UPDATES FROM THE WGCIT The Western Growers Center for Innovation and Technology was created to link Western Growers members with innovators in the agtech space. Below are news updates from the Center’s startups:
At Adaviv, we’re always eager to see how our technology helps growers improve their operations. That’s why we want to share our recent collaboration with a tomato farm in Baja Sur. Gerardo Batiz, the Production Manager at H2E, shared his experience: “We work with Adaviv’s AI Co-Pilot to monitor plant health and to implement an incentive system for our harvest crew. The results were impressive, especially during the harvest, where the system helped us track and improve the quality of work, resulting in higher pack quality.” Our AI-powered tools provided real-time insights into plant health and worker performance, enabling H2E to improve efficiency and boost the consistency and quality of their packout, all while working seamlessly in the field. If you want to see how this might work for your operation, contact Julian Ortiz at julian@adaviv.com. In 2025, aerialPLOT continues to elevate field-scale research and production insights with major enhancements to the aerialFARMS platform. Users now benefit from GPS-anchored mapping from plot to farm level, streamlined image uploads, and powerful new data filters, making it easier than ever to manage trials and visualize crop performance over time. Our upcoming Multi-Factor Analysis (MFA) tools enable zone-based analytics across entire fields, helping users dissect performance by soil type, productivity zones and other key agronomic layers. Combined with expanding tools for orchard management, these capabilities offer deeper insights into the complex dynamics of perennial systems. For those using their own UAVs, our BYOD (Bring Your Own Drone/Data) workflow allows users to bring imagery for full processing and analysis in aerialFARMS. Whether you’re conducting R&D or managing day-to-day operations, aerialPLOT delivers the scalable tools you need to stay ahead. Contact us at info@ aerialplot.com to explore how aerialFARMS can support your season. Carbon Robotics is revolutionizing agriculture with AI and robotics to reduce costs and increase yields. The LaserWeeder product line has eliminated more than 24 billion weeds across 100-plus crops in 11 countries. In February, Carbon Robotics launched the next-generation LaserWeeder G2, extending the reach of its laser weeding technology to more growers and crops. As challenges around labor, input costs and sustainability intensify, Carbon Robotics remains focused on delivering technology that helps farms stay productive and profitable.
