A weekly cadence with weekly blind spots
Zabartek had a weekly visit cadence from an external scouting team – the industry standard for greenhouse pest monitoring.
Reliable, but expensive in both time and money. And blind for six days out of seven.
Side-by-side benchmark
The grower ran Croptimus alongside the existing scouting rounds for a two-month pilot. Cameras over the zones, daily AI detections compared against the human team’s weekly reports.
No changes to the scouting cadence – Croptimus ran in parallel as a benchmark, not a replacement.
Three weeks of damage avoided
Croptimus matched the external team on every routine detection – and surfaced one critical pest issue 3 weeks earlier than the next scheduled visit. Three weeks of damage the grower didn’t absorb.
Post-pilot, Zabartek cut scouting visits by 50 % without compromising crop health, redirecting the saved hours into other operational priorities.
