技术给人们的生活带来了许多积极的变化，过去漫长、技术性强、复杂的过程因技术变得更简单、更准确。这一过程也体现在农业研发过程中，如植物功能表型研究测量和分析。

在过去几十年里，育种家和科学家主要使用手工方法来测量和分析特定的植物生长和生产力因素，例如植物对水分胁迫、温度、CO2水平等的反应。测量以手工进行的，或者通过低通量系统进行，如气孔计、叶绿素荧光仪等，目前仍被世界各地的研究人员广泛用于温室和现场测量。此类系统一次只对一片特定的叶子进行一次测量，产生了不错的结果，但忽略了可能影响整个过程或整个植物的动态环境条件。因逐个进行测量，此类过程过去耗时、耗力。更重要的是，测量并未比较分析植物对相同现实环境的反应。除此之外，测量最终只提供了部分解释，结果可能狭隘、不全面，此类方法可能成本更高。

为了提供一个更好、更准确的解决方案，更深入了解植物在高级研究中的动态行为，PlantDiTech开发了PlantArray平台，这是一个独特的、全自动化的创新技术系统，可用来研究，实时对整个工厂性能的各个方面进行连续和同步试验

与以前常规低通量系统不同，PlantArray专门测量绝对蒸腾量、生物量、水分利用效率和气孔导度，并以极高的空间和时间分辨率（每天大约500个同步读数），结合虚拟专用数据库和环境传感，准确地评估植物的生产力和生长速率，效率远远高于人工测量且对被测植物的损害或影响为零。此外，PlantArray系统还为每个植物创建个性化的土壤水分条件。结合基于云的软件SPAC（土壤-植物-大气-连续体）分析（也是由PlantDiTech开发的），这些软件执行实时分析和统计，以提供关于植物生产力的最快、最准确的数据，从而加快研究并管理无限可能性，以探索植物的生长预测。

换言之，Plantarray将表型分析提升到了一个全新的水平，并保证了实现一个整体的功能生理过程，其特点是精密的测量技术、绝对可靠的结果、40多篇科学论文的支持以及用户友好的界面。该革新式系统地改变了研究植物的方式，并且研究耗时更少、省钱、省力。
