Skymaps’ ScoutAI is an autonomous crop monitoring platform designed to improve crop health management and field decision-making. The system has been selected as a finalist for the DLG Agrifuture Concept Winner Award and will be featured at AGRITECHNICA 2025, 9–15 November in Hanover.
ScoutAI combines data from satellites, drones, sprayers, and in-field sensors, giving farmers early insight into emerging issues. The system continuously monitors crops for stress, pest outbreaks, and weed infestations, then triggers drones for close-range inspection. Sprayer-mounted cameras and soil and crop sensors provide in-field measurements, feeding into the CultiWise cloud platform for real-time analysis.
By integrating previously standalone sensors, ScoutAI enables precise, needs-based interventions, reducing over-application of fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides. Resource efficiencies are substantial: up to 50% savings in fertilizer, herbicide, and water, and over 60% reduction in pesticide use. Automated monitoring also decreases labor and scouting time, providing continuous surveillance across the farm.
“ScoutAI delivers a reliable, multi-angle view of crop health, helping farmers act before problems escalate,” said Kornel Cziria, CTO of Skymaps. “It fuses data from diverse sources to provide actionable intelligence for every hectare.”
ScoutAI is globally adaptable, compatible with multiple equipment brands, and built on the CultiWise cloud platform, which also supports Zoneye, an AI system capable of detecting 37 weed species with centimetre-level precision. Pilot programs are underway on large-scale farms, with early feedback confirming the system’s value in improving field decision-making.
ScoutAI and Zoneye will be presented at AGRITECHNICA 2025, Hall 9, Stand H35.
