Smart Cultivator
Stout Industrial Technology
No Labor. No Chemicals. No Problems The Stout Smart Cultivator is a software-defined, tractor drawn implement that uses machine vision and artificial intelligence to cultivate and weed fields using mechanical blades. We built the Smart Cultivator because everything else kept breaking down in the field and removing crops as well as weeds. Dependability and Accuracy are important. Each Smart Cultivator clears 1–2 acres per hour depending on soil conditions using mechanical blades controlled by our proprietary AI model that recognizes each weed and each plant individually with 99.99% accuracy. No crop kills. The machines are purpose-built to work in the field, day and night. You can even pressure-wash the machine. Since the machines are software-defined, their capabilities will only increase over time which protects your investment and ensures that your Stout implements continue to add more and more value to your program the longer you own them.

Edete Precision Technologies For Agriculture
The 2Be autonomous pollinator provides optimal dosing of pure pollen that also receives an electrostatic charge maximizing the liklihood of pollination. Using compressed air along with small fans the pollen is transferred to the tree in a very precise amount due to the encoder tied to the axle - pollen is dispensed relative to the speed of the tractor. The operator has full visibility and controls of the pollinator from inside the protected cab via a wireless tablet. An operator simply needs to fill the pollen canister and start driving. The 2Be autonomous pollinator does the rest.

In light of skyrocketing farm labor costs and shortages, the need for automated alternatives to manual tasks such as hand weeding has become a top priority for the vegetable industry. Vulcan is the first intra-row cultivator to offer a fully open architecture for high visibility and reliable weed control in all lighting conditions. The operator can easily monitor the quality of weeding with a quick peek over the shoulder as well as through the FarmWise in-cab monitor, a minimalistic interface that also allows the operator to make micro blade adjustments for added precision. Three critical technology pieces are brought into Vulcan: an industry-leading vision and lighting system, a proprietary machine learning software trained on millions of plant images, and precise weeding actuation. These are the core elements making Vulcan a unique implement able to offer precision weeding at scale. “With Vulcan, we are establishing a formula for deploying precise agricultural computer vision in the most reliable, clearest, and lightest way possible,” said Garrick Kremesec, CTO of FarmWise.
Robotti
Agrointelli
The ROBOTTI is an autonomous, versatile field robot that can be easily integrated into many everyday jobs in the fields, in horticulture and in tree nurseries or similar areas with row or bed crops. ROBOTTI is diesel powered, uses a standard three point linkage so it can be fitted with standard farm implements. There are two models of ROBOTTI – 150D and LR. The two ROBOTTI models differ in the number of engines, availability of a PTO drive, lifting power and tank volume capacity and thus in the autonomous range. Thanks to the three-point hitch is the ROBOTTI is an implement carrier that is designed for a wide variety of implements. The typical tasks are sowing, planting, hoeing, spraying and light tillage. The working speed is adjustable and allows autonomous continuous operations of up to 20 hours for the 150D and up to 60 hours for the LR. The ROBOTTI drives on four hydrostatically driven wheels of the same size; the front two are steerable. This allows the ROBOTTI to turn on the spot. The ROBOTTI works the areas completely autonomously after prior track planning. For navigation, it uses precise RTK GNSS technology with an accuracy of +/- 2 cm. The software enables planning, documentation and real-time monitoring in the online portal. The ROBOTTI has several safety systems such as pressure-sensitive bumpers and emergency stop switches up to the LIDAR 3D laser scanner and virtual GNSS-based field boundaries.
