See a 360° View
of Your Crop

While Croptimus does indeed include 2D mapping of pest and disease incidents within your facility, it's often far easier to just take a look at the canopy yourself. Croptimus makes grower's lives easier by overlaying incident icons right on top of your crop. Simply click and drag to see a 360º view of your crop and click on the icons to drill down to see all the details — how cool is that?!

Find Persistent Problems

With Croptimus heat maps, you're never left wondering where the source of the problems lie. Track the spread of pests or disease over time and even discover where there may be problems with your growing area itself.

Sustainability is Key at Fermata 

Our solutions use image data captured from cameras to automate scouting, providing the earliest pest & disease detection and identification, track pests & pathogens over time so you can evaluate your mitigation efforts, and monitor plant growth. Our Croptimus™ platform reduces crop losses and significantly decreases the need for pesticide and chemical usage. So, not only are you saving on crop losses and remediation for the crop you ultimately harvest, but you are also saving all the energy, labour, and crop inputs associated with crops you would have otherwise lost — great for the grower's bottom line, and the planet!

What our clients are saying
"

Early detection of incidents focuses the treatment area, increases our efficiency, and saves money. The system discovered pests and various plant anomalies numerous times before the IPM employee came in for their weekly examination. Fermata is the guardian angel of our farm!

I had 5 or 6 guys in my scouting group that were constantly complaining: "my head hurts, my eyes hurt... this is ridiculous." So to get [scouting] on an A.I. schedule, was in my opinion, one of the smartest decisions you could have [made]. You guys are far ahead of the curve. I think that is genius.

Maintaining crop quality, consistency, and yield is very challenging when you aren’t growing in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse. And as you might imagine, manually scouting 3 acres for signs of pests and disease which affect all three of these factors is a very time-consuming, and error-prone task. That’s why when Fermata approached us with an automated solution to address the problem we were all ears!

It’s remarkable how much less time we spend on wandering the greenhouse, looking for problems that might or might not be there. It’s not that just that me and my guys spend less time on scouting now, what I also appreciate is the peace of mind the system gives me. It’s great to know someone is looking after my plants at all times!

As a venture capital fund, Raw frequently gets pitches to consider from a wide variety of start-ups. Right from the start we knew Fermata’s was different. Offering a solution that both makes growers lives easier, and their companies more profitable, was clearly a win-win proposition. We have just committed to further investment in Fermata, and look forward to a bright future in partnership with them.

As former head of R&D at Biobest in Israel, I’ve seen a lot of pest and disease solutions come and go, but Fermata’s has actually changed how I currently work as a crop consultant. Instead of wasting time identifying the source of the problem, now I can focus on mitigation, and actually finding the root causes — saving my clients both substantial time and money.
