Sabanto Autonomy System by Sabanto

Sabanto
United States of America

Sabanto develops autonomy solutions for farms by retrofitting existing tractors with autonomous driving technology. Designed for row-crop and speciality-crop farmers facing labour shortages and rising machinery costs, its hardware-agnostic platform helps growers maximise their existing fleets, improve equipment utilisation and deploy smaller, lighter machines that help preserve soil health, without requiring major investments in new machinery.
