Bringing hardware intelligence to agriculture
Simms helps system integrators, software companies and OEMs develop and deploy these intelligent applications, bringing together the edge computing, vision technology and industrial hardware needed to operate reliably in real-world agricultural environments.
Where Edge AI makes a difference
Enabling smarter farming through Edge AI, machine vision and autonomous technologies.
Crop health & detection
Enable AI-powered monitoring of crops, plants and growing conditions using machine vision and intelligent sensing. Identify disease indicators, detect weeds and recognise changes in crop health, supporting earlier interventions and more informed agricultural decisions.
Precision agriculture
Improve the accuracy of agricultural processes through real-time object detection, counting and classification. Vision-based AI can support targeted crop treatment, yield assessment and automated inspection to reduce waste and optimise resource use.
Autonomous machinery
Give agricultural machinery greater awareness of its surroundings through Edge AI, cameras and depth-sensing technology. Support the development of robotic systems capable of navigation, object recognition and obstacle avoidance in demanding outdoor environments.
Farm monitoring
Support smarter monitoring of animals, equipment and agricultural facilities using connected sensors and AI-powered vision. Enable technology providers to develop systems that improve operational visibility and identify unusual activity or conditions.
Helping the innovators behind smarter agriculture
Deliver intelligent agricultural solutions
We help agricultural technology and automation integrators identify the hardware required to deliver machine vision, monitoring and autonomous systems for their customers.
Taking agricultural Edge AI into the field
You've developed software capable of analysing crops, animals or agricultural environments. We help identify the edge hardware and vision platforms needed to run it.
Build intelligence into agricultural machinery
We help equipment manufacturers evaluate and integrate AI computing, vision technology and industrial components into intelligent agricultural products and machinery.
Our approach and value
Agricultural AI solutions must perform beyond controlled environments. Variable lighting, dust, moisture, vibration, temperature and limited connectivity all influence hardware selection.
Simms helps technology providers navigate these challenges, bringing together specialist compute platforms, vision technology and industrial-grade components to support solutions designed for demanding agricultural applications.
