ABOUT US
Founded in 2020 out of the DFG Excellence Cluster PhenoRob at the University of Bonn, we combine cutting-edge AI and robotics research with practical agronomy. We transform high-resolution field data into actionable, economically relevant decisions — making precision agriculture accessible to everyone, from individual farmers to global research organizations.
Our AI-based technology reduces time and cost while increasing accuracy in digital agronomy — empowering farmers to make data-driven decisions that optimize yield potential and farm income, and enabling enterprises to scale complex field trials with unmatched precision and efficiency.
Built on European values of innovation, sustainability, and data sovereignty, Pheno-Inspect delivers AI that truly works — where it matters most: in real fields.
About Us in 5 Minutes
OUR VISION
AI-Powered Revolution for Sustainable Agriculture
We build the most trusted, open platform for digital agronomy — empowering a new generation of precision and data-driven farming, breeding, and agricultural research for a more productive, sustainable, and resilient food system in Europe and beyond.
OUR MISSION
Make Drones Everyday Farm Tools
We make advanced agronomy accessible to everyone — from farmers in the field to enterprises running complex micro-plot trials.
By combining the latest advancements in drone technology and automation with our proprietary AI, we empower our customers to analyze their fields with single-plant accuracy — faster, more affordably, and with complete independence.
Our goal: to make drones an everyday tool for digital agronomy — always available, easy to use, and trusted to deliver reliable insights when they matter most.
