1. Technology overview
Orchard, legally Orchard Robotics Inc., is a California-based company founded in 2022 that describes itself as the AI farming company. It targets tree-fruit and vine growers who lack per-tree data on yield, fruit size and crop load.
FruitScope Vision is a camera mounted on tractors, ATVs or other farm vehicles that scans rows at 1-12 mph. FruitScope OS turns the images into per-tree maps, yield and size estimates and harvest plans, and Canary AI is an assistant for farm decisions. Customers are large apple, grape and other orchard operations in the US.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Vehicle-mounted vision: Cameras on tractors or ATVs capture images at 1-12 mph.
- Per-tree mapping: FruitScope OS builds tree-level maps for yield and fruit size.
- Harvest planning: Labor maps and harvest plans are generated from the scan data.
- Variable rate and crop load: Data supports variable-rate applications and crop load management.
- AI assistant: Canary AI supports farm decisions using the collected data.
3. Potential application
Durian, mango and citrus orchards in the Mekong Delta and Central Highlands can estimate yield per block before harvest. Large fruit exporters can plan packing capacity from yield forecasts. Plantation cooperatives can target thinning and spraying by tree.
4. Benefits
Per-tree maps support labor planning, variable-rate applications and crop load management. Data is ready the morning after scanning, and cameras ride on existing farm vehicles so no dedicated robot is needed. Pricing is a single per-acre, per-year subscription with everything included.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Orchards face labor shortages and rising input costs, which pushes demand for tree-level data to target spraying, thinning and harvest crews. In Southeast Asia, durian, mango and citrus orchards are professionalizing, creating future demand for similar vision-based monitoring.
6. Other information
Raised a $22 million Series A in September 2025 led by Quiet Capital and Shine Capital with General Catalyst participating, bringing total capital to over $25 million. Legal name Orchard Robotics Inc.; orchard-robotics.com redirects to orchard.ai.
