HarvestEye’s New Handheld Version to be Revealed at Fruit Logistica 2024

HarvestEye, a machine learning-driven crop insights tool, will be showcasing at Fruit Logistica 2024 on the global agronomy stage, offering novel compatibility to the worldwide fresh produce industry.

HarvestEye, which mounts to harvesting or grading machinery, is a cost-effective means to provide information on crop size, shape, and mapping variations through a daily report and an internet portal.

“The HarvestEye team has continued to train its machine learning model following the launch of its refreshed 2.0 system at Fruit Logistica 2023, which featured more than 2,600 exhibitors from 140 countries, with 63,000 trade visitors attending over the three days. Trial and development over the past year have led to the system now being compatible with different varieties of onions, in addition to potatoes,” according to a recent press release.

In addition to developing a machine learning model, HarvestEye plans to release a new portable version of the program. Customers may count and size crops before harvest during test digs by utilizing the system's power and data knowledge.

“HarvestEye 2.0 delivers faster crop measurement and more accurate data collection than its predecessor and we’ve received immensely positive feedback from growers during last year’s harvests about the usefulness and usability of the system. We’ve also listened to our customers, by launching the all-new HarvestEye Handheld, enabling customers to save time during their pre-harvest yield digs and further increasing utilization of the technology. We are looking forward to continuing our dialogue with growers, packers, and processors this year as we expand HarvestEye into new regions with distributorship opportunities available,” Harry Tinson, general manager at HarvestEye, mentioned.

Vidyanath (Vee) Gururajan, managing director of HarvestEye, added that Fruit Logistica is an incredible opportunity for farming innovators to showcase how machine learning and the wider field of artificial intelligence can provide unprecedented actionable insights.

“These tools no longer limit users to act on field sampling, but offer full crop visibility to improve decision making and supply chain confidence through increased visibility and reduced wastage,” Gururajan also declared.

HarvestEye will be exhibiting in Hall 3.1 Stand C-31 at Fruit Logistica alongside other innovators in farming machinery and technology.
