- Number of units in service : 11 - 50
- Price : over-500K
- Business model : direct-salesdistributor-network
Technical specifications
- Robot’s primary need : The SpotSprayer addresses the fundamental need to drastically reduce chemical usage by applying crop protection products only where weeds or target plants are actually present, cutting input costs, minimizing environmental impact, and improving overall spraying efficiency.
- Power source : Electric Energy
- Horse power : 180hp
- Size : 12m x 2,25m x 2,2m
- Net weight : 2950kg
- Productivity : 11,9 acres per hour
Functionalities and technologies
- Functionality : The SpotSprayer enables AI-driven, real-time detection of individual weeds and selectively applies crop protection products only where needed. It operates at full driving speed, maintains high spraying accuracy through camera-based vision and fast valve control, and supports multiple modes such as single-weed spraying, band spraying, and full-width coverage.
- Embedded technologies : Vision System via Camera, liquid sensors and boom height sensors
- Tools :
- Connections : *) the machine needs to be pulled by a tractor *) no *) no *) the tractor can drive via GPS
Development phase
- Next development phase : Higher working withs, higher precision, higher working speed, lower distance between the nozzels
