FARMWAVE

FARMWAVE is an agricultural technology company that builds computer-vision software for harvest machinery. Its system uses cameras to spot and count grain lost during harvest without stopping the combine.

What FARMWAVE does

• Harvest loss monitoring: cameras photograph the ground and machine outlets, and the software separates loss at the header from loss at the rear of the combine.
• Farmbook tablet: a rugged tablet that runs the software at the edge, fitted with one to six cameras depending on the crop and machine.
• Offline operation: data is collected without a connection and uploaded once the machine is back online.
• Data export: results can be exported as JSON for use in other tools.

Clients

The product is aimed at farmers and machinery operators. The company says it works with any make and model of combine and reports partnerships with major agricultural equipment and seed companies. It also mentions dealer locations in seven countries.

Key facts

• Product type: standalone system that does not depend on the combine maker
