DXAS Agricultural Technology

DXAS Agricultural Technology is a pioneering company revolutionising industrial tomato farming by integrating Artificial Intelligence with agronomic expertise. As a joint venture between NEC Corporation and Kagome, we bring together advanced digital solutions and deep farming knowledge to help farmers optimise productivity while minimising environmental impact.


We combine cutting-edge AI, automation, and data-driven decision-making to support sustainable agriculture in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Chile, Turkey, and the U.S. With our flagship platform, CropScope, and the AI Smart Pulse system, we empower farmers with real-time insights, predictive analytics, and automated fertigation management.

Our Mission

At DXAS, our mission is to redefine precision agriculture by making AI-powered farming accessible, efficient, and sustainable. We aim to provide data-driven solutions that help farmers increase yield, optimise resource use, and reduce waste, ensuring a profitable and environmentally friendly farming future.

Our Vision

We envision a future where technology transforms agriculture, enabling farmers worldwide to produce more with less. By leveraging AI, automation, and real-time data, DXAS is shaping a smarter, more sustainable food production system that benefits both farmers and the environment.

Our History

From Research to Global Impact

2015

Where It All Began

The journey started in 2015, when Kagome and NEC began developing and testing AI-powered farming technology. The goal? To create a Low Input, High Output system that could match the expertise of master growers using data-driven recommendations.

2017

The Birth of CropScope

After years of research and testing in Europe, Australia, and the U.S., NEC introduced CropScope, an advanced AI-powered farming platform designed to support farmers with real-time field supervision, fertigation management, and predictive analytics.

2019

A Breakthrough Year

In 2019, the system was validated in Portugal and the U.S., where it demonstrated significant productivity gains. With the AI Smart Pulse system in place, farmers began seeing an increase in yield while reducing water and fertiliser waste.

2022

The Formation of DXAS Agricultural Technology

In June 2022, Kagome and NEC officially launched DXAS Agricultural Technology in Lisbon, Portugal, to scale CropScope globally and drive AI-driven agriculture forward.

2023

Scaling AI Smart Pulse

Following successful field trials, AI Smart Pulse was expanded to Portugal, Spain, and Italy, covering over 1,000 hectares of farmland. This system introduced automated fertigation management, allowing real-time AI-driven irrigation adjustments.

2024 & Beyond

A New Era of Digital Farming

This year, DXAS launched FieldView, an enhanced version of CropScope, making precision agriculture even more intuitive and accessible. In addition, we developed new AI features, such as:


  • Disease & Pest Prevention – AI-powered risk forecasts for early intervention.


  • Yield Estimation & Smart Traps – Automating production analysis & pest monitoring.

Our Core Values

DXAS is built on three key pillars that guide our innovation and impact:

Sustainability

We are committed to reducing agricultural waste, optimising water and fertiliser use, and promoting eco-friendly farming practices.

Innovation

By integrating AI, automation, and digital solutions, we empower farmers to make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency and yield.

Results-Driven

Our solutions are backed by real-world results, with documented productivity increases of up to +23% and significant reductions in water and fertiliser waste.
