PhenoAIxpert HTC is an ideal solution for phenotyping growing plants of a height up to 700 mm and with a diameter up to 500 mm. It can harbor pots up to 195 mm diameter, and maximum weight of 10 kg (plant, soil, water, and pot). It is suitable for many plant species including most common crops, vegetables, and performs morphological and physiological phenotyping with a range of sensors. Applications are numerous in research, breeding and product development. PhenoAIxpert HTC combines high flexibility in imaging with a compact footprint. The PhenoAIxpert HTC is a compact semi-automated phenotyping system, where a user loads the plants onto a conveyor for subsequent measuring. Plants are systematically transported by the conveyor through a series of imaging stations, where specialized cameras acquire high resolution images.

PhenoAIxpert HTC delivers data wherever multi-dimensional phenotyping at increased throughput is required. Applications comprise but are not limited to:

The PhenoAIxpert HTC is a compact phenotyping system with one cabinet that combines multiple imaging stations that are connected with a conveyor, which brings the plants from one imaging station to the next. All imaging sensors, corresponding lights, and scanning devices together with the conveying system are mounted inside a single cabinet. The PhenoAIxpert HTC combines the imaging flexibility of automated phenotyping systems with compact construction and is an affordable alternative to a fully automated space-demanding systems. With the unique lifting mechanism, plants can be precisely imaged from very early stages until the maximum height of 700 mm. The lifting mechanism elevates young seedlings or plants that generally stay small, so that they are right in the focus. Having a semi-automated operation mode, the users pre-load up to twelve plants into the system and start the image recording process. If a dark adaption phase before chlorophyll fluorescence imaging is demanded, this adaptation time can be added to the measuring cycle. After finishing all measurements inside the system, users exchange the plants for the next round of imaging, so that large sample numbers and regular measurements are enabled.
