Case Study · AI Precision Agriculture
An independently conceived, designed, and built AI precision-agriculture platform optimizing water, fertilizer, and soil-treatment decisions using machine learning on real-world environmental and soil data. From a patent-backed prototype in Upper Egypt to a live product at goplanty.
A patent-backed self-watering smart pot (Egypt No. 196/2023) that reads soil moisture in real time and decides exactly when your plant actually needs water.
A ring of sensors around the soil surface triggers MORA's built-in reservoir the moment the ML model detects a moisture deficit — no guesswork, no overwatering.
Minimal, ceramic-finish enclosure designed to sit on a shelf or countertop — the technology stays invisible until the app tells you it's working.
The same decision engine, scaled to a 10-pod countertop hydroponic garden — guided seed capsules make growing herbs and greens close to foolproof.
Two hardware lines carry the PLANTY platform: MORA, the patent-backed self-watering smart pot for the home, and GROMY, a countertop hydroponic garden for herbs and greens — both driven by the same ML decision engine.
