What phone model do you need to use TrueFruit?

Any modern smartphone with a good camera (recent iPhone or high-end Android) works. We recommend using the latest app version for best accuracy.

What countries do we operate in?

Aerobotics operates globally, with a strong presence in major fruit-growing regions like South Africa, the Americas, and Europe.

What is your pricing structure?

Pricing is volume-based per acre and tailored to your crop type and selected product suite. It requires a custom quote.

How does the AI fruit sizing work technically?

The app uses computer vision models trained on large datasets to segment fruit, estimate 3D size from 2D images via photogrammetry, and classify color/blemishes.

What are the limitations for accurate measurements?

Accuracy relies on consistent lighting, image focus, and the fruit being clearly visible. The model's performance is crop-specific and may need calibration for new varieties.
