Plant health constitutes a foundation of agricultural production, while the timely detection of diseases and harmful organisms is critical to ensuring a sustainable and safe food chain.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems are significantly reinforced by artificial intelligence and automation technologies, providing capabilities for prediction and intervention with precision.
Conventional disease detection methods rely primarily on human observation and are susceptible to delays or errors, a fact which accelerates the spread of infestations and increases the use of plant protection products.
AISE introduces an innovative ecosystem of smart sensors, robotic traps, and mobile applications that enable the real-time monitoring of harmful organisms in tomato crops.
The implementation of these technologies aims not only at the immediate control of infestations, but also at the drastic reduction in the use of chemicals, thereby reinforcing the Green Deal objective for sustainable agriculture by 2030.

The AISE project brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts in artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, agricultural technology, robotics engineering, information technology, and agronomic sciences, with the objective of developing innovative smart systems for the timely detection and monitoring of plant health. The project focuses on the development of automated technologies for the analysis of image and environmental data by means of deep learning models, as well as on the development of mobile and robotic solutions equipped with high-precision sensors for the recording of symptoms of insect and fungal infestations in tomato cultivation. In parallel, it integrates an intelligent, machine learning-based decision support system for integrated pest management and for the reduction in the use of chemical plant protection products, thereby contributing to the objectives of the European Green Deal for sustainable agriculture.
