Viscon launches EVA Scoutr at GreenTech 2025, setting a new benchmark for autonomous crop scouting in high-tech greenhouses.
As the global food system faces mounting pressure—from climate change and resource scarcity to labor shortages and rising demand—innovation in horticulture is no longer optional. It’s essential. At GreenTech Amsterdam 2025, Viscon Group proudly unveiled a breakthrough in autonomous scouting: EVA Scoutr, a Level 4 autonomous robot designed to help growers reduce chemical inputs, improve crop health, and accelerate the transition toward a 100% green future.
A Launch That Sparked Global Interest
The debut of EVA Scoutr at GreenTech 2025 drew widespread attention from across the horticultural value chain. From Dutch innovators to international growers, greenhouse builders, automation engineers, and agri-tech specialists, the booth became a hub of curiosity and conversation.
What captivated visitors wasn’t just EVA’s sleek design or autonomous navigation—it was the depth of its capabilities. EVA demonstrated how it autonomously scouts entire greenhouses, detecting over 15 pests, diseases, and nutrient issues with 10 cm precision. Through live demonstrations and visual outputs, including AI-generated heatmaps and image-based detections, attendees saw firsthand how EVA delivers plant-level insights that traditional sampling methods simply can’t match.
This level of precision has the potential to transform crop protection strategies. By enabling early, localized intervention, EVA helps prevent the spread of issues before they escalate—protecting yields and reducing unnecessary treatments. At the same time, its 22/7 autonomous operation significantly reduces the need for manual scouting, freeing up labor for higher-value tasks. The result? A smarter, more efficient greenhouse—and a clear path toward higher productivity with lower input costs.

Powered by Fermata’s Proven AI Models
At the core of EVA’s intelligence is a powerful software platform that transforms high-resolution imagery into actionable insights. This capability is made possible through a strategic partnership with Fermata, a leader in vision-based pest and disease detection.
Fermata’s AI models are trained on over 500,000 labeled images and have been validated across global greenhouse operations. These models are capable of identifying early signs of over 15 pests, diseases, and viruses with exceptional accuracy. By integrating these proven models into EVA’s mobile scouting platform, Viscon has significantly enhanced detection precision and coverage.
Through the intuitive EVA Management Studio, users can schedule scouting tasks, monitor robot activity, and access real-time health maps, historical trends, and weekly reports.
Designed with Growers, Built for the Future
EVA Scoutr is more than a technological breakthrough—it’s the result of close collaboration with Bryte {https://bryte.nu/}, a forward-thinking grower with decades of experience. This partnership ensured EVA was tested and refined in real-world greenhouse environments, aligning its capabilities with the practical needs of modern horticulture.
From seamless integration—requiring no additional infrastructure—to robust obstacle detection and IP56-rated durability, EVA is engineered for efficient, scalable deployment. Every detail reflects input from growers who understand the pressures of daily operations.
By automating repetitive, time-sensitive scouting tasks, EVA empowers growers to shift their focus from manual monitoring to strategic decision-making. It supports a transition from reactive crop protection to proactive, precision-based management—laying the foundation for smarter, more resilient food production.
EVA Roadmap: A Platform for the Future
EVA Scoutr marks the beginning of a new generation of autonomous agrobotics from Viscon. Commercial availability is planned for the Dutch market by the end of 2025, with an initial focus on tomato crops. Expansion across Europe and into the Americas is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
In parallel, Viscon is actively developing additional functionality and data models to support other high-vine crops such as peppers and strawberries.
But EVA’s evolution doesn’t stop at crop expansion. The roadmap includes future modules for crop health monitoring—transforming EVA into a comprehensive platform for precision horticulture.
By automating repetitive, time-sensitive tasks, EVA enables growers to shift their focus from manual monitoring to strategic decision-making. It supports the transition from reactive crop protection to proactive, data-driven management—paving the way for a greener, more resilient food system.
