About
Fotenix embeds monitoring intelligence into greenhouses and packhouses. We use multispectral imaging and AI to detect pre-symptomatic stress, pests and disease in glasshouses. In the packhouse, our system picks up bruising, splits and defects under the skin, before they are visible to human graders.
AUTOMATED CROP SCOUTING: Each night, Fotenix measures how every plant reflects light and builds that into a plant-by-plant picture of health, a digital version of your canopy that flags the earliest signs of stress and disease, enabling growers to target interventions, improve yield forecast accuracy, and protect margins.
AUTOMATED QUALITY CONTROL: Our AQC sits over your existing conveyor and images each item as it passes. Defective fruit is flagged, and results are reported by batch, variety and source. Over a season, you can see which sites send the most defects and help inform refinements to their growing strategies, anticipate shelf life, evaluate Brix and firmness, and catch defects before they’re visible.
We've all seen plenty of promising kit fail because it asked growers to change how they work. Fotenix was built to fit existing infrastructure, can be up and running within a few days, and slots into the routines teams already run. Farming is hard enough, we're making it easier with AI.
