Ecorobotix develops, produces, and sells ARA, the ultra-high precision field sprayer reducing chemicals by up to 95%. It takes the form of a 6-meter wide trailer towed by a tractor across crop fields at a speed of 7kmph. Using 6 integrated cameras and a precise AI-driven algorithm, ARA is able to detect and recognize every individual plant. Using our software application sold with ARA, the user can choose what treatment to apply to the selected crop. A row of 156 nozzles then sprays each selected plant individually with ultra-high precision rates.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Our product allows farmers to use up to 90% less chemical products such as fertiizers, herbicides, fungicides
- •Our product is extremely precise, it is able to detect and spray a plant within square of 6x6cm, leaving a plant outside of this surface untouched
- •The ARA works at a speed of 7km/h, treating 4 hectares per hour day or night even in windy conditions with no drift
- •Our Ultra high precision sprayer allows farmers to use up to 90% less chemical products such as fertilizers and pesticides when treating their crops against weeds
- •By significantly reducing chemical spraying, and therefore the drift cause by wind, soil and neighbouring ecosystems are preserved and allow fields for higher regeneration rates. Increase in crop yields has however not been quantified precisely yet
The Financial Benefits
- •Due to drastic cost cuts for treatment products our solution already is profitable after a few years of use
- •Our solution leads to improved yields and crop quality therefore increasing their potential value once on market, consequently bringing more revenue to the customer
