Proofminder
Different from the mainstream
Currently, widespread solutions in precision agriculture are mainly based on satellite images and cannot address challenges that require a closer look at plants, hence high-resolution imagery. By creating a SaaS platform, Proofminder puts an easy-to-use solution right into the hands of farmers. Agricultural professionals can access an almost unlimited number of use cases with a click of a button: plant stand count and distancing, crop monitoring, plant disease or weed detection, insect damage analysis, weather and wildlife damage analysis and many more.
Established in 2021 by three data scientists, Ambrus Vancsó, Norbert Havas and Levente Simon, Proofminder has built a strong international and local clientele with companies like MAS Seeds and Bonafarm Group and has already covered over 1000ha by involving partners like drone operators in the monitoring process. Based on their project mentored by Corteva Agriscience, the company has already been awarded as ‘Most Innovative Agri Startup of 2021’ by the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture and shortlisted among the TOP3 ‘Agri Innovation of 2021 and 2022 Globally’ by AgriInvestor.com.
Innovative AI models created on Proofminder help growers improve their yield, make wiser agronomic decisions, save on inputs and decrease the amount of chemicals applied, produce more from each hectare and achieve production goals sustainably.
