Plant-level yield & quality
forecasts—weeks ahead
YieldWize fuses advanced sensor-based technology with computer vision to give greenhouse growers real-time answers on volume, ripeness, and internal fruit health before costly mistakes happen.
Forecast errors cost growers millions every season.
Over-forecasting
- Lose contracts when you cannot ship promised tonnage
- Scramble to buy from the open market at a premium
- Reputation damage that sticks
Under-forecasting
- Overflow inventory sold at a discount
- Wasted labor, nutrients, and shelf space
- Significant amounts of edible produce never leave the greenhouse
One rugged unit. Two data streams. Triple the accuracy.
| Step | What happens | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Sense | Our ceiling-mounted unit scans each row using advanced sensor-based technology for internal signals and RGB-D cameras for external growth cues. | Captures fruit count, size, water content, and early rot in a single pass. |
| 2. Predict | Proprietary ML models blend both data sets and historical climate info to forecast yield and quality up to 4 weeks ahead. | Turns noisy daily metrics into clear, actionable numbers. |
| 3. Act | Insights flow to your dashboard or API: staffing plans, contract volumes, harvest timing. | Decisions move from reactive to proactive, saving time, money, and food. |

How YieldWize Works
Our system combines advanced sensors with powerful AI to give you an unprecedented view of your crops.
Plug-and-play hardware
- Mounts directly to existing greenhouse trusses, requiring no custom infrastructure.
Plant-level granularity
- Pinpoint weak zones and get insights for individual plants, not just house-wide averages.
API-first integration
- Push your data directly into PRIVA, Hoogendoorn, or your own custom BI stack with ease.
Subscription model
- A simple annual fee per acre that includes all hardware, software, and support. No hidden costs.
Our Multi-Modal Advantage
Computer vision is powerful, but it only tells half the story. We fuse it with proprietary sensing technology to create a complete, data-rich picture of crop health and potential.
External Vision
Our computer vision models detect, count, and classify every fruit and flower in your greenhouse, providing unparalleled data on load, ripening stage, and harvest readiness.
Internal Sensing
Our unique sensors analyze internal fruit physiology, measuring key quality indicators like ripeness and moisture content.
Early Disease Detection
By fusing both data streams, we can identify internal rot and other quality issues days or weeks before they become visible.
