Botanic Analyzer

Botanic Analyzer is SC Solutions' satellite-based plant variety identification product for plant intellectual property (IP) holders, such as seed and crop biotech companies, that need to combat IP leakage: the unauthorised use of protected seeds and traits. It applies a transformer deep-learning AI model to multispectral satellite data to identify plant varieties, and SC Solutions states 81% precision in satellite-based plant variety identification. The output is independent evidence and reporting to support plant IP and registration processes, with comparative and trend analysis across growing seasons, which the company says complements existing evaluation methods.

The product page also lists agronomic features built on Earth observation imagery: monitoring vegetation health to identify stress signs, interpreting optical imagery to estimate soil health and moisture, yield forecasts to inform planting and harvesting, and access to the company's I-Sat Earth observation platform. SC Solutions delivers its work through tailored analyses, reports and expert consultancy. The company describes a case in which a leading sugarcane biotech company in Brazil partnered with it to deploy its IP inspection and IP protection.
