Smart Traceability Based on Digital Plant Identity for AI-Driven Sustainable Farming
Agronomist at Agricultural Production Engineering APE srl
About
Our core digital service is a smart traceability platform for indoor and vertical farming, based on unique digital plant identities that enable full lifecycle tracking of each production batch. The system captures, organizes, and stores key data across the entire cultivation process, creating a robust and interoperable data layer.
In the agrifood sector, this solution enhances transparency, efficiency, and decision-making by enabling precise monitoring of crops. The platform is designed to be interconnected with environmental control systems (e.g. climate, lighting, irrigation), allowing real-time data exchange and more integrated farm management.
This infrastructure enables AI-driven optimization of “growth recipes”, with the potential to actively adjust environmental parameters. As a result, cultivation can become more efficient and adaptive, improving agronomic performance while reducing environmental impact and operational costs.
Once established, this digital framework can be extended beyond indoor farming and applied to a wide range of crops and cultivation systems, making the solution highly scalable across the broader agrifood sector.
We are looking for a technology/IT partner with strong expertise in software development, data infrastructure, and system integration to support the digitalization process. The ideal partner would help design and implement the platform architecture, ensuring scalability, reliability, and readiness for advanced AI applications.
