HarvestMaster, SCiO Form Strategic Partnership to Advance Seed Research
HarvestMaster and SCiO have announced a partnership that will see SCiO’s NIR technology incorporated into HarvestMaster’s on-combine GrainGage weigh systems for seed research.
Based on the same technology found in SCiO’s revolutionary SCiO Cup material sensing platform, HarvestMaster’s NIR-equipped GrainGages will provide accurate moisture, protein, and oil predictions at the time of harvest. Producers and researchers no longer have to bag samples and ship them to facilities with benchtop NIR units to gather this data.
“Integrating SCiO’s NIR technology into our GrainGages is a huge step forward in seed research,” said Ray Newman, HarvestMaster Product Manager. “This is arguably the single biggest advancement our GrainGage has ever seen, the real-time data provided in the field during harvest will drastically improve efficiency and be an invaluable asset to the future of the industry.”
“We’re excited to partner with SCiO and offer this technology at a low cost compared to other on-combine NIR options. This partnership will provide lasting benefits and make the upgraded H2 GrainGage, new H3, and future HarvestMaster GrainGages essential tools for harvest data collection.”

SCiO’s NIR technology is backed by ready-to-use calibrations and data models for a large variety of crops. This technology also allows for custom calibrations and models to be created to meet research needs.
“SCiO portable units are being used by thousands of users in the field today to analyze seeds and grains,” said Damian Goldring, CTO and co-founder of Consumer Physics. “This new partnership with HarvestMaster introduces a ground-breaking product for seed and grain analysis on combine. It not only saves time and money, it brings research to a whole new level by generating a lot more data and making it available in real time.”
“As the market requires the food industry to find solutions for sustainability, this new product can help speed up the next generations of seeds.”
