R&D Partnership

We build what doesn’t exist yet.

ATAR’s engineering team develops custom precision agriculture solutions: from new AI detection models to hardware integrations for unique field challenges. Bring us your problem, we’ll engineer the answer.

What we do

Our R&D capabilities

Years of building vision systems for real fields — not labs. We know what survives a season and what doesn’t.

Custom AI Models

Train detection models for your specific crops, weed species, or growth stages. Green-on-green, green-on-brown, or entirely new classification tasks.

Sensor Integration

Integrate new sensors into the your platform: multispectral, LiDAR, soil probes, weather stations. We design the hardware interface and data pipeline.

Hardware Prototyping

Custom enclosures, mounting systems, PCB design for new modules. From concept to field-tested prototype in weeks, not months.

Fleet & Data Analytics

Build dashboards and analytics pipelines for fleet operators — real-time monitoring, yield correlation, spray optimization across hundreds of machines.

Autonomous Systems

Navigation, path planning, and autonomous spraying for robotic platforms. We adapt ATAR vision to work on drones, rovers, or autonomous tractors.

ISO-BUS & CAN Integration

Connect ATAR to your existing machinery ecosystem. Custom ISOBUS task controllers, CAN adapters, and implement communication protocols.

Process

From idea to field in 4 steps

Discovery

We visit your operation, understand the challenge, and define what success looks like

Prototype

Rapid prototyping with real field data — functional demo within 4–8 weeks

Field Testing

Deploy on your equipment, collect real performance data, iterate until it works

Deployment

Production-ready solution with documentation, training, and ongoing support

Ideas we can explore together

What could we build for you?

Every project starts with a conversation. Here are some directions we’ve explored with partners:

Crop-specific disease detection

Early detection of fungal infections, nutrient deficiencies, or pest damage using multispectral imaging

Variable rate application maps

Generate prescription maps from drone or satellite imagery, execute with ATAR hardware in real time

Retrofit kits for legacy sprayers

Custom mounting solutions and wiring harnesses for older equipment that needs precision upgrade

Research data collection

High-resolution field imaging, geo-tagged weed maps, and exportable datasets for academic or government research
