Innovator Computer Vision

Your future ecosystem

As our Innovator Computer Vision, you will make an essential contribution to the success of Priva Kompano. This new business initiative, partly initiated by growers, aims to replace the boring and heavy crop labor in horticulture by applying smart robots.

In 2021, the first member of the Kompano family, a leaf cutting robot for tomato cultivation, will find its way to an international market. That is only the beginning and developments are continuing at an accelerated pace to also bring robots for other crop labor tasks to the fore. The team now consists of 9 members and is growing rapidly.

Vision technology is a core technology for Kompano. Why? We are happy to tell you more about the challenging conditions in which vision must guide robot arms accurately and along an optimal path to the correct position in the crop.
