Intelligent sensor system
for spraying only where needed

A high precision sensor system for agri sprayers

DAT Ecopatch uses Deep Learning Neural Network to find weeds. No spraying in areas with no weed will significantly reduce the amount of herbicides and cut costs. Non-sprayed crops seem to grow better.

 

Our field tests have shown:

Up to 90% herbicide reduction

Up to 9% yield increase

 

Benefits of precision spraying

Make your field sprayer intelligent

DAT Ecopatch is mounted directly on your existing sprayer equipment. The computer analyses the images in real time and decides whether it is beneficial to spray or not. DAT Ecopatch can be simply adjusted to spray at different thresholds based on the crop selected and conditions in your individual fields.

Fast and consistent camera

Patented sensor designed for harsh environments. Induced airstream prevents dust and spray mist to cover the lens. LED flashes several times stronger than the sunlight assures high quality images no matter the conditions; both night and day.

Artificial intelligence

Cutting edge deep learning algorithms ensure instant image analysis. The plants are classified into crop and weed in real time.

Monitor

DAT Ecopatch results can be just for real time monitoring of the field; See the images live on your phone, a tablet or device of your choice. Sprayng results and weed densities are made available for further insight and decisions support.

Better workflow

With reduced spraying each tank lasts longer. You  reduce the herbicide and water usage and cover more area in the same time as you don’t have to fill as often.

Why we do what we do

By 2050 the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion people. To feed them, food production must increase by 70 %. DAT is proud to accelerate progress towards SDG 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
