The High-Throughput Plant Phenotype Acquisition and Analysis Platform is an integrated imaging and data system built for medium- and large-scale greenhouse research. It combines an automated conveyor system with multidimensional imaging and on-board edge computing to capture and analyze plant phenotypic parameters at scale—without manual intervention at each step.
The platform supports visible 2D imaging, visible 3D imaging, and hyperspectral imaging, which can be integrated into a single fully automated workflow. As plants move along the conveyor, each sample is automatically identified by barcode or ID code, its imaging data are captured at the target position, and all records are linked to that sample automatically. An optional high-precision weighing module enables biomass determination during transport.
Typical research applications include monitoring plant growth under controlled greenhouse conditions, assessing responses to abiotic stress, evaluating disease progression, and any scenario requiring repeated, high-throughput phenotypic measurements across large plant populations.
Because imaging modality combination, conveyor configuration, and data management capacity are matched to each facility's layout and study design, this platform is configured to your protocol. Contact us to request a quote and discuss the configuration that fits your research.

What types of imaging does the platform support?
The platform can be integrated with visible 2D imaging, visible 3D imaging, and hyperspectral imaging units. These modalities can be combined into a single automated acquisition workflow, allowing researchers to collect complementary phenotypic data from the same plant sample in one pass.
How are plant samples identified and tracked through the system?
The system automatically reads an identification code on each plant sample. When a plant reaches the target acquisition position on the conveyor, the system links the incoming imaging and measurement data to that sample's record automatically, eliminating manual data entry at the point of collection.
Is biomass or fresh weight measurement available?
Yes. An optional weighing module using high-precision sensors can be added to the system. It determines sample weight while plants are in transit on the conveyor, integrating mass data into the same automated data record as the imaging outputs.
What greenhouse or indoor environments is this platform suited for?
The platform is designed for a variety of controlled indoor scenarios, including standard research greenhouses and growth chambers. Documented application areas include plant growth studies, abiotic stress response experiments, and disease-level analysis under controlled conditions.
How is data stored and kept secure?
The platform uses a secure data transmission mode and supports unlimited storage space expansion, so data capacity can grow alongside the study. The data management unit is designed to protect both research data integrity and user data security.
