The world’s first indoor multi-sensor system designed to conduct in-depth research into plant phenotyping, crop and soil properties and management.
At the forefront of precision seed and crop technology innovation, the Glasshouse Phenotyping Platform is changing our understanding of what we grow and where; how we use fertilisers and pesticides; how much we water and when we harvest.
Unlock the potential of plant health and productivity
Suspended on a moving gantry above the glasshouse floor, the platform housing encases a range of state-of-the-art imaging cameras.

“The food supply chain contributes 7% of gross value added to the UK economy (£109 billion) and most of this, whether crops or animals, is underpinned by plant and grass breeding.”
Sensitive enough to observe root hairs in the soil, the wide range of Phenotyping Platform research applications include monitoring growth conditions and optimisation of quality and yield, whilst saving time and labour costs. Combined with Cranfield University developed evaluation software, modelling and analytics, trialling applications include:
