FAQ

PlantVoice is an innovative company that offers a unique technology to monitor the health of plants in real time. Through the biochemical analysis of the sap, it provides precise data to prevent stress situations, such as water and infestations such as insects, bacteria and fungi, improving the yield and quality of agricultural production.

Plantvoice technology offers significant advantages: it improves agricultural yield and improves crop quality thanks to precise monitoring that allows for optimizing plant care, reduces waste of resources such as water, fertilizers and pesticides, and promotes environmental sustainability by using biocompatible materials and reducing the ecological footprint of crops.

A smart graft is inserted into the plant stem and collects physiological data, such as salinity and sap flow. This data is sent to the cloud, where our AI algorithms analyze it to provide simple and immediate information to farmers.

Stress data is in-depth information that identifies the main stress factors that affect plant health, such as water shortages, bacterial or fungal infections, or nutrient anomalies. This data helps to intervene promptly, improving the quality and yield of crops.

Yes, Plantvoice is designed to integrate with other technological tools through an automatic computer interface. This compatibility allows the data collected to be used together with information from meteorological sensors, soil moisture, irradiance, and drones or satellites, offering centralized and complete management of agricultural resources.

Yes, the data collected by the sensors is encrypted and stored securely on cloud servers, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and compliance with data privacy regulations.

Plantvoice stands out for its direct sap monitoring, a small (less than 2 mm) and biocompatible sensor. In practice, an internationally patented intelligent graft that has no equivalent among competing technologies, both in terms of ease of use and in terms of the type of monitoring offered. This “internal to the plant” approach allows for the detection of physiological anomalies in plants more quickly and accurately than traditional “external to the plant” methods.

Yes, Plantvoice holds international patents recognized in Europe, USA, China, Japan, Brazil, India, Israel, Australia, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Eurasia, Chile, Peru and Canada.

Absolutely, Plantvoice is compatible with ESG platforms such as ESGMax, facilitating the automated collection and analysis of data for the preparation of sustainability reports along the entire company supply chain.

Plantvoice is ideal for perennial stem crops, such as vineyards, orchards and olive groves. It is not suitable for herbaceous crops due to the size of the sensors.

Yes, we offer customized packages based on the type of crop and the specific needs of the farmers. This approach allows us to adapt the technology to a wide variety of crops, contexts and needs.

Plantvoice contributes to sustainability by significantly reducing the use of water in crops, with savings of up to 40% compared to traditional methods, thanks to the precise monitoring of the water needs of plants. The technology also promotes a reduction in the use of fertilizers and pesticides, thus limiting the environmental impact of agricultural practices. The sensors, designed with biocompatible materials, reflect Plantvoice’s commitment to creating innovative solutions that respect the environment and promote more sustainable agriculture.

Yes, Plantvoice is a minimally invasive (less than 2mm thick), biocompatible technology that monitors the health of plants without altering their natural physiology.

Yes, Plantvoice sensors are designed to operate in a wide range of climatic conditions, ensuring reliable performance even in situations of high thermal or water stress.

The Plantvoice system is quick and easy to install. The sensors are inserted into the trunk of the sentinel plants through a small hole, which is then sealed with pruning putty to ensure protection and stability. The installation is designed to be minimally invasive and only occurs in plants with a trunk diameter greater than 1 cm. The Plantvoice team provides technical support and agronomic advice to identify the best positions, ensuring maximum effectiveness of the system.

Plantvoice offers complete support to its customers, ensuring continuous assistance to interpret the data collected and maximize the benefits of the technology. Intuitive dashboards allow you to immediately view and use the results, while personalized training helps farmers to make the most of all the system’s features, optimizing use based on specific needs.

Yes, the Plantvoice system is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. For example, our software does not require re-entering login credentials after each reboot, improving usability for farmers.

In case of malfunctions, Plantvoice offers a rapid technical assistance service for the replacement or repair of the sensor, minimizing any interruptions in monitoring.

Plantvoice sensors are designed to last for the entire growing season without maintenance. Made with biocompatible materials, the sensors can be easily removed at the end of the production cycle without impacting the environment or the plant. The sensors will need to be replaced in the next season. Their resistance and reliability guarantee continuous and effective monitoring throughout the period of use.

Plantvoice system shipping is handled quickly and securely to ensure that sensors arrive intact and ready for installation. Each order is packaged with protective materials, and we offer tracking options to monitor delivery. We work with reliable carriers for both domestic and international shipments, ensuring on-time delivery and meeting specific customer requirements.

Plantvoice provides consulting and support for international expansion, working with bilateral relations programs and importers. We also work to ensure that our product is compliant with local regulations and adaptable to international markets.

Yes, we provide informational and promotional materials in the language of the target market, ensuring that our content is clear and accessible.

Yes, Plantvoice can be used in both established local markets and international contexts. However, to access new markets, we recommend that you carefully plan the implementation with the Plantvoice team, considering the exact needs of local supply chains and any technical limitations in the regions of interest.

The cost of the Plantvoice system depends on the number of hectares monitored and the specific needs of the business. The configuration can be adapted to ensure maximum value and efficiency in the agricultural operations. For detailed information and a personalized quote, we invite you to contact us directly.

Yes, we support clients in participating in funding calls.

Yes, the technology is scalable and can be customized to meet the needs of both small local producers and large agricultural companies or consortia.

Of course, we offer pilot solutions to allow companies to evaluate the benefits of our technology on a small scale before proceeding with a full implementation.

Absolutely, Plantvoice provides useful data to optimize irrigation and nutrition processes, improving key parameters such as color, shape and size of fruits, responding better to market demands.

Yes, continuous monitoring allows for the early detection of physiological anomalies and potential plant diseases, allowing for timely interventions to protect plant health and prevent production losses.

Yes, thanks to its ability to optimize the use of water, fertilizers and pesticides, Plantvoice allows a reduction in operating costs of up to 40%. Furthermore, accurate monitoring prevents problems such as plant diseases, reducing further unexpected expenses.
