Seed-X Overview
Seed-X develops machine vision technology with customized deep learning algorithms for seed breeding and production cycles. For seed companies and seed producers, Seed-X applies a proprietary seed-by-seed sorting mechanism to unveil hidden patterns. This data is then converted into new rating and selection criteria, allowing superior seeds to be identified. Seed-X provides its proprietary deep learning algorithms to sort out (seed by seed) low quality and unqualified seed and grain and upgrade each lot to fulfil its maximum potential. Seed-X was one of the winners of the 2019 AgFunder AgriFood Tech Innovation Awards.
