Fermata develops computer-vision software that analyzes twice-daily images from any off-the-shelf camera to diagnose diseases and pest infestations in greenhouse crops and send alerts to farmers via an app. The company keeps its data-labeling team in-house and operates an R&D center where it deliberately infects plants to generate training data, which the founder attributes to higher model accuracy. Fermata has focused initially on greenhouse-grown tomatoes and has deployed more than 100 cameras to date. It sells directly to farms and also partners with large agriculture companies such as Bayer and Syngenta. The team plans to expand into additional crops and grow its partnership network. Fermata aims to scale the business and reach profitability by 2026. Fermata is described in the article as an Israeli‑Russian developer of technologies for monitoring the condition of plants.
