Next week, Collabora takes Open Source innovation to the fields at AGRITECHNICA, where technology and agriculture come together. As a trusted partner of industry leaders like CLAAS, Ag Leader, and CCI, we are delighted to exhibit for the first time at one of the world’s leading agricultural trade fairs, taking place November 9–15. At the Digital Farm Center, (Hall 21, booth C17), Collabora will be showcasing an AI-powered, open source solution designed to help farmers monitor crop health locally.

Edge intelligence for smarter farming

Featuring machine learning–based precision agriculture analytics using GStreamer on Rockchip’s RK3588 platform, Collabora’s demonstrated system captures real-time video from a field camera and runs a YOLOv8-based multi-class detection model optimized for the RK3588’s platform. The model can accurately identify strawberries, leaves, flowers, and potential diseases directly on the edge device, enabling continuous monitoring without relying on the cloud.

Thanks to advanced optimizations in model quantization and pipeline integration, the solution achieves fast inference performance. This demo highlights how efficient on-device AI can empower agricultural automation and crop health analysis, leveraging Rockchip’s high-performance compute capabilities for low-latency, power-efficient vision analytics.
