Polly™ Robot; Greenhouse Monitoring System
Polly+, the world's first robot successfully replicating buzz pollination. Arugga AI Farming’s pollination technology has been deployed in commercial greenhouses in Australia, Europe and America, showing results as good as and up to 20% higher yield versus manual pollination. Growers witnessed results as good as and up to 5% higher yield than bumblebees. Equipped with cameras and AI-based computer vision, Polly+ recognizes flowers ready for pollination. The air-pressure mechanism then applies calibrated air pulses to the selected flower. A non-contact solution preventing the spread of diseases by bees Avoids the challenges faced by bees in greenhouses equipped with LED lighting Enables the use of UV screening to decrease pest stress One Polly+ enables growers to pollinate one full hectare One operator can manage a fleet of up to 20 robots Advanced data collection, including flower-level insights, early pest detection and real-time plant health monitoring
Arugga X ViewNetic:
Pest and Disease Detection By monitoring all plants daily we will provide growers with early information on outbreaks and enable immediate local treatment, although later on this will be provided by the robots themselves. This will serve to reduce costs, losses and the amount of pesticides used.
