FieldScan High-Throughput Greenhouse & Field Phenotyping

FieldScan is a platform for ultra-high-throughput field phenotyping and Greenhouse phenotyping under all weather conditions. The platform enables capacities of tens of thousands of plants or plots with a scanning capacity of 5,000 plants or higher per hour.

  • End to end solution, automated scanning, parameters & analytics
  • High resolution
  • Morphological & Spectral data e.g. plant Height or Color
  • 20+ plant parameters each scan
  • visualize & analyze data with HortControl
  • (Precision) Irrigation optional with DroughtSpotter
  • Gravimetric dataoptional with DroughtSpotter
  • Environmental data optional with our weather station

Use FieldScan in plant research or breeding and combine high-precision phenotyping with high throughput. Improve the quality of your field research with an entire new dimension of plant data.

Easy to use
FieldScan and HortControl can be used by people with all backgrounds.

  • Easy set up of complex experimental design with HortControl
  • Easy operation, FieldScan only requires a start and stop signal
  • Fully automated scanning, day and night
  • Fully automated plant data analytics with HortControl

Irrigation solutions 
Irrigation units can be added to the carrier device for top-down irrigation. Precision Irrigation on a large scale is possible in combination with our FieldScales.

FieldScan data:

FieldScan is able to the following sensors to collect data. Our main sensor to collect plant parameters is PlantEye.

  • PlantEye for growth & health data (20+ parameters)
  • FieldScales (optional) Precision irrigation & weight data
  • Weather Station (optional) for environmental data

PlantEye scans the plants and delivers:

  • 3D source file with spectral data
  • 20+ Plant parameters in open source format
