Your departments of production, human resources, sales, and logistics need to make important decisions based on uncertain harvest predictions. Sometimes the deviations can be as much as 40%. And this generates major losses in terms of time and money.
That’s why we have developed On Fruit, an automatic system for counting fruit on the tree, to determine how much fruit you have in your orchards with 90-95% accuracy.
With this valuable data, you’ll be able to optimise all of your company’s processes. You’ll improve not only the management of your orchard, but also the organisation of all your departments. For example, you’ll make your sales decisions ahead of time , decrease your logistics expenses, and even reduce your HR costs.
With On Fruit, you’ll discover the advantages of process optimisation and make your company more profitable.
Find out how it works
On Fruit benefits every area of your company. By obtaining accurate data on your production, you’ll have the following advantages:
By knowing data such as fruit size and quantity, plant vigour, and the leafiness by zones, you’ll make the most appropriate decisions to manage each area of your orchard.
You’ll optimise your supplies: By determining the exact amount of irrigation, fertiliser, and phytosanitary products to apply, you’ll not only improve fruit quality and reduce your company’s costs, but also generate less waste.
You’ll have historical data, and you’ll be able to see the evolution of your fruit over the years.
You’ll be able to make faster decisions, allowing you to offer your clients more reliability and security.
You’ll optimise your field, picking, and harvesting personnel, and you’ll be able to hire workers ahead of time. This will result in cost savings.
You’ll be able to optimise your fleet and shipping forecasts. And your fruit will travel on time, in perfect condition.
You’ll manage cold chambers efficiently.
You’ll avoid overstocking with production and harvest materials, and you’ll optimise packaging.
Our work process starts in the field. We scan your orchards from row to row with a series of sensors mounted to a quad. We photograph the entire surface area of your orchard and then process the collected data using artificial-vision algorithms, georeferencing each piece of fruit.
That way, we get a complete map of your farm and data such as fruit size, fruit count on the tree, plant vigour, leafiness, and production zoning by height.
The results from different data-collection periods will always be available to the producer, and they can be accessed securely and privately on any device with an internet connection.

During the fruit-growth period, you’ll be able to see how your orchard is evolving and make the best production decisions.
During the pre-harvest period, you’ll access data that will support your sales and harvest strategy.
And finally, through your historical data, you’ll be able to view your orchard’s evolution over the years.
We work with apple orchards with multiple varieties, such as Envi, Fuji and Golden, among others, and we are pioneers when it comes to stone-fruit, citrus, and peach orchards, as well as table-grape vineyards. But that’s not all. We are always looking for technological solutions in order to add new species to our list. By refining the algorithms and camera position, we can determine the production of any fruit tree.
You’ll obtain real data on all the production in your orchard. The main challenge is counting the fruit hidden behind the leaves. We start with the assumption that the visible fruit is proportional to the unseen fruit. Through data analysis, we achieve final data that is 90-95% accurate.
On the contrary. Using precision agriculture lets you not only save money, but also boost the production and quality of your orchards.
Also, considering the advantages of process optimisation in the food industry, in terms of production, accounting, storage and logistics, our product is essential if you want to see a continuous improvement in your company’s financial results.
You’ll have data such as fruit size and quantity, plant vigour, and leafiness by area. That way, you’ll make the best decisions to manage each area of your orchard.
Also, you’ll learn about the evolution of your orchard over the years, enabling you to see trends and anticipate future decisions.
