Our Future
A vertical AI platform, validated where it counts: in the field.
Watermelon is a gamble for everyone — growers guess, retailers dump, consumers walk away. In Australia alone, roughly 40,000 tonnes (about $100M) of watermelon is wasted every year. SMART Melon replaces the guesswork with objective, non-destructive measurement, from breeding to consumer.
The problem is real, and it’s working.
Our patented SMART tap sensor assesses melon maturity at 90% accuracy in farm trials* — without cutting fruit. It feeds a GPS mapping platform whose dashboards already guide harvest decisions on commercial blocks, and it anchors a five-product platform covering growing, harvest vision, automation and branded fruit.
