RUMEX machines help farmers spray less by treating weeds only where they actually appear. Instead of blanket spraying entire fields, our AI-based system detects target plants during operation and applies herbicide precisely to those spots. This saves product, reduces costs and supports practical, sustainable weed control in grassland, row crops and specialty crops.

Vue d'ensemble technologique

  • Dernière révision : 03/07/2026
  • Date de sortie commerciale : 30/03/2025
  • Application : Weed control, powered by AI that detects monocots, dicots, volunteer potatoes, and crop plants, while distinguishing treated from untreated areas.

Vue d'ensemble de commercialisation

  • Niveau de préparation technologique : 10: Introduction sur le marché - Pleine opération commerciale
  • Unité en service - Global : 201 to 300
  • Modèle économique : Direct sales / Distributor network
  • Prix : $ 151K to $250K
  • Coûts de fonctionnement : Yes—there are license fees. The RUMEX (dock/sorrel) algorithm is free for all machine types. For arable farming, one algorithm costs €2,000/year. A second adds €1,000 (total €3,000), and a third adds €500 (total €3,500). For grassland, pricing starts at €500 per algorithm, with an additional €500 for each extra algorithm.

Couverture du marché, distributeurs et fournisseurs de services

  • Pays ou marchés adressés :

    Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Romania, Ukraine, Poland, Canada, England - for the future Spain, Yugoslavia, Italy, Scandinavian country´s

Performance & Impact Économique

  • ROI estimé :

    It depends on the weed pressure, acutal weeding method, pre emergence and after emergence, season workers cost, herbicide cost.
    Worst case: 5-7 years
    Best case: 2-3 years

  • Économies de produits phytosanitaires :

    Since the vehicle is driven at idle speed, fuel consumption is low, and pesticide savings of at least 70%–90% are possible.

  • Amélioration du rendement :

    It depends on the pre or after emergence, 1-15% per hectare.
    Some use cases went over 20%.

Caractéristiques techniques

  • Type de solution : Technologies de pulvérisation intelligente/de précision
  • Source d'énergie : When the front PTO is engaged, it powers the alternator, which supplies the system. A battery acts as a buffer to handle power spikes. In short: it runs on fuel, with no tractor connection other than the front PTO.
  • Puissance de tracteur requise :
  • Taille :
    • Metric: Folded: 1.60 (L) × 3.00 (W) × 3.75 (H) / Unfolded: 1.60 (L) × 9.00 (W) × 1.60 m (H)
    • Imperial: Folded: 5.25 × 9.84 × 12.30 ft / Unfolded : 5.25 × 29.53 × 5.25 ft
  • Poids net : 1,500kg (3.307 pounds)
  • Taille d'exploitation min. (en hectares) : It depends about the value of the crop, at least 60-80 ha ( 148–198 acres) for onions.
  • Débit de Chantier : You can operate day and night, so output depends on weather (rain, wind, etc.). At 5 km/h (≈ 3.1 mph) with a 9 m width (≈ 29.5 ft), expect about 3.7–4.5 ha/hour (≈ 9.1–11.1 acres/hour).
  • Vitesse de travail maximale : Max speed: 8 km/h ( 5.0 mph).
  • Entraxe : Adjustable for beds from 1.5–3 m (4.9–9.8 ft).
  • Puissance : Min. 40 HP (6 meter machine); 100 HP (9 meter machine).

Fonctionnalités et technologies

  • Fonctionnalité principale : RUMEX replaces full-field spraying with precise, plant-by-plant treatment. AI-powered cameras detect weeds in real time, while individually controlled nozzles target only the plants to be treated. Designed for reliable field use, it reduces input costs, chemical use, and environmental impact, with integrated lighting, control systems, and tank/pump equipment ensuring consistent performance.
  • Logiciel : The core technologies are AI-based camera recognition, real-time image processing and precise individual nozzle control. Cameras scan the field while the machine is driving, the AI identifies target weeds, and the spraying system activates only the required nozzles.
  • Connectivité : No GPS required. We only use mapping (with Agrometius, NL) for subsidy documentation.
  • Outils compatibles : RUMEX is a front-mounted, tractor-compatible spot sprayer with integrated AI cameras, lighting, and precision nozzles—no extra tools needed.

Plan de développement

  • Prochaine phase de développement : Next improvements focus mainly on algorithms; minor updates include new alternators for work lights.
