Smart Guided Systems

Smart Guided Systems, now operating as Smart-Apply, is an agricultural technology company specializing in precision spray systems for high-value crops such as orchards, vineyards, and nurseries. The company's flagship product, the Smart-Apply Intelligent Spray Control System, utilizes LiDAR technology to sense the presence, size, and density of individual plants, adjusting chemical application in real-time. This approach significantly reduces chemical waste, water consumption, and environmental runoff while improving overall application efficiency and crop health. In 2023, the company was acquired by John Deere, integrating its advanced sensing and automation capabilities into the global leader's precision agriculture portfolio.
