Our Process
Who We Help
The Vivid XV3 is the ultimate crop load management system for thinning, farm management, and yield.
Our Vision Miles™ model lets you focus on the areas of your orchard you care most about.
Accurate Data for Optimal Farm Decisions
Different aspects of our product can be used to help farm managers improve their efficiency and plan better during each stage of the season.
Increasing Quality Yield
The real-time early pink to 25mm fruitlet data (counts and sizes) help farm managers determine thinning strategies to achieve target crop load per block, row, or even tree.
The BETA Fruit Growth Rate Model predicts fruit set after each fruitlet scan. In 2024, this tool is suggested for testing against grower numbers. Growth curves are developed specifically by farm, and block, and can help managers determine strategies for attaining fruit size such as irrigation, or near harvest input applications.
Labor Efficiency
Simple, shareable mobile Task Maps are available after a scan manages to determine areas of focus, and areas that don’t require intervention. They can then direct teams to exact block locations to complete a task.
Cloud dashboard data can also be used to look at predicted yield early, and plan bin placement.
Storage Planning
Fruit sizing at harvest dates is available at approximately 35 mm. This early sizing data can be provided to packhouses to help determine storage and packing strategies.
Crop Load Forecasting
Our Yield Prediction reports, which begin estimating the total possible crop load at around 35 mm (they don’t account for field sorting), can give marketers an early view for sales planning, and communication to key partners who are increasingly asking for validation on how predictions are obtained.
Historical data is also becoming available in 2024, so that predictions can be seen year over year.
Getting Fair Crop Insurance Returns
The Vivid XV maps every tree so you can provide insurance companies with an exact makeup of your farm to get the most accurate estimate for crop insurance.
Having an accurate baseline means that after weather events, you can scan your orchard to quantify loss.

Testimonials
We’re very happy to have been one of the first to try Vivid Machines’ Vivid XV spectral imaging system to increase yield forecasting accuracy in our apple orchards. By the end of the season last year, yield prediction accuracy was, on average, 90%, which gave us the confidence to commit to working with Vivid. We knew their technology could help us improve yield and quality while also increasing sales. We look forward to making full use of the Vivid XV system this growing season.
Kirk Kemp
We’ve enjoyed working with the Vivid Machines team. They were able to provide 91% accuracy on yield estimates, and we really appreciated the team’s excellent customer service.
Tom Gausman
With Vivid, I was able to allocate my labour resources to the places where it was needed most. During the summer, while looking through the Vivid dashboard, we noticed areas with apple counts that were too high. With this information, we went to those specific areas and hand thinned the trees.
Gerbe Botden
When we’re thinning, we scan the blossoms and the Vivid XV can tell me how many clusters are out there on each tree. I can look at the data at my desk with my coffee, see I have way too many blossoms on a section of my Ambrosia, as an example, and decide what to mix in my tank for spraying that specific area. With hand thinning, I can get right down to a tree and decide how many apples we need to take off that day. It’s not guess work any more.
