Why this procedure was chosen
Absence of viable alternatives due to highly specialized, integrated nature of this requirement. No other supplier offers a ready-to-deploy ecosystem combining 3D phenotyping and direct trait-based sorting. No other supplier offers the necessary algorithms to operate such technologies, especially for forestry seeds. Off-the-shelf components or manual integration approaches do not meet performance, calibration, or regulatory requirements. Functional interoperability between imaging and sorting modules is unique to this system and cannot be externally replicated.
