Use Case
Quality Testing & Sales
Fingerprint every seed lot across the supply chain with automated quality and vigor data, setting consistent global standards and ensuring stable, documented results that keep your customers satisfied.
Frustrated that lab tests don’t translate into consistent emergence in the field?
How to unlock value
Rely on standardized, ground-truth data.
Set global thresholds and AI models that combine seed quality, germination, homogeneity, and vigor in a single test - predicting real customer outcomes.
Struggling with seasonal labor shortages disrupting critical processes?
How to unlock value
Automate and streamline quality testing across the supply chain.
Reduce reliance on manual tests by shifting to automated seed-only and lab-based assays, cutting workload across the supply chain.
Relying on unreliable data at point-of-sale, risking claims or customer loss?
How to unlock value
Fingerprint each lot against objective global standards.
Know exactly what’s in stock and predict field results with trusted quality data. Now you can sell with confidence.
No reliable data on vigor or stress tolerance?
How to unlock value
Measure vigor and screen for stress response in the lab.
Capture all quality dimensions, including stress response, to ensure high and stable performance under varying conditions.
Deeper insights
Go beyond standard quality tests to reveal a wealth of valuable information. Generate precise organ-level biomass data for each seedling and capture germination dynamics through non-invasive time series analysis. This rich layer of insight enables truly objective quality assessments while providing powerful context for informed decision-making in the sales and distribution process.
In addition, the resulting high-quality datasets create robust documentation that can serve as a reference point or as input for predictive modeling, ensuring interoperability and value across the entire organization.

Find answers on how SeedTelligence can transform Quality Testing & Sales.
What crops can the phenoTest be used for?
It has been validated on more than 80 plant species, from fine grasses to forestry seeds, with no practical limitations found.
Why 3D X-ray CT?
X-ray CT captures full 3D internal structures, enabling richer data and better integration into digital quality systems.
Can SeedTelligence predict germination performance?
Yes. By connecting seed quality traits to germination outcomes, SeedTelligence helps predict performance with high accuracy.
What is the typical process from first contact to system deployment?
The process usually starts with an introduction and needs assessment, followed by a proof-of-concept, solution design, customization, installation, training, and ongoing support.
How is data quality ensured across locations?
The algorithms extract biomass-based traits, enabling harmonized results independent of device or location.
How does SeedTelligence help address labor shortages?
By automating seed and seedling quality assessment, SeedTelligence reduces reliance on manual labor and enables teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
