GUSS AUTOMATION

background

United States

About Herbicide GUSS

Herbicide GUSS is a high-tech autonomous sprayer with spot spraying technology provided by multiple precision weed detection sensors to detect, target and spray weeds on the orchard floor, reducing material usage and drift during application. Reducing the amount of material being sprayed increases safety for the operator, environment, and food produced. Herbicide GUSS is 23.5-feet long, 6.5-feet tall and ranges from 8-foot 4-inches to 19-feet wide depending on the boom extension. The hydraulic controlled, height adjustable booms accommodate 18-to-22-foot row spacing and tilt for varying berm sizes. The breakaway booms prevent damage to trees and crops. 

GUSS Automation continues to be an industry innovator. As the need for autonomous agriculture equipment continues to grow, GUSS Automation is developing new technologies to meet those needs. GUSS Automation’s R&D department’s industrious team is designing and building the next cutting-edge machines to propel autonomous equipment in the agriculture industry.

Smart tech Pitch by XSens : Beyond GPS: The Role of Inertial Sensors in Unlocking True Agricultural Autonomy

TUES 21

10:20 AM - 10:40 AM

Waite hall - Main stage

Autonomous agriculture demands precise, reliable navigation in challenging environments: fields with limited GNSS visibility, vibrations, and variable terrain.

Xsens delivers industry-proven IMU and RTK GNSS/INS solutions that enable centimeter-level accuracy and robust orientation data for agricultural robots and autonomous machines. Our advanced sensor fusion algorithm combines low-drift inertial data with raw GNSS data, thereby offering smooth, high-rate position data along with dead-reckoning for up to 45 seconds during GNSS outages.

In this session, we will showcase how Xsens’ portfolio helps equipment manufacturers and integrators overcome pain points such as intermittent GNSS outages, drift, and harsh field conditions—ensuring consistent, safe, and efficient autonomous operations in precision farming.
