HOW IT WORKS

On average 4 – 6 weeks once we have active spores and can maintain diseased plant material. We teach on-site at labs with growth chambers, at our HQ site, or in small benchtop bio-tents at universities / partner sites.

This is highly dependent on the crop, terrain, and canopy density for outdoor crops. Our normal approach is to work with PCA’s / IPM teams to identify hot-spots of historical disease events and place sensors in key areas and expand from there as needed. For indoor growers, it’s highly dependent on the facility layout, airflow, and crop density / spacing. Normally we recommend 1 sensor for every 5,000 – 10,000 sq.ft.

6 weeks. We train your team to conduct their own cassette replacements as it’s simple and takes only a few minutes. Cassettes are provided / included in your subscription plan.

Subscription pricing is typically annual and is developed together with our customers after site review, determining number of units needed, number of diseases to monitor, and optional configurations for the best early warning disease detection strategy. Included is an install & training event, service, and supply of cassettes for the duration of your subscription. Contact us at: info@scanit-tech.com to request a consultation.

Scanit remains the owner of the hardware and the customer pays for subscription model for airborne disease data, alerts and dashboard access. Scanit or our authorized resellers provide installation and service support as needed.

For outdoor applications we use integrated 4G cellular connectivity in combination with a solar panel and drip battery which has been effective on most farms for connectivity. For indoor applications, we primarily use onboard Wi-Fi and will require your site SSID and Password for operation.

Bandwidth / data needs vary depending on number of diseases to detect and facility air quality, but monthly ranges are 1 - 6 GB of data traffic per sensor.

Yes. They are designed just for that purpose – harsh, outdoor environments and extreme weather swings both very hot and cold.

We are not limited by crop. Today, our outdoor crop focus has been: Wine & Table Grape, Tomato, Strawberry, Pistachio, and Almond but development is based on customer demand. For indoor crops, we serve Leafy Greens, Fruits & Vegatables, Floriculture and Cannabis / Hemp today.

Our library is continually growing as we build our install base. We have approx.. 75 diseases in our funnel of development with an excess of 20 built to date including pollens.

Yes. Our current technology can capture airborne particles down to 1 micron in size, but classification of spores requires particle sizes around 2.5 microns and greater. In our next-generation sensor we will be looking at classifying in the bacterial range (< 5 microns).

Not currently. We are focused on airborne pathogen / spore detection. We are evaluating other methods of detection and classification to tackle these known challenges in future product lines.

We do have some pilot sensors to allocate but it is under our paid pilot program. We can discuss cost-sharing models / funding options to make it effective for both parties. Contact us at info@scanit-tech.com for more details.

Yes, it is often possible. While spore morphology is similar between many Powdery Mildews, our algorithms and data collected can differentiate between variants by crop.

Yes. We can work together to scope out an integration project using our API to allow your existing platforms to ingest our data.

Both. Currently we are selling direct to growers but are actively building our reseller and partner base. Based on customer location, timing and size of project, we will ensure the right service model is proposed to ensure your success.

Yes. As standard equipment, we sense temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, dew point, and calculate estimated vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Gas sensors can be integrated as well by request in custom configurations.
