Agri-tech

As equipment becomes more sophisticated and expensive, so the need for efficiency improvement intensifies. Increasingly, these enhancements are data-driven.

We use our system design experience across multiple disciplines to develop precision agriculture technologies, from metering and mixing systems, novel and highly precise sensors to low-cost wireless networks and data analysis platforms. 

Growers of all sizes face the challenge of producing more, from less resources. Furthermore, global labour shortages are necessitating ever greater levels of automation.

Our skills in machine learning and AI allow us to develop new methods to better predict yields and improve forecasting, while our expertise in robotics is enhancing the automation of harvesting, allowing growers to do more with less and stay one step ahead of demand. 

Minimising waste and reducing unwanted side effects from chemical treatment have become increasingly important in the face of changing consumer demands and ever-tightening regulations.

Drawing on our skills in fluid dynamics and sensor technology, and our work in drug delivery, we devise methods for delivering treatments more effectively.

Additionally, we provide strategic consulting on the impact of digital farming techniques and the implications for next-generation products and services. 

Our technically focused, commercially driven teams uncover novel solutions to long-standing challenges. Unlike academic research facilities, we focus on commercialising technology, creating robust, relevant products and services that are economically viable for large-scale deployment.

Drawing on our experience across the full spectrum of markets, we are uniquely positioned to design, develop and deliver solutions that leverage principles proven in adjacent industries.

By using our skills and experience to complement our clients’ deep industry knowledge, we create step-change products and services that maximise efficiency through reduced costs and improved yields.
