Fermata Overview
Fermata provides computer-vision solutions for crop producers. Combining industry-leading artificial intelligence with off-the-shelf digital camera technology, Fermata has developed Croptimus, a platform designed to detect pests and disease significantly earlier than human scouts. Fermata's computer-vision solution ensures early detection for farmers, who are alerted to issues in their production area. Fermata scans the crops 24/7, analyzing each plant to ensure it is healthy and pathogen-free. Use of Fermata technology reduces crop losses and significantly decreases the need for pesticide, chemical, and beneficial insect usage, saving the grower substantially on crop inputs and increasing harvests.
