Croptimal launched a mounted Croptiscan 3000 for seed-potato disease detection. 3 m working width; about 5 km/h; 1.5 ha/h; day and night. Gross price EUR 95,000 plus EUR 4,000/year licence. The self-propelled Croptiscan 3000 of the same width costs EUR 175,000. Modular so the mounted unit can later convert to self-propelled. Marks plants with Y-virus or leaf roll for removal in a separate pass.

3 m tractor-mounted Croptiscan 3000 for smaller seed-potato growers. 5 km/h, ~1.5 ha/h, EUR 95,000 + EUR 4,000/year. Jeroen Wolters quoted. Upgrade path to self-driving 4/8/12-row machines.
Croptimal launched a tractor-mounted Croptiscan 3000 for smaller seed-potato growers. The 3-metre machine hangs on a tractor, puts a camera above each row, and uses the same camera and marking technology as Croptimal’s self-driving Croptiscan models. Algorithms were trained on data from seven operational Croptiscan machines plus twelve separate camera arms. Published capacity: 3 m working width; about 5 km/h; 1.5 ha per hour or around 12 ha per working day. Ambient-light shielding is meant to work in bright sun and in the dark. Gross price: EUR 95,000 plus EUR 4,000 per year for service, support, and algorithm updates. The self-propelled Croptiscan 3000 of the same width costs EUR 175,000. The mounted unit is modular and can later convert to self-propelled. It marks plants with Y-virus or leaf roll for removal in a separate pass. Growers can later upgrade to a fully self-driving 3-metre 4-row, 6-metre 8-row, or 9-metre 12-row Croptiscan. Jeroen Wolters is CEO. Croptimal.nl describes the Croptiscan line as leaf-level image recognition for potato leafroll and Y-virus (PVY), scanning up to twelve rows on the wider models, with contact addresses in Assen and Dronten.
