Blue River Technology - Smart Agricultural Machines

Building smart farm machines to manage crops at a plant-level Today, the best practice is to treat all plants as if they have the same needs. See & Spray changes this paradigm, empowering growers to make every individual plant count at scale. Using computer vision and artificial intelligence, our smart machines can detect, identify, and make management decisions about every single plant in the field. Revolutionizing weed control in a world of herbicide resistance With the rise of herbicide-tolerant weeds, there are fewer and fewer effective solutions. Farmers around the world need a new way to address the weed control challenge. Introducing See & Spray: precisely spraying herbicidesonly where needed, and with exactly what's needed Our smart machines give farmers a new way to control and prevent herbicide-resistant weeds, while also eliminating 90% of the herbicide volumes that growers spray today. Our smart machines We use computer vision & machine learning to power our award-winning See & Spray equipment Sense & Decide Computer vision sees every plant and determines appropriate treatment for each Massive libraries of plant images enable our machine's unparalleled ability to distinguish subtle differences between cotton plants and weeds of many species and sizes See & Spray does not rely on spacing or color to identify weeds - it intelligently and instantaneously recognizes the difference between plants even in conditions that would challenge the human eye Act Robotic nozzles automatically target unwanted weeds as the machine passes With great accuracy and precision, See & Spray applies herbicide only to weeds, avoiding chemical application on the cotton crop or on areas without weeds We empower growers to use effective herbicide alternatives to actually control weeds that would otherwise be resistant; precise action also means that growers can reduce chemical usage by a magnitude Verify & Learn See & Spray assesses the applied herbicide, makes adjustments, and learns as it goes In a unique "closed-loop" cycle, our technology includes a second set of cameras and the ability to automatically check its work as it operates See & Spray is constantly gathering data on the tens of thousands of plants in each field, so that its software can continue improving in service to our growers
