How SmartStriker X works

Sensor X detects the target

One sensor covers 3 metres of boom. Embedded AI identifies plants and estimates their biomass.

Sensor X vision sensor

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

No target: off · Target: selected dose

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.

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.

Listed integrations do not imply universal compatibility across a manufacturer’s range, nor availability of all three modes on every configuration. Final compatibility is confirmed before installation.

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.

Purchase options

Choose your license, then your payment plan.
We tailor the proposal to your equipment and crops.

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
Request a one-shot proposal

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.
