Founder and CEO Craig Ganssle illustrates how Farmwave uses autonomy alongside a multi-camera system to count grain loss in realtime. Front and back mounted cameras continually register and document individual kernels that fail to be harvested, which the system will extrapolate to determine the percentage loss per bushel in real time. With this information farmers can make adjustments to manage loss wherein they can immediately see the results if the changes and prevent or reduce the yield loss.
