Bringing Artificial Intelligence into agricultural fields isn’t just about training algorithms to recognize clusters, leaves, and fruits. It’s about making sure those algorithms actually work, in the heart of the season, in dusty conditions, under scorching sun, with spotty internet, vintage tractors, and slopes worthy of a Giro d’Italia stage.
That’s exactly why we created the QUALYfruit on-the-go kit: a complete, ready-to-use system designed to simplify one of the most delicate phases in the entire AI-in-agriculture process — collecting and transferring images. Because without high-quality images, no model can deliver real value.
A kit born in the field
Why a kit? Because anyone who works with AI knows the hardest part isn’t always what you expect. Between the algorithm and a useful result lie countless obstacles: uncooperative cables, firewalls blocking transfers, dead power banks, mounts that don’t fit the tractor of the day.
The QUALYfruit on-the-go Kit was born right there, in the field, after hours of testing in vineyards and orchards, learning from both failures and successes. The result? A practical, adaptable, no-frills solution that turns any agricultural vehicle, even a legendary Panda 4×4, into a mobile data collection platform.
What’s in the kit?
No bells and whistles, just everything you need to work independently and reliably:
- a preconfigured camera to capture high-quality images;
- a mini PC with display, for automatic data transfer and cloud upload;
- a powerbank, to stay operational even without power outlets;
- three mounting systems (clamp, suction cup, tubular mount), designed to fit any type of agricultural vehicle.
The point isn’t the individual components, but the user experience: you mount the camera, go about your usual field tasks, like spraying or inspections, plug the device into the mini PC, press a button… and the images are ready for analysis.
What comes after the kit? The platform
The kit is just the beginning. Image collection is a crucial step, but it’s the QUALYfruit platform that turns those images into real value. That’s where our AI comes in: a robust platform, designed to operate under real-world conditions and provide precise answers to those making decisions in the field.
The system handles the entire pipeline:
- collects, processes, and organizes data;
- analyzes images, isolating only what matters;
- accurately segments clusters, leaves, flowers, or fruits, even in challenging light conditions;
- produces georeferenced heatmaps and quantitative indicators useful to growers, winemakers, and agronomists
A complete data-to-decision pipeline, from the field to the cloud, designed for vineyard and orchard professionals focused on productivity, quality, and sustainability.
Smarter, faster, more sustainable decisions
Today, QUALYfruit (kit + platform) is used by wine and fruit producers for various applications throughout the production cycle:
- Quality analysis
AI detects damage or defects directly from images — problems that could affect the final quality of wine or produce. The geolocated results allow for targeted, faster, and more effective interventions. - Early detection of leaf diseases
Diseases like powdery mildew and downy mildew are detected before they spread, enabling timely treatments and reducing the use of pesticides. - Yield estimation
During various phenological stages, the system analyzes the presence and characteristics of clusters or fruits, supporting efficient planning of harvest, processing, and logistics.
In every use case, the goal is the same: In every use case, the goal is the same: organize harvests more precisely, reduce waste, and plan downstream processes more objectively.
