🌱 Cauliflower is one of the top brassicas grown in California. Wide interplant spacing makes it a perfect candidate for ground-engaging precision weeding. In the first section of this video, our Vulcan precision weeder is running at 1.4 mph. 🎥 Rogelio Medrano & Miguel Arredondo #agtech #computervision #cauliflower #precisionweeding #AI #CVML

About us
At FarmWise we believe that farming can be done at the plant level at scale leveraging the diversity of biological systems. Our team wants to enable farmers and ag equipment makers to reinvent farming operations with machines that can perceive, understand and act at the plant level in real-time. For years, FarmWise operated a commercial fleet of automated weeder prototypes across the greater Salinas Valley in California. After over 20,000 acres of commercial weeding and associated learnings, FarmWise released its Vulcan precision implement in 2023. Vulcan is a unique intra-row weeder and precision cultivator designed for durability and efficient weeding. Vulcan is powered by FarmWise's Intelligent Plant System (IPS), the most advanced computer vision architecture made for agricultural applications.

Throwback Friday! We had an incredible time at our annual company BBQ in Salinas a few weeks ago! We got together with family and friends to celebrate all the hard work the team has put in over the past year and ahead of a busy summer. Safe to say, the kids enjoyed the slide all day. Thank you to our own Shawna Berriatua for organizing such a great event. #teamwork #bbq #farming #agtech #teambuilding #precisionfarming #events #agriculture #cvml #ai

🛠 We have a new plasma cutting table in our fabrication shop! Thanks to the latest and greatest software and hardware by STV CNC - Plasma Cutting Tables, we can now cut thicker and larger parts at a much higher speed, allowing us to drastically speed up the pace at which we cut weeding blades and cultivation knives for new deliveries of our Vulcan precision weeder. Having tools like this in-house is just one way we are able to support our customers with speed and efficiency 💪 🎥 Video by Jesus Alcantar & Shoutout to our incredible fab team jonathan perez, Ronald De La Cruz and Oscar Pena. #fabshop #farming #welding #agtech

Thanks, The Robot Report and Mike Santora for this article! “Farmers know the optimal depth for weeder blades to effectively remove weeds while avoiding root damage, and we wanted to empower farmers by allowing them to adjust blade depth according to their preference for deeper, more effective weeding or shallower weeding to protect crop roots." - David Olivero, a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the FarmWise team, discusses the philosophy behind the individual blade depth control system on our Vulcan precision weeder. #AgTech #PrecisionFarming #CVML #Agriculture #Innovation https://lnkd.in/g_SXdFnu

💡 Feature Update! Our Vulcan Precision Weeder supports many additional tools for soil engagement including squirrel cages 🐿 🌱 Squirrel cages are a great addition to our precision weeding toolkit, specifically in hard soils. By cracking these hard soils into smaller pieces at the surface, the cages break up tough clods of dirt and even out the bed top. Squirrel cages can be used on the front, like in this video, or the rear, depending on preferences and setup. You can see here a video of a customer-operated Vulcan precision weeder running squirrel cages on the toolbar at the front in decomposed granite soil conditions. 📽 video credits to Diego Alcantar. #precisionfarming #farming #agtech #agriculture

🍅 Day 1 of field testing Vulcan, FarmWise’s precision weeder, with processing #tomatoes in Huron, CA. We pushed performance to the max with speeds up to 2.5mph on these big tomato plants while still maintaining extremely high weeding quality through the accuracy of FarmWise’s IPS Vision System. Kudos to our testing team led by Neil Abranyi for a successful field validation work and demos with 10 different growers from the region. Processing tomatoes offer a complex plant structure that can make crop and center stem localization challenging. Our success is a testament to the power of our IPS vision system and our #MachineLearning pipeline: a rigorous data collection, image annotation, and model training effort. Shoutout to our ML team for the great strides in making Vulcan a success in a wide variety of crops including processing tomatoes 🌱 🚀 #PrecisionFarming #AI #CVML #FoundationModel #AgTech
