"Currently, there is no single way or method to measure the spraying process in greenhouses from beginning to end," said Omer Alon, Co-Founder and CEO at ProScout. "No farmer today has the tools to plan and actually monitor the process. Since these are super toxic materials whose use is regulated by authorities, there is a real need to know what is happening on the ground in real-time. Did the plants receive the appropriate amount with even distribution and uniformity, and how much did each plant receive?"
After a conversation with a family friend, Alon decided to establish ProScout. Using an AI-powered, computer vision solution, farmers can now turn existing greenhouse sprayers into smart machines that collect real-time data and generate actionable insights for growers. Founded in 2024, the company recently secured $830,000 in funding and signed an agreement with Degania Sprayers, one of Israel's biggest and a worldwide known greenhouse sprayer manufacturers.
According to ProScout, every piece of equipment that leaves their factory has its system already installed. Across Israel, there are more than 30 devices already in operation and the company is preparing to launch a commercial product in the next year.
"Our solution allows farmers to receive all the information about the spraying process, thereby saving on pesticides, reducing costs, and saving valuable labor time and their health," he added.
