NPM portfolio company Oxbo introduces AutoHarvest, bringing machine learning to berry harvesting

NPM portfolio company Oxbo has introduced AutoHarvest, a new technology that uses machine learning to automatically adjust the settings of berry harvesters during harvesting. The system continuously analyses conditions and adjusts different parts of the machine to help growers achieve consistent harvesting results.

AutoHarvest uses integrated cameras and algorithms to detect changes during harvesting. The operator or field manager sets the desired harvesting outcome using two sliders. The system then automatically adjusts functions including ground speed, picking speed, picking head settings, conveyor speeds and fan speeds.
