HortControl ANALYZE & VISUALIZE DATA

HortControl is the central software to setup, visualize and analyze your PlantEye measurements. Designed to be used by staff with any professional background with a user friendly interface. You can access HortControl from your office or in the field.

  • Experimental setup, control & monitoring
  • Data visualization, visualize parameters from single plants up to entire plots
  • Plant analysis apps, automated data analysis

PlantEye generates 3D plant models with spectral information. Our software calculates many parameters from these models and stores them in HortControl. Data from single plants or even complete fields can be analyzed.

Growth dynamics (height in mm) visualized over time. Due to the high scan interval you can see clear day & night dynamics.

Experiment set-up, control & monitoring

Once your experiment is running you can monitor it and immediately start analyzing.

  • Set-up experiments for large numbers of plants with different genotypes and treatment groups
  • Monitor experiments in real time
  • Monitor crops in real time
  • Monitor hardware and sensors status

Visualize Plant Data

Visualize all plant parameters with HortControl. Easily create the graphs you need to analyze your plants with features like:

  • Time aggregation
  • Grouping on genotypes and/ or treatments
  • Absolute or relative values 
  • Filter on time, treatment or genotypes
  • Automated spectral data analysis

Visualize the 3D model when you see interesting data or irregularities and get an in depth look of the plant.

Plant Analysis tools

HortControl has great tools for data analysis applications that normally require a data scientist:

  • Growth Analysis – box plots and quadrants
  • Germination Assays – growth thresholds and mapping
  • Correlation Module – Correlate HortControl data with third party or manual measurements

It is possible to request apps for specific use.

BrAPI – Automate the data transfer into any workflow

BrAPI logo With the implementation of BrAPI (breeding API) you can now automate the data transfer from HortControl into your workflow. No need any more to manually download the data on a routine basis and no more manual uploading to your analysis pipelines, machine learning models or anything else.

  • Automate the data transfer from HortControl into any workflow
  • interoperability between Phenospex data and other sources
  • Compatible with data standards for plant phenotyping like MIAPPE
