At GreenTech Amsterdam 2026, Corvus Drones, ADI and PlantScout will present a joint vision for the future of crop monitoring: combining flexible data collection with AI-powered analysis and practical workflow integration. Drones, camera systems, mobile applications, static sensors and AI-based software can help growers move from periodic observations to continuous, structured crop intelligence.

© Corvus Drones At GreenTech Amsterdam, Corvus Drones, ADI and PlantScout will exhibit together to present complementary technologies for crop data collection, pest and disease detection, crop monitoring and grower workflow integration. Founded in 2019, the company first focused on seed germination monitoring and has since expanded into applications such as growth monitoring, flowering, inventory management, and pest and disease detection.

Corvus Drones is now active in more than 15 countries worldwide. By combining our technologies, we can help growers collect, interpret and act on crop data more effectively." Corvus Drones, ADI and PlantScout will exhibit at GreenTech Amsterdam, June 9–11, 2026, and will provide live drone demonstrations at stand 05.523.

Why this matters: For operators, this is a water-management story. The useful signal is that direct substrate measurements can help cut drain loss materially without giving up yield or fruit quality, which is exactly the kind of controllable efficiency gain a facility can build on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does substrate sensing matter in free-drain strawberry systems?

Because drain percentage tells a grower what already happened, while substrate moisture and EC data show root-zone conditions directly. That makes it easier to cut water loss without guessing.

What is the operator takeaway from this trial?

If the thresholds are understood well enough, growers can reduce drain water materially while protecting yield and fruit quality, which makes sensing an operational tool instead of a reporting tool.
