What we do
Automating beekeeping π with AI vision and robots π€
We help π§π»βπ beekeepers with πΒ AI observability and π€Β robotic automation. We provide products so that beekeepers become more efficient and their colonies stay healthy.
We help π§π»βπ beekeepers to model and organize their apiary πΒ using our web-app. We develop and integrate IoT devices with camera and AI vision to report vital colony metrics and alert beekeepers in case of danger. Our long-term vision is a Robotic Beehive
For investors πΆβ
Gratheon is a data analytics app and hardware devices that help beekeepers do less manual labour and keeps bees healthy
Elevator pitchβ
π’ Iβm a software engineer and 5 years ago I became a beekeeper to improve pollination of my garden and get higher yields. To me, bees are also a cute pet
Bees are key species for our food security. Farmers are cooperating with beekeepers to combat Insufficient pollination and increase yields
But traditional beekeeping requires Observability of bee colony, because bees can experience Colony starvation , Colony without a queen, Swarming, Infestations and Diseases which weaken the colony and cause Overwintering collapse .
Observability is typically solved with a Physical labor and Time-consuming inspections. Dressed in a protective suit, in the summer heat, every week, you need to lift 20 kg beehive sections designed 150 years ago and notice small details while you are getting stung by defending bees, Intrusive inspections.
As your apiary grows, this becomes Unscalable work. Industrial beekeepers have Multiple apiaries at Distant locations that are hard to reach. Existing solutions do not adequately solve these issues
Solutionβ
π‘ Our solution is a beekeeping Web-app software as a service working in conjunction with fully autonomous multi-hive Robotic Apiary that can remotely inspect and manipulate beehives.
Our primary customers are Industrial beekeepers, they have enough money and need in robotic automation. They need large data analysis and automation to reduce manual labour.
Our secondary customers areBackyard beekeepers that benefit from the data analytics platform. It allows to improve organization of their apiary and plan next actions to prevent starvation, swarming, treat pests or harvest honey.
Saving bees improves pollination efficiency, farmers get more crops, beekeepers get more money, which funds us.
Join us to improve life of 100 million bee colonies worldwide.
