Sensor X detects the target
One sensor covers 3 metres of boom. Embedded AI identifies plants and estimates their biomass.

EMBEDDED VISION+REAL-TIME DETECTION+NOZZLE-LEVEL CONTROL
How SmartStriker X works
Controller X calculates the dose
The central ECU combines detections, anticipates nozzle positions and sends a dose command for each nozzle to the spraying system.
ISOBUS provides in-cab control
The operator uses the ISOBUS interface to operate the system and view system information.
Weed detection on bare ground and within crops
Choose a detection license for the crops and field conditions in which you work.
Green on Brown
Detect vegetation against bare soil or stubble to target weeds before or between crops.
Green on Green
Distinguish weeds from the growing crop. Coverage depends on the crop model and its validated growth-stage limits.
Spot, dual rate and real-time variable-rate application
After detecting the target, the system determines how much each nozzle should apply.
Spot spraying: apply only on the target
A nozzle applies the selected dose when a target is detected. Between targets, it stays off.

Dose by nozzle
Dual rate: switch between two dose levels
The same nozzle applies a low background dose across the field and a higher dose on detected targets. A second tank or spray line is not required for this strategy.

Dose by nozzle
Modulation: adapt the dose to biomass
Each nozzle’s command varies with estimated target biomass, within selected lower and upper limits. Smaller and larger targets can receive different doses.

What does BBCH mean?
BBCH is the crop growth-stage scale. The numbers above are the upper limits stated for the current models, not blanket approval for every weed, field condition or growth stage. Grassland coverage specifically includes dock detection. Exact licensed scope is confirmed in your proposal.
Green-on-Brown: bare ground and stubble. Desiccation use cases: cotton and potato up to BBCH 33; soybean up to BBCH 29. Coverage status: October 2026.
Compatible spraying systems
Carbon Bee sends nozzle-level decisions. Your spraying system carries them out.
PWM integrations and other supported spraying architectures let SmartStriker X work with different equipment platforms. We confirm the exact controller, valve configuration and available modes for your machine.

HIVE — treatment records and dealer support
Review field work and support connected machines from one platform.
Treatment maps and mission statistics
Review application maps, treated areas, rates and recorded mission activity. Data is stored on the machine during offline spraying and synchronizes when connectivity is available.
Dealer access
Manage the machines you support
Within their authorized scope, dealers can:
- View their fleet and manage machine owner assignments.
- Filter fleet statistics by machine, crop and date.
- Review mission activity across the machines they support.
- Use connected service tools to investigate issues and follow support tickets.
Diagnose hardware and sensor status
Authorized dealers can inspect system health, power inputs, sensors and recent events. Remote diagnostics and system updates require connectivity and the appropriate access rights.

LICENSE OPTIONS
Choose Green on Brown or Green on Green
Your detection license is independent of the payment plan. Select the capabilities that match your current operation.
Green on Brown
Vegetation detection on bare ground and stubble.
Green on Green
Weed detection within the supported crops and growth stages in your license.
Upgrade
Upgrade as your requirements change. Start with GoB and upgrade to GoG, or review your licensed scope as your operation changes. Upgrade pricing, crop coverage and any additional license requirements are confirmed in your proposal.
One-shot purchase
Purchase your configured system with a single payment at installation.
- Hardware and the licenses you need
- Installation specified separately in your proposal
- Purchased license rights defined in your contract
Deferred purchase over 36 months
Pay for hardware and installation upfront, with license payments spread over 36 months.
- The first payment includes license month one
- Then 35 further monthly license payments
- Acquisition payments end after the agreed schedule
Both options are subject to a tailored quotation and agreed contractual terms. The 36-month plan may have a different total cost from a one-shot purchase. Ask for a comparison for your configuration.

Installation and operation questions
Can I use the system at night?+
RGB detection requires suitable imagery. Additional lighting is required for night operation. Your installation and operating conditions must be checked with Carbon Bee.
What is included in the license and its updates?+
Your proposal specifies the crops, functions, acquired rights and update terms. A GoG license does not automatically include every future crop or feature.
How much can I save?+
Savings depend on weed pressure, crop, field conditions and application strategy. We assess your own operation rather than promise a universal result.
