FarmDefender™ · see-and-spray

Spray the weed.
Not the field.

RGB cameras on the boom watch the ground as you move. On-machine AI identifies every weed in real time — no cloud, no connectivity required. Each nozzle fires only where it needs to. The rest of your tank is still full when you're done.

What changes

Most of your field doesn't need to be sprayed. Now it isn't.

Blanket spraying treats every square foot the same. FarmDefender sprays only the weeds — which means most of your tank is still full when you're done.

Spray the weed. Leave the field alone.

Most fallow and pre-emergence fields are mostly empty ground. The math only moves one direction when you stop treating bare soil the same as a weed.

Cleaner crops

Less drift. Less overlap. Less chemical on plants you didn't intend to hit. The weeds you sprayed are gone. Everything else is untouched.

As-applied records

GPS-mapped detection logs every weed identified, every nozzle activation recorded. Real data on what got sprayed, where, and how much you saved — straight into FarmIQ™.

How it runs

One pass. Weeds only.

Every component runs on the machine. Once the system is calibrated for your field conditions, you drive. The AI does the rest.

  1. 01
    Cameras scan as you move

    RGB cameras mounted along the boom read the field continuously at field speed — up to 10 mph.

  2. 02
    On-machine AI identifies targets

    Green on brown — weeds against fallow or pre-emergence soil. Inference runs on the machine, not in a data center. No cell signal required.

  3. 03
    Individual nozzle control

    Only the nozzles directly over confirmed detections fire. Not section control — nozzle-by-nozzle precision.

  4. 04
    GPS maps every target

    Each detection is logged with coordinates, timestamp, and nozzle activation data — as-applied records for compliance and ROI tracking.

  5. 05
    FarmIQ™ gets everything

    Detection logs, nozzle activations, and as-applied data sync every pass. Your spray history builds season over season.

deployment — live now

Hardware, model training, edge inference stack, field wiring, nozzle control — all built from zero by one team. It's live on customer booms. That's not a pilot. That's a shipping product.

The backstory

Built from scratch. Running in fields.

One team. Hardware to software to model training — all of it purpose-built for this problem. It's in Season 1 commercial deployment on customer booms in 2026. Early customers get hands-on tuning support directly from the engineering team.
