets are attracted to the vegetation, supporting more targeted application and helping reduce losses caused by drift, particularly when working on steep terrain.
Improved droplet adhesion can also increase application efficiency, allowing each tank load to cover more crop area while maintaining effective plant coverage.

OptiMist by Spray Logics

OptiMist transforms conventional spraying into precision agriculture. Its multispectral sensors detect the presence, density and structure of plants in real time, enabling product application to be adapted to the actual characteristics of the target.
The technology is designed to reduce waste and make treatments more precise, while also opening up new applications such as flower and fruit recognition and targeted flower thinning.

PRE-SENSE ONE by Salvarani

Capacitive presence sensor for joysticks, developed to raise safety standards in the operation of electro-hydraulic equipment in vineyards and orchards.
Designed to prevent accidental activation and hazardous situations, the device instantly detects hand contact on the grip and automatically adapts to the operator, ensuring flawless performance both with bare hands and with gloves of any thickness.
Non-invasive and integrable without structural modifications, it combines a flexible support with 3M adhesive and a robust protective overmoulding, delivering complete resistance to impacts and weather conditions for consistent reliability in every operating environment.

UV Boosting by Helios Verger

Helios Verger uses UV-C light to naturally strengthen fruit trees' immune defenses, reducing scab, mildew and fungal diseases.
Mounted on standard tractors, this chemical-free technology protects yield and fruit quality while cutting fungicide use significantly.

Aerobotics

Aerobotics offers digital decision support for spraying, harvesting, and yield estimation using proprietary computer vision technology

TrueFruit provides accurate, objective measurements of fruit size, color, and quality, using smartphone imagery to track fruit size, color and quality informing when to spray, or when to harvest, as well as tracking the results of certain spray applications.
Aerobotics’ Drone Scan uses high-resolution visual and multispectral imagery to measure tree health and canopy, and to produce health zones for variable-rate spray application strategies.

Rethinkline

We are an innovative Italian start-up that brings artificial intelligence to where the farm works: in the field and in the warehouse.
At Interpoma we present our solution for monitoring and managing the apple orchard with a focus on crop protection: with smart glasses or a phone the technician surveys hands-free, image analysis counts and measures the fruit and proposes the visible symptoms, the agronomist prescribes with authorised products and the dose for the plot, the crews carry out the work and the field record is filled in from the field.
Dedicated models on local servers, data that stays with the farm. From the photo to the treatment, with proof.

1- AgriApp

App for smartphones and smart glasses

The technician records photos, videos and voice notes hands-free, with position and time, even without network coverage. Every record is linked to the plot and the operator; notes are transcribed, faces and number plates are blurred automatically.
The same tool is used to report symptoms in the field, document a treatment and check at the next visit what has been done. It works with the phone the operator already has; the glasses are optional.

2- AgriArchive

AI image analysis and digital agronomist

Photos and videos of the orchard become numbers and maps: fruits counted and measured tree by tree, colour, size, ripening, defects and visible symptoms of disorders (apple scab, spots, bitter pit) proposed by the analysis and confirmed by the technician.
The agronomist prescribes from the portal with the catalogue of authorised plant protection products: dose for the plot, pre-harvest and re-entry intervals read from the label, recommendations, signed prescription. Analysis on dedicated servers, models trained on the farm's own data, no public AI service.

3- AgriManagement

Field operations and field record

The activities prescribed by the agronomist reach the crews ready to be assigned: who, where, when, with which product and dose.
Execution is logged from the field with position and photos; the field record fills itself in, with the earliest harvest date and re-entry time calculated for every treatment and alerts on expired or withdrawn products.
Map of the plots with the work done, costs per plot, reports and a time-stamped archive.

OptiMist

OptiMist is a multispectral optical sensor system designed to make spraying in orchards and vineyards more efficient. The system detects the presence, density and structure of vegetation in real time and uses this information to automatically adapt product application to the actual characteristics of each plant.
This makes it possible to reduce pesticide use and waste by excluding or limiting application in areas where vegetation is absent or requires less product. OptiMist is designed to be integrated into both new and existing air-blast sprayers.
