Access to ‘all’ new technologies on the market

LeapPlus is the system that connects other real-time applications on your sprayer with LeapBox. The technologies to connect with LeapBox can be developed by BBLeap or other companies. We believe the LEAP in agriculture is possible if we work together. Other companies might develop technology for specific applications based on dedicated algorithms that deliver great value. LeapBox is key to the execution of perfect spray quality and LeapPlus connects the technologies.

Examples are:

  • camera systems for weed detection
  • sensors to measure crop conditions
  • RGB cameras
  • temperature, moist

LeapPlus organizes the communication and data processing to any other application or real-time execution to control the nozzles.

Collaborate with us

BBLeap is open to collaborate with all parties on the market. LeapBox is the base to the execution of Farming On Plant Level. With our open attitude towards others in the market, we want LeapBox users to be able to plug in any new technological development available.

Real-time camera applications

Camera systems are the first LeapPlus integrations out in the field. Camera systems can be used for a variety of applications. Often algorithms are developed for specific applications. Some examples of algorithms that are developed: recognition of rumex in grass, thistles in sugar beets, broad-leaved weeds in cereals (green-on-green). The camera system can also work with a raster to identify bud weeds and spray them at low dosage.

The Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs)

LeapPlus TRL

BBLeap values open and transparent communication. This includes the stages of our technologies under development. To communicate our progress we use Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). TRLs are developed and introduced by NASA in order to be consistent and uniform about communicating technology maturity. LeapPlus is identified to be currently in TRL 8. TRL 8 is described as “Actual system validated in relevant environment”.

Frequently asked questions:

  • What is BBLeap LeapPlus and what is its purpose?
    LeapPlus is BBLeap's innovative system that connects external, real-time applications on your sprayer with LeapBox. Its primary goal is to provide farmers with access to a wide range of new technologies, developed by both BBLeap and its partners. This allows functionalities such as camera systems for weed detection or sensors for crop conditions to integrate seamlessly. LeapPlus manages communication and data processing, which is essential for the perfect execution of plant-level spraying, contributing to more efficient and sustainable operations in line with 'Clean Food. Clean World.'
  • Which external technologies can be connected via BBLeap LeapPlus?
    Via BBLeap LeapPlus, various external technologies can be linked to the LeapBox, making your sprayer multifunctional. Examples include camera systems for accurate weed detection, sensors that measure crop conditions, RGB cameras for detailed analyses, and systems that monitor temperature and moisture. These integration possibilities allow you to utilize algorithms specifically developed for applications like identifying weed types or targeted spraying of individual plants, resulting in optimal precision and efficiency and contributing to 'Plant Precision at Farm Level'.
  • What is the development status of BBLeap LeapPlus?
    BBLeap LeapPlus is currently at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8. This level, originally developed by NASA for consistent communication about technology maturity, means that the system has been validated in a relevant operational environment. This indicates a high degree of reliability and functionality in practice. BBLeap strives for open and transparent communication about the progress of its technologies, giving growers and contractors confidence that they are investing in proven and future-proof solutions for precision agriculture, with '100% Precision' at its core.
  • How can precision agriculture improve farm operations?
    Precision agriculture optimizes farm operations by applying resources, such as spraying liquids, only where and when needed. This leads to a significant reduction in resource consumption, which saves costs and lowers the ecological impact. Through exact control over dosage, pressure, and distribution, the effectiveness of each treatment is maximized, resulting in healthier crops and potentially higher yields. The ability to work at plant level increases efficiency, reduces workload, and supports more sustainable agriculture for the long term.
  • What are the benefits of integrating various agricultural technologies into one system?
    Integrating different agricultural technologies into one system offers significant benefits, such as improved data exchange and optimized decision-making. By allowing sensors, cameras, and control systems to work together seamlessly, a more complete picture of the crop situation emerges, leading to more precise and effective applications. This integrated ecosystem increases efficiency, reduces labor, and maximizes yields, while simultaneously minimizing the ecological footprint. It enables farmers to respond more flexibly to specific needs of plants and soil.
