AI Powered Date Palm Monitoring & Analysis
Project Overview
In collaboration with Tarmiz, Saiwa delivered and deployed the Hemaa.ai solution—our AI platform specifically tailored for date palm plantations. The Data‑Palm module caters to three main capabilities:
1.Palm Tree Health Monitoring – Early detection of palm stress, nutritional deficiencies, or pest infestation using aerial imagery combined with deep learning analytics via the Hemaa.ai platform.

2.Automated Tree Counting & Geolocation – High‑accuracy counting and mapping of individual trees across plantations using drone or satellite imagery processed through Hemaa.ai.

3.Weed Detection & Mapping – Location-based identification of weeds around tree rows to support targeted field interventions.

Key Features & Capabilities
Feature | Description |
Multi-modal Data Inputs | Supports drone photography, high-resolution satellite imagery, and optional thermal or RGB sensors. |
Advanced AI Models | Uses object detection networks like YOLO and EfficientDet for up to 99% detection accuracy and tree geolocation within ±2 m. |
Proactive Health Alerts | Enables early-stage identification of Red Palm Weevil infestation and stress signs before they are visible. |
Automated Tree Inventory | Efficiently catalogs thousands of date palms, providing spatial data and tree IDs for management. |
Weed Cluster Mapping | Vendors precise weed maps to inform selective chemical application and minimize costs and environmental impact. |
Workflow & Deliverables
- Data Capture – Imagery collected via drones or satellite over plantation fields.
- AI Analysis on Hemaa.ai – Algorithms process images to assess tree health, count palms, and detect weeds.
- GIS Mapping & Export – Georeferenced tree locations and anomaly zones visualized and exportable to GIS systems.
- Dashboard & Reporting – Insight dashboards for stakeholders to explore health alerts, weed zones, and inventory summaries.
Impact & Benefits
- Highly Accurate Results – Achieves detection and counting precision above 95%, even under varying terrain and lighting conditions.
- Early Pest Intervention – Significantly reduces damage by spotting infestations early and prompting timely treatments.
- Operational Efficiency & Cost Savings – Automates labor-intensive field tasks, lowering deployment costs and reducing error.
- Sustainability & Minimal Environmental Footprint – Weed detection minimizes pesticide usage by enabling selective treatment.
Roles & Collaboration
- Tarmiz (Tarmeez Tech) – Provided domain expertise, conducted field integration, and led project implementation at client sites.
- Saiwa – Managed overall project coordination, customized integration with client systems, and delivered end-user dashboards and reporting tools.
- Hemaa.ai – The AI‑platform powering all above capabilities (health analytics, tree detection, weed mapping); serves as the solution’s technical backbone (not co‑partner).
