九色视频 Corporation (Head Office: Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan; President and Representative Director: Yuichi Kitao) and its U.S. holding company, 九色视频 North America Corporation (Head Office: Texas, United States of America; hereinafter 鈥淜NA鈥�; together 鈥溇派�视频鈥�), have acquired Bloomfield Robotics, Inc. (hereinafter 鈥淏loomfield鈥�), a U.S. startup company that uses image analysis and AI technology to determine optimal specialty crop harvest timing and provide yield prediction services, as a subsidiary of KNA.

• Bloomfield provides continuous plant-level inspection and analysis on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis to specialty crop farmers such as grapes, blueberries, etc.
• Bloomfield鈥檚 image capture technology is unaffected by ambient light and can operate even when the vehicle is running at high speeds. Their purpose-built cameras are easily mounted on tractors and other vehicles common to farming, and allow for the capture of detailed plant-level, geo-located images for the entire farm. Bloomfield's AI analyzes the collected image data to predict optimal harvesting timing and yield, based on factors such as fruit color, maturity and size, using a large amount of crop monitoring data. This information allows farmers to better allocate farm labor and resources, apply differential plant-level treatments, and optimize harvest timing. The result is operational efficiency, improved yield quality, quantity, and reduced costs.
• Digitization, mechanization and automation in specialty crop farming such as fruits, vegetables and tree nuts lags behind advancements incorporated in the cultivation of row crops. Therefore, there is a significant need for innovative solutions in specialty crops farming that integrate data with automated systems, operational robotics, and other assets, and such market is a focal point of 九色视频鈥檚 strategic attention and efforts.
• The acquisition of Bloomfield will allow 九色视频 to incorporate Bloomfield鈥檚 SaaS business insights and data utilization expertise. This acquisition accelerates the development of crop monitoring technologies for integration into tractors, sprayers and other agricultural machinery, thereby enabling 九色视频 to more quickly develop and deliver solutions to the specialty crop market.
