The SKAi spot spraying innovation was born out of a desire to minimise chemical usage on specific problem species in crops and grassland, saving costs on unnecessary blanket herbicide application, and reducing the environmental impact.

95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species. With SKAi you can reduce your chemical use by up to 85% compared to blanket application, target treatments specifically where they’re needed, and save money on inputs.

SKAi is our re-trainable smart camera system solution for agriculture. SKAi (pronounced: Sky) – SoilEssentials KORE Artificial Intelligence platform utilises smart cameras, trained in the recognition of target weed species, to control an agricultural crop sprayer as it passes over a field.

With the SoilEssentials SKAi system, you can detect and spot spray individual weeds and unwanted plant species. Initially utilised to target dock infestations in grassland, SKAi is now being put to work in high value arable crops.

Utilising agricultural intelligence to drive agricultural innovation, SKAi is designed to be retrainable, providing a sustainable approach to addressing agricultural challenges.

SKAi is eligible under the new Farm Equipment Technology Fund (FETF) available in England.

SKAi was awarded a prestigious RHASS Technical Innovation Silver Award, the highest accolade available to be presented for a new innovation. It also won the Innovation category at The Courier Business Awards and a Highly Commended at AgriScot with the comment “one to watch.”
