FruitScope is Orchard Robotics integrated precision crop management platform for fruit growers. It combines tractor-mounted AI camera hardware with cloud-based software to collect and analyze fruit-level data across trees, vines, and plants throughout the growing season.
The platform includes FruitScope Vision for AI-powered imaging, FruitScope Vault for farm data management, and FruitScope OS for decision-making software. The company is also developing Canary, an AI system for autonomous farm decision-making.
The precision agriculture market for specialty crops is growing as labor shortages and sustainability pressures drive demand for data-driven farming solutions. Orchard Robotics targets the multi-billion dollar fruit and vegetable data market, which the company estimates at $1.5 billion today.
Future AI advancements could enable autonomous decision-making across farm operations, significantly expanding the addressable market. Orchard Robotics aims to evolve from data collection to owning all farm workflows, similar to how Flock Safety expanded from license plate recognition to a broader public safety platform.
Orchard Robotics captures ultra-high-resolution images of every tree and fruit, providing precision data that replaces manual sampling methods used by most large farms. Its AI models analyze fruit size, color, and health across hundreds of millions of fruit per season.
The company integrates hardware and software into a unified platform, giving growers a complete system-of-record for farm data. Its technology is already used by major apple and grape growers across the United States, with expansion to blueberries, cherries, almonds, and other crops.
