Growers worldwide are losing money, fruit, and sleep over a problem that's getting worse every season.
of Produce Never Gets Harvested
NRDC report: 20% of US produce is unharvested. Globally, millions of tonnes of fruit rot in the field due to labour shortages.
Lost to Unpicked Fruit Each Season
Based on ABARES crop loss data and Hort Innovation rubus production values, raspberries and blackberries alone lose over $25 million worth of fruit each season to labour shortages.
Productivity Growth in Decades
While every other industry has automated, berry picking productivity hasn't improved. Same baskets. Same walking. Same waste.
An autonomous platform that follows your pickers through crop rows, carrying punnets and cold storage directly for them. Pickers pick straight into punnets on the platform. No buckets, less sorting, no double handling.
Three steps. Zero complexity.
3D cameras track each picker and the platform follows through the row.
Pickers fill punnets directly on the moving platform, removing bucket retrieval and later sorting.
Filled punnets go straight into onboard refrigeration, reducing heat exposure.
Proven productivity today, with further improvements already in development.
Commercial testing proved 18% more berries were picked per hour. After that efficiency upgrade, weighing and packing still took an additional 20% of worker time. Our latest R&D will carve out a large chunk of this additional time.
18% proven + 20% in the R&D pipeline = 38% total opportunity.
