What we build.
What's coming.
Alongside our regular operations, we actively research and develop new detection methods. Here is a transparent view of what's in the pipeline — from research to near-launch.
In-House AI Research
Models we train ourselves — on Lower Saxony's specific landscape, plants, and wildlife.
AI Weed Detection — Ragwort
Ragwort doesn't stop being dangerous once it's cut and dried — its liver-damaging alkaloids survive fully intact in hay and silage, and animals lose the bitter smell that normally makes them avoid the fresh plant in a pasture. That makes contaminated hay one of the most common causes of chronic, often irreversible liver poisoning in horses, and a real risk for cattle. Our custom-trained model flies the field before harvest and flags every plant it finds — on a map, with photos and coordinates.
Two-Phase Detection Roadmap
- Phase 1 — flowering stage (Jun–Sep): distinct yellow clusters, in active training now
- Target: ≥90% detection confidence per plant
- Phase 2 (planned): pre-flowering rosette stage — leaf shape only, no colour signal, a significantly harder and costlier model to train
- Data collection and validation ongoing with pasture owners across Lower Saxony
Planned Output (at launch)
- Field photos with every detected plant marked and a confidence score
- Interactive GPS map with ±2 cm RTK coordinate per plant
- Infested area in m², density heatmap
- CSV / GeoJSON for precision spray systems
- PDF report — ready for authority notification, or to document a ragwort-checked field for hay buyers
Who This Helps
- Hay producers & sellers — document your fields before harvest and back your marketing with real field data
- Horse & livestock owners — horses are especially vulnerable; catch contamination before it reaches the paddock or the barn
- Pasture & landowners — meet regional control obligations and get ahead of reseeding (100,000+ seeds per plant, viable in soil for up to 20 years)
