Own image recognition (machine learning); not a language model. Scouting data is stored centrally and can be viewed by Koppert advisers. The general privacy statement of Koppert (2018, not specific to the app) mentions storage in data centres of service providers in Germany (according to the provider). Many tools build on a large model from, for example, OpenAI or Anthropic. If in doubt, ask for the data processing agreement: it states where your data goes.

- How much does Natutec Scout cost?

- Who is Natutec Scout for?
- Natutec Scout is aimed at greenhouse horticulture. It fits work such as having climate, irrigation and lighting controlled autonomously based on sensor data and weather forecasts, forecasting harvest and production weeks ahead for planning, sales and staffing, and spotting pests and diseases early with cameras, sticky traps, drones and scouting robots.
- What should I look out for with AI in greenhouse horticulture?
- Cultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.
