Pushing Boundaries in Crop Insights

HarvestEye’s exhibit highlighted the transformative power of its machine learning-driven technology. Known for delivering precise visibility into crop size, shape, and mapping variability, the system has evolved to serve growers, packers, and processors more effectively.

By enabling growers to count and size crops on-site, this innovation saves time and enhances pre-harvest decision-making. The handheld device drew significant interest from attendees, who praised its ability to extend the system’s utility into the field.
