Smarter Spraying with SmartStriker X
DARLING DOWNS SPRAY TECH (DDST) is proud to bring you the latest in precision spraying: the Carbon Bee SmartStriker X. This advanced spraying system is changing how Aussie farmers manage weeds, helping you save time, money and chemical inputs.
We don’t just sell SmartStriker X. We work with you to set it up, show you how to use it and support you every step of the way.
What is the SmartStriker X?
SmartStriker X gives you full control over what you spray, where you spray it and how much product you use. It uses real time sensors and artificial intelligence to detect weeds and target them with accuracy.
It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to cut input costs, save water, and improve crop quality.
DARLING DOWNS SPRAY TECH
is your local distributor. We’re ready to help you install it on your existing sprayer and start saving from day one.
“DARLING DOWNS SPRAY TECH brings you the tools to reduce waste, save money and spray smarter. This is more than a sprayer upgrade; It’s a smarter way to farm.”
Three Powerful Spray Options
DARLING DOWNS SPRAY TECH is committed to machinery built to withstand the tough Australian conditions.
- Spot Spraying: Spray only where weeds are found. Nothing wasted. Nothing missed.
- Dual Dose: Low dose all over. Big dose only on big weeds. Best of both worlds.
- Modulation:
Spray amounts change based on the size of the weed or crop. Helps in mixed weed stages or when spraying fungicide or nitrogen.
Inside the SmartStriker X
Every part of the SmartStriker X is built for precision and performance. Here’s a look at the three key components that DARLING DOWNS SPRAY TECH supplies and supports, working together to deliver real-time, targeted spraying in any paddock.
Controller X
Controller X is the central processing unit of the SmartStriker X system. It processes the data from the sensors and controls the sprayer's actions. It receives real-time information from Sensor X, processes it using embedded artificial intelligence, and directs the sprayer.
ISOBUS VT
ISOBUS VT (Virtual Terminal) is a standardised in-cab screen system that lets different farm machines and implements talk to each other using one display. The ISOBUS VT shows real-time spray data, weed maps, and lets you choose spray modes and targets.
Sensor X
Sensor X combines 3D and RGB cameras to scan up to 3 metres ahead of the sprayer boom and capture images of the field. It uses artificial intelligence to analyse these images in real time and distinguish between crops and weeds.
SmartStriker x KEY FEATURES
-
Spot Spraying
The system detects individual weeds and applies a full dose of chemical only where it’s needed. This helps reduce chemical use, avoids over-spraying and keeps your crop and soil in better condition.
-
Dual Dose Mode
SmartStriker X can apply a light rate across the whole boom and a higher rate when it detects bigger or more stubborn weeds. This ensures full coverage while still targeting problem areas more aggressively.
-
Modulation Spraying
The spray rate adjusts in real time based on the size or density of weeds or crops. It’s especially useful in paddocks with mixed weed growth or when applying fungicide or nitrogen according to crop need.
-
Green on Brown Detection
The system identifies green plant matter on bare soil, ideal for stubble or pre-sowing knockdowns. It ensures effective spraying during burn-off while cutting back on wasted product.
-
Green on Green Detection
SmartStriker X can spot weeds growing among crops by analysing colour, shape and texture. This allows you to control weeds without damaging your crop, even in dense plantings.
-
Real-Time Mapping and Records
As you spray, the system creates detailed maps of what was sprayed and where. This data syncs to the HIVE platform, giving you full traceability for farm records, planning and SFI compliance.
-
Fast and Flexible Setup
SmartStriker X works with most major sprayer brands and fits easily into existing setups. It’s ISOBUS compatible, runs at speeds up to 25 kilometres per hour and operates just as well at night as it does during the day.

SmartStriker X Overview
This video introduces the Carbon Bee SmartStriker X as a selective spraying system designed to reduce herbicide use by up to 85%. Compatible with various sprayer models, it uses sensors and cameras with AI to scan fields in real-time and targeting weeds. The system offers multiple operating modes (like green on brown and green on green), provides real-time feedback via an in-cab terminal, and ultimately aims to optimise chemical inputs, reduce crop phytotoxicity, and potentially boost yields.
Spray by day or by night
This video highlights the night weed detection capabilities of the SmartStriker X system by Carbon Bee. Thanks to its built-in hyperspectral sensors and advanced artificial intelligence, the system doesn’t rely on daylight to detect weeds. It can scan and identify plants in real time, even in low-light conditions. This means you can take advantage of cooler night-time hours, reduce drift from wind and stay on top of your spraying schedule when daylight hours are limited.
