AA CAPTURS automated palm counting and growth assessment
Kuala Lumpur Kepong implemented AI palm counting and growth assessment across its estates

Agronomists needed to locate underperforming palms and investigate factors limiting yields. Palm counting and growth assessment required substantial labor.
Approach
KLK developed AA CAPTURS, combining its Canopy Size Index model with automated palm counting. The company reported full implementation across its estates in FY2025. Agronomists and estate managers used canopy maps to identify areas with poor growth.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The software combined a palm inventory with growth assessment for agronomic work. KLK reported lower labor requirements without quantifying the reduction.
