Projects

In 2026, Saiwa continues its collaboration with Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) to further enhance drone-based monitoring of invasive aquatic vegetation. Building on last year’s high-accuracy RGB-based Water Soldier detection pipeline, this new phase focuses specifically on determining whether each detected plant is located above or below the water surface.

Saiwa Inc. built and delivered an AI-driven scholarship matching system for SAIGE, helping Indigenous students across Canada find and apply for scholarships tailored to their identity, education, and region. The platform automates bursary collection from government databases, uses AI for matching and ranking, and supports pre-filled applications with admin validation — significantly improving accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency.

The project introduces a groundbreaking solution to combat Fusarium dry rot, a major issue for potato producers in Alberta, causing millions in annual losses. The solution combines two advanced technologies: eDNA monitoring to track Fusarium spore populations and AI-powered wounding detection to identify mechanical damage during harvest. With industry partnerships, the project aims to develop species-specific Fusarium detection kits, integrate real-time monitoring, and reduce storage waste. By providing predictive insights, the project seeks to improve storage yield retention and offer proactive disease management tools to producers.

Saiwa Inc., in collaboration with Mohawk College, built the Follomotion back-end services—a suite enabling real-time motion capture, camera calibration, and pose estimation. Delivered within one month and supported for six months, the project provided scalable, API-first infrastructure that enhanced precision, adaptability, and reliability. The solution empowers industries such as sports, fitness, healthcare, and rehabilitation with cutting-edge motion tracking technology.
