Agrobit — Agrobit develops digital farming solutions based on imaging (smartphone, drones) to help farmers getting better decision in agro-inputs management. The flagship product is the mobile app iAgro, the first quantitative Decision Support System to optimize pesticide treatments and digitize crops (digital twin) quickly and easily just using asmartphone. The competitive advantages are to provide information unobtainable from other technologies (field sensors, satellites), the use of proprietary AR, AI and computer vision algorithms and the possibility to reach a huge number of users that cannot make high investments but are the majority in Europe (small/medium farms). The app uses AR to 3D-scan plants (tree crops) and in-cloud AI and computer vision algorithms to re-create the 3D model (digital twin) of the scanned plant, in order to calculate its biometrics (canopy thickness, height, volume), vigor parameter (LAI) and field parameters (LWA, TRV). Finally, a mathematical model estimates the correct pesticide doses to be distributed.
