Company profile
researched Aug 2026Beagle Technology develops AI-guided pruning and harvesting equipment for vineyards and specialty crop fields. Its See and Cut software applies real-time camera vision to identify plant structure, growth patterns and optimal cut or harvest points, and then controls conventional hydraulic and pneumatic implements accordingly. The stated aim is to mechanize hand-labor tasks such as pruning, thinning, harvesting and crop management using machinery growers already operate.
The product line consists of an AI control box (camera and software), the V100 Harvester for vegetable harvesting, and the B100 and B200 pruners for wine grapes. The company states the systems mount on any tractor without calibration, operate at normal tractor speeds without requiring driver attention, work multiple rows simultaneously, and achieve 1/8-inch control accuracy. It also cites a two-hour crew training requirement, same-day service support and remote automatic software updates.
Beagle Technology is based in California and had 6 employees according to a March 2026 funding report. The same report describes the company as an AI farming equipment solution provider that combines artificial intelligence with traditional hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Founding story
Beagle Technology was founded in California by engineer Yang Fang, based on the premise that the primary opportunity in agriculture was not smarter machines but reducing growers' largest cost, hand labor.
Business model
Beagle sells AI control hardware and software-enabled pruning and harvesting implements that integrate with growers' existing tractors, supported by service and remote software updates. The website offers a two-day free field trial as an entry point.
Revenue from sale of AI control boxes and pruning and harvesting machines to growers, with ongoing service support and software updates.
Traction
The company states its systems are used by commercial growers and equipment manufacturers at scale across thousands of acres, and publishes a testimonial from a vineyard manager at The Wine Group. It claims labor-cost reductions of at least 50%.
Latest developments
A March 2026 report stated Beagle Technology had secured $8.2 million in new investment capital, to be used for product development, manufacturing scale-up, customer support and market expansion.

Market position
Positions itself as a practical mechanization layer that retrofits equipment growers already use, rather than a full autonomous machine, with field deployments in California and Washington and investors from the AI and agriculture sectors.
Retrofit approach that adds AI vision control to standard hydraulic and pneumatic implements on any tractor without calibration, combined with stated 1/8-inch cutting accuracy at normal tractor speeds and a short crew training requirement.
Technology
Real-time camera vision and AI models that identify plant structure and optimal cut or harvest points, packaged as the See and Cut software running on an AI control box that drives existing hydraulic and pneumatic actuators. The company states 1/8-inch control accuracy, operation at normal tractor speeds, no calibration on mounting, multi-row operation, and remote automatic software updates.
Go-to-market
Direct sales driven by inbound calls scheduled through the website, with a two-day free in-field trial and follow-on service support; the company also references relationships with large equipment manufacturers.
Commercial crop growers, particularly wine grape vineyards and specialty vegetable operations; the company also cites use by equipment manufacturers.
Geography
United States, headquartered in California; field-tested with commercial growers in California's Central Valley and coast, and in Washington.
History
Founder Yang Fang worked on pioneering autonomous tractors in 2016; the company subsequently shifted its focus from autonomy to mechanizing skilled hand-labor tasks, which it identified as growers' largest cost. Its See and Cut technology was first proven in vineyard pruning and was later extended to vegetable harvesting.
