The Plantalyzer, the grower’s instrument for the most accurate crop estimation.
In seven stories, we will tell you about the partners involved, the unique system, the very latest technology, the various components and how they work. With the Plantalyzer you will manage to get the most accurate crop estimation and solve the daily puzzle.
Story 1: The best technology for eliminating deltas between prediction and realisation
Do you know why the Plantalyzer was developed? A grower does not like uncertainties. Certainly not when it comes to harvesting and sales. Both during cultivation and harvest, a grower wants to be sure of sufficient sales available in the desired quality and to eliminate unreliable forecasts. Unreliable forecasts are the cause of corrective, cost-increasing interventions that prevent the delivery of a healthy product at the right price. In short, the grower wants to eliminate the deltas between the forecast and the realisation of his production.
AI models look for patterns and are therefore unable to predict sudden abnormal fluctuations. This is also true in tomato production where similar unexplained fluctuations occur. Growers do not have enough information available to make accurate year-round predictions. Especially the peaks and troughs are difficult to prognosticate; after the longest day of the year, it becomes increasingly difficult to predict accurately.
The best performing AI models simply do not have enough data to eliminate the deltas between prediction and realisation of production. The Plantalyzer is designed to eliminate these deltas by combining the best that technology has to offer: daily, large-scale plant data collection with the smartest AI models. This combination provides the grower with an advantage; it enables him to make the most accurate crop estimation.
Behind the Plantalyzer there are highly reputable companies in international greenhouse horticulture, each with their own expertise, which is incorporated in the Plantalyzer. Thanks to these combined expertises, the Plantalyzer is able to offer a total concept and can be developed further and further. In story 2, we will discuss the partner companies and their added value to the Plantalyzer system.
