The potential of digital applications in agriculture generates enthusiasm about the future of food production among technologists and is a cause for uncertainty among others. But for many farm managers, the time has come to adapt, and the race to adopt (or develop) the best technology will determine the future of humankind.

Croptracker’s Harvest Quality Vision (HQV) has been successfully scanning apples, oranges, peaches, nectarines and other similarly shaped orchard fruit to gather size and color data since its launch 4 years ago. We are now proud to announce HQV can scan pears and irregularly shaped fruit with the same high level of accuracy!

Many Agtech startups use remote sensing technology for a variety of farming applications. The use of drones and airplanes is becoming more common to provide field-level analysis. As is using globally available satellite data for large-scale analysis. Satellite data can also be combined with field information to create a complete picture of what's happening on the ground.
