Fermata
Fermata is an AgriTech company delivering AI-powered plant monitoring solutions for commercial greenhouses. Its core product, Croptimus™, uses regular security cameras enhanced with computer vision. By zooming in to high levels of detail and resolution, we help growers detect pests and diseases at early stages and integrate AI-driven insights into daily crop management.
By combining high-resolution imagery with proprietary machine learning models, Fermata enables automated daily scouting across the entire greenhouse. Croptimus performs structured monitoring 365 days a year – without weekends, holidays or interruptions – preserving full historical data and visual crop dynamics over time.
Croptimus analyses visual plant data as it is collected, identifying early signs of pests and diseases once they become visible and before they spread across the facility. Instead of relying solely on manual scouting, growers gain systematic, consistent daily visibility across all monitored areas - without increasing the number of human scouts. The system allows growers to expand monitored areas and greenhouse capacity while maintaining control levels that would otherwise require hiring a large additional scouting team.
Fermata’s technology transforms greenhouse cameras into "smart eyes". Growers receive structured alerts, detailed images, maps and analytics that support targeted inspections and precise interventions. All observations are stored and accumulated, enabling trend tracking and a deeper understanding of crop development.
Most importantly, Fermata enables more balanced and economically sound decisions on plant protection treatments. Before intervention, growers use verified visual data and AI-supported analysis to determine exactly where treatment is needed and how it should be applied. After treatment, Fermata continues monitoring the specifically treated zones with high precision, allowing growers to evaluate treatment effectiveness and adjust strategy if necessary.
With Fermata, crop protection becomes truly data-driven – replacing blanket spraying and reactive decisions with targeted, measurable actions. This leads to significant savings on chemicals, optimised labour allocation and reduced crop losses. The benefits start immediately after deployment and quickly translate into measurable operational and economic impact.
Croptimus™ integrates seamlessly into existing operations and acts as a decision-support layer within routine agronomic processes. By embedding AI into daily greenhouse management, Fermata helps growers prevent outbreaks rather than react to them – while improving sustainability, operational efficiency and scalability.
Fermata works closely with growers, agronomists and industry partners to continuously improve detection accuracy and expand crop coverage. Getting started with Croptimus is simple and low-risk.
Together, we help enhance greenhouse productivity, reduce risks and build more resilient and scalable growing systems.
