TraitFinder phenotyping digital plant measurements

Experience the Future: HortControl next

Our next-generation software for advanced real-time phenotyping and 3D analysis is now available.

Accelerate Your Discovery

WITH High-Confidence R&D Decisions

Stop relying on subjective visual scores. Transform your lab into an automated screening powerhouse and capture the “Invisible” Phenotype with our patented PlantEye sensor technology.

Eliminate the Manual Bottleneck in Your Research

Subjective Scoring vs. Objective Reality

Manual data collection is slow and prone to human error. It delays your breakthroughs and wastes valuable laboratory space. TraitFinder automates the path from plant to insights, delivering high-quality, reproducible data in any environment.

Move from Plant to Insight Faster

Whether in a lab, growth chamber, or greenhouse, TraitFinder increases your research throughput. It provides a flexible solution without the constraints of large, fixed imaging cabinets.


    • Fail Fast, Save Budget: Spot non-performing formulations weeks earlier than manual methods allow.

    • Maximize Throughput: Run simultaneous experiments and automate data acquisition to screen more plants.

    • Ensure High Data Quality: Generate precise, objective data on plant development and physiology for reliable, reproducible results.

    • Optimize Your Space: Implement a powerful phenotyping system with a compact, adjustable footprint.

    • Flexible Deployment: Utilize a plant-to-sensor or a non-intrusive sensor-to-plant approach, adapting to the specific needs of your research environment.

Unlock powerful physiological parameters by merging 3D vision with multispectral imaging

PlantEye’s patented process combines 3D imaging with multispectral analysis to offer detailed views of plant health and functional traits. Surpassing human visual capabilities, you can obtain key indicators such as color differentiation and NVDI.

Swap destructive manual methods for high-quality, automated 3D measurements

Save time by reducing the need for time-consuming manual and visual phenotyping processes. TraitFinder and PlantEye automate the accurate measurement of morphological parameters like 3D leaf area, plant height, and digital biomass.

Unlock Powerful Physiological Insights

Our patented process merges 3D vision with multispectral imaging to offer detailed views of plant health beyond human capabilities.

Versatile Across Locations & Applications

TraitFinder is a portable workstation designed for parallel experiments. It only needs standard power and network connections to start delivering data.

Plant-to-Sensor Approach

Maximize Daily Throughput

Move plants to the workstation for rapid batch screening. Use the integrated grid for perfect positioning and high-speed data acquisition.

Sensor-to-Plant Approach

Protect the Microclimate

Move TraitFinder over your plants with our sensor-to-plant approach. This eliminates movement-induced stress and keeps data variability to a minimum.

Trusted by World-Renowned Organizations

Our digital plant parameters are cited in scientific publications across both industry and academia.

Unmask the True Cause of Water Loss

Competitors only measure weight. We provide the full context. By integrating DroughtSpotter, you gain the world’s only platform that combines 3D structure, multispectral health, and gravimetric weight.


  • Growth vs. Consumption: Normalize water use against real-time 3D biomass. Precisely tell if a plant is using more water or if it is simply larger.

  • Stop Guessing the Cause: Differentiate between physiological stress and morphological changes. Competitors miss this critical 3D structural context.

  • Full Process Automation: Eliminate manual watering and heavy lifting. Calculate Water Use Efficiency (WUE) automatically using high-resolution gravimetric data.
