RevScout

RevScout Field Cameras

RevScout field cameras are our in-house developed technology that is used for mapping the density of flowers and fruit in orchards by driving it with an ATV through the orchard rows. Maps are created in real-time for calibration directly after the survey.

The RevScout Field Cameras

RevScout is a field camera system that uses machine vision to detect fruit and flowers. RevScouts can be mounted on ATVs and powered through a car charger port. Real-time processing means that the simple start-stop interface allows anyone to easily complete a survey in a matter of minutes.

RevScout Surveys

A RevScout unit is secured at the front of an ATV and is then driven down each row. The cameras looking left and right of the driver directly at the canopy count all the fruit per photo it can see and saves the GPS position and all counts. After the survey the driver select the sync option where the data is sent via sim card or wifi to the RevToolbox dashboard

Calibrating RevScout data

The Maps created from RevScouts are uncalibrated variation maps. On the RevToolbox Platform, we can create ground truthing points. Counting as little as 8 to 12 trees' fruit by hand can create maps of up to 90% accuracy for Yield Estimations or Variable Rate Application Maps

Yield Estimations and Management

Predicting the minimum size of the fruit that will reach size by harvest, in the season, allows for data-driven thinning programs.

Fruit Sizing

Fruit Size Monitoring

Using Digital Calipers connected to field loggers, producers easily take weekly measurements of fruit size in the field. Using historical measurements we create growth models to predict fruit size at harvest.

Digital Calipers

Easy to use Digital callipers that measure fruit size with click action, and saves data per block

Current Fruit Size

Several graphs and reporting formats to inspect current fruit size, and compare with other blocks and previous seasons.

Predicted Fruit Size

Our models are based on a per cultivar, per region level to use the best available historical data to predict fruit size at harvest. Easily compare predicted distribution with farm/packhouse targets.

Thinning Calculator

Predicting the minimum size of the fruit that will reach size by harvest, in the season, allows for data-driven thinning programs.

EMI Soil Scanning

Electromagnetic Induction Soil scanning is a tool used to quickly map changes in soil electrical conductivity across a production area in detail. These maps are used to plan soil surveys and block development.

EMI Soil Scanning Tech

Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) soil scanning is a technology that uses electromagnetic waves to measure the amount of electrical conductance (EC) of the soil below the soil surface. The tool consists of a pipe with an induction coil and three receivers that measure soil EC at three depths at once.

Scanning an orchard

An EMI probe is placed in a sled behind an ATV and dragged across the soil surface. As the probe moves along it takes 2 measurements a second sending a pulse into the soil and measuring the EC of the soil at 25, 50 and 90 cm soil depth. All three depths measurement is then saved with the GPS position.

Soil Sampling from EMI maps

Soil EC readings are affected by changes in soil texture, rock fractions, and the presence of salts. This means the maps show where there is soil variation and soil physical and chemical samples can be planned accordingly. This sampling allows targeted samples of where there is most likely to be crop limiting factors.

Precision Orchard Planning

After soil sampling has been completed and the EC maps can be combined with soil physical and chemical maps to plan drainage and irrigation block layout. Chemical rectifications can also be done with defined soil boundaries and not coarse interpolation between grid samples.

Satcrop

Crop Health Mapping

Utilizing cameras on satellites we get updated crop health and moisture stress maps every 5 days. These maps show where there are differences in photosynthetic activity across orchards and where weak and strong vegetative growth is.

EMI and FruitMappig

New Satellite Data Every 5 Days

Explore the last 4 years' maps. The graph shows the average health index per block over time of all images taken. This helps you choose the perfect timing of photos for your investigation into block performance

Combine Date Ranges

Choose the most important phenological stage for the crop and create always timely maps for inspection. By selecting a date range you can get an average over-time map that represents canopy health at fruitset or ripening.

Open in Google Earth

Inspect underperforming areas by downloading any map to Google Earth and doing in-field inspection with your phones GPS.

Precision Fertilizer Maps

Create Precision fertilizers maps with three clicks. GPS based spreaders controls the amount of fertilizer this spread across the orchard floor.
