What AISPRID does

AISPRID is a French deep-tech company founded in April 2020 and headquartered in Saint-Malo, Brittany, that designs, manufactures, and commercializes autonomous robots for greenhouse agriculture, with tomato plant deleafing as its primary commercial application. The company was established by three co-founders—Nicolas Salmon (CEO), Pierre-Edouard Hannoush, and Morgan Kervoern—to address chronic labor shortages and physically demanding working conditions in greenhouse horticulture through high-precision robotics combined with proprietary AI and computer vision adapted for living plant environments. Its flagship product, the AISPRID D01, operates autonomously up to 20 hours per day, switches between greenhouse rows without human intervention, and uses an integrated vision system to identify leaves and execute clean cuts that limit disease propagation; the unit runs on a lithium battery with up to 20 hours of autonomy and recharges in under 2.5 hours. The platform is supplemented by Aisprid Connect, a client portal for real-time remote fleet monitoring and supervision over mobile networks.

AISPRID generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales of the D01 robot to enterprise greenhouse tomato growers, complemented by recurring software updates, remote fleet supervision, on-site hardware upgrades, and professional services covering training and turnkey implementation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company uses a consultative, demo-led enterprise sales motion with multi-year contracts tailored to individual greenhouse requirements. Go-to-market combines live greenhouse demonstrations across a partner network in France (Paimpol), Belgium (Proefstation, Sint-Katelijne-Waver), and the Netherlands (Axia, Naaldwijk), with presence at major industry trade shows including SIVAL (Angers) and GreenTech Amsterdam, plus earned media, customer testimonials, and direct website lead capture.

The company has raised €14.6 million across two funding rounds—a €4.6M seed in 2021 from Demeter, GO CAPITAL, and Breizh Up, and a €10M Series A in January 2025 led by Innovacom with participation from Bpifrance, Breizh Up, Demeter, and GO CAPITAL. AISPRID claims to operate the largest deployed fleet of autonomous robots in tomato greenhouses in France, with 50+ units commercially operational across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Named enterprise customers include major French tomato cooperatives Saveol, Prince de Bretagne, and Serres de Goulaine/Océane. Recognition includes the Sival d'Or 2024, GreenTech Robot Challenge Award 2024, France 2030 Industrial Pre-Series laureate designation, and I-Lab certification.

Core offering

AISPRID designs, manufactures, and commercializes autonomous high-precision robotics systems powered by artificial intelligence for greenhouse agriculture. Its flagship product, the AISPRID D01 robot, automates deleafing of tomato plants in greenhouses, performing up to 80% of this task continuously day and night while being remotely monitored and supported. The company also delivers training, on-site technical support, remote software updates, and the Aisprid Connect fleet management platform.

Product overview

AISPRID offers a unified product ecosystem centered on the AISPRID D01 autonomous deleafing robot, which represents the company's core commercial offering. The portfolio consists of the D01 robot as the primary product, supplemented by the Aisprid Connect fleet management platform for remote monitoring, live greenhouse demonstration services for prospect evaluation, and comprehensive training and support packages. The D01 robot handles the majority of autonomous deleafing operations in tomato greenhouses while human workers complement the robot's work for tasks requiring human judgment. This represents a single-product-focused architecture with supporting service modules rather than a multi-product platform.

Emerging peer because both target greenhouse horticulture automation with autonomous robotics, though Tortuga focuses on harvesting rather than deleafing.
• Small Robot Company: UK-based agricultural robotics startup developing small autonomous robots for weeding, mapping, and planting. Emerging peer because both are European ag-robotics pioneers targeting per-plant precision farming, though Small Robot Company focuses on arable crops rather than greenhouses.
• Bluewhite (formerly Blue White Robotics): Israeli company retrofitting tractors and farming vehicles with autonomous kits for spraying, mowing, and harvesting. Emerging peer because both bring autonomy and AI to specialty crop operations, though Bluewhite focuses on retrofits for existing tractors rather than purpose-built greenhouse robots.

Broad incumbents

• K\u00f6ckerling / Steketee (LEMKEN Group): Established European agricultural equipment manufacturers offering mechanical weeding and crop care implements, including camera-guided hoes and cultivators. Broad incumbent because both sell crop-care equipment to commercial growers, though LEMKEN/Steketee focuses on tractor-pulled implements for open-field farming.
