How does it work?

Plant-driven cultivation

Our smart plant sensors listen from within the plant, translating plant signals into real-time actionable insights using AI and machine learning.

We transform plant biosignals into actionable insights using smart plant biosensors, AI, and machine learning to enable early stress detection in crops. 

How Vivent Biosignals smart plant sensors and AI technology work in agriculture:

01

Plants sending signals

Plants are constantly sensing and responding to their environment. When they experience stress or detect subtle changes in light, moisture, temperature, or pathogens, they generate tiny electrical signals known as plant biosignals. These signals are caused by the movement of charged particles (ions) across cell membranes. Using plant sensors and AI technology, we capture and analyse these signals in real time, enabling precise crop monitoring and early stress detection. This provides direct insight into plant health and behavior, often long before visible symptoms appear.

Capturing plant signals with biosensors

The smart plant biosensor from Vivent Biosignals detects and records the tiny electrical signals that plants generate. Using electrodes placed directly on the plant, the plant sensor measures changes in ion flow, the plant’s natural language. With our agriculture sensors, these plant signals are captured and translated into real-time data, the first step toward plant-driven cultivation.

Decoding plant signals with AI technology

Backed by the world’s largest library of plant electrophysiology recordings, we continuously improve our technology by expanding crop models and stressor profiles to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Using advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms, the plant signals are accurately interpreted in real-time.  This AI-powered approach enables early detection of a wide range of crop threats, including soil-borne pathogens, often before any visible symptoms appear.

By integrating plant sensors and AI, growers can make faster, more precise decisions, enabling smarter and more intelligent precision agriculture.

Live dashboard for real-time plant insights

Plant data is transferred directly to our intuitive live dashboard, giving growers instant access to key plant metrics, including nutrient levels (N, P, K, Ca), stress signals, and environmental responses. This live dashboard translates raw plant data into clear, actionable insights for real-time crop monitoring. Growers can immediately adjust irrigation, lighting, or nutrition strategies based on real-time plant stress signals. Accessible anytime, anywhere, it enables smarter, faster and data driven decision-making based on the plant’s actual condition.

VITA1 plant sensor for real-time crop monitoring

The VITA1 smart plant biosensor enables plant-driven cultivation using AI-powered algorithms. It supports better irrigation decision-making based on the plant’s actual needs and provides real-time plant insights, including nutrient status (N, P, K, Ca), and environmental responses. It also delivers LED lighting energy efficiency insights, helping optimise resource use in controlled environments. Suitable for high- and mid-tech greenhouses as well as outdoor farming, this battery-powered, wireless plant sensor enables 24/7 monitoring.

By interpreting the plant’s own signals, it improves data-driven decision-making in precision agriculture.

Live analytic dashboard

Live plant monitoring dashboard

Our live plant monitoring dashboard updates every 5 minutes, displaying plant balance, water status, nutrient levels (Ca, N, K, P, Fe, Mn), and plant activity in real time. It is easy to interpret and allows growers to set custom alerts when critical plant levels are reached. For deeper trend analysis, users can access daily, weekly, or monthly trends and compare varieties, compartments, or crop strategies.

Why Vivent Biosignals?

Our plant-driven technology is used by agriculture and food input companies, indoor and outdoor growers, as well as academics and scientists worldwide. They choose Vivent Biosignals to understand plant signals in real time and translate them into actionable insights for precision agriculture.

Measurements inside the plant, not just at the surface.

Our plant sensors capture internal electrical signals to provide real-time insights into plant physiology and plant signals, going beyond traditional surface-level monitoring.

Smarter crop inputs

Accelerate the development and validation of new crop inputs using real-time plant feedback.

Real-time feedback on crop management strategies

Instantly see how plants respond to irrigation, lighting, or nutrient settings, allowing you to fine-tune inputs based on real-time plant feedback.

Early plant stress detection

Our early stress detection technology detects plant stress long before visible symptoms appear, using real-time plant data, allowing growers to take proactive action and protect yield, quality, and crop performance.
