Saturas is a precision agriculture company that develops and manufactures stem water potential SWP sensor systems for irrigation management. Its miniature sensors are embedded in the trunks of trees, vines, and other crops, providing direct contact with water tissues to deliver accurate, real-time measurements of plant water status. The system comprises implanted sensors, in-orchard wireless transponders, and a control unit that transmits data to a central system connected to irrigation controllers. This enables automated, real-time irrigation tailoring to crop needs, reducing water usage while aiming to increase fruit production, size, and sugar content. Saturas' technology supports vineyards and other crops by delivering easy-to-read reports to farmers and enabling precise irrigation decisions. The company was founded in 2013 and is based in Misgav, Israel.
FruitSpec
Series A in 2019
FruitSpec develops hyperspectral imaging and deep learning based technology to estimate fruit yields and manage the fruit value chain. The company designs sensor pods that scan orchards and pairs them with a software platform to count fruits, determine size distribution, and estimate total yield. It offers yield estimation as a service, delivering reports that show the number of fruits and size distribution for a given orchard, with an additional heat-map visualization of fruit quantities. The solutions enable agribusinesses, including farmers, distributors, and insurers, to capture farm data and make planning decisions. Founded in 2016 and based in Tel Aviv, Israel, FruitSpec targets early-season insights to support demand-to-supply management across the fruit industry.
