About
About CNH Industrial
CNH’s autonomy work includes the R4 family of driverless specialty-crop robots and integrations that bring Bluewhite autonomy to existing orchard and vineyard tractors. These systems target repetitive work such as mowing, spraying and crop care in environments where labour availability and narrow operating spaces constrain conventional equipment.
The group also applies machine vision to spraying through systems such as SenseApply, which identifies vegetation and controls application in real time. CNH commercialises these capabilities through complete machines, dealer support and farm-management workflows rather than selling autonomy as an isolated research stack.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-11 - Facility Opening - CNH Industrial opens Modena simulation hub and AutoStore robotic parts warehouse
CNH Industrial announced a EUR 21 million investment at its Modena site. The facility includes advanced simulation for product development and autonomous-feature sensor testing. The parts logistics setup includes an AutoStore robotic retrieval warehouse serving more than 1,200 dealers.
Source - 2026-03-09 - Deployment - CNH Industrial automates distribution throughput with AutoStore
The distribution hub uses an AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system. The operation processes 15,000 order lines per day. Carton handling reaches 35 cartons per minute.
Source - 2025-11-08 - Product Launch - New Holland previews R4 autonomous robot family
R4 Electric Power targets vineyard rows from 1.0 to 1.5 metres. R4 Hybrid Power adds a 44 kW generator and PTO interfaces for orchard implements. Both variants remained development concepts at the preview.
Source - 2025-02-10 - Capability - CNH adds SICK 3D LiDAR to New Holland IntelliSense
The MRS1000 detects windrow position and shape for automated guidance. IntelliSense applies the sensor data to automated baling workflows.
Source - 2023-11-14 - Deployment - Stereolabs vision integrates across autonomous tractor platforms
Stereolabs documented ZED cameras and its perception platform across CNH Industrial New Holland and Case IH electric tractors. The integrations also covered cabinless autonomous tractor units from LEMKEN and KRONE. ZED stereo depth and perception were used as inputs for navigation and autonomous agricultural operation.
Source - 2021-11-30 - Acquisition - CNH Industrial completes acquisition of Raven Industries
CNH Industrial completed its acquisition of Raven Industries, a U.S.-based precision agriculture technology company. Raven added autonomous and precision-agriculture capabilities that CNH could integrate into Case IH and New Holland machinery. The acquisition remains a core marker for CNH Industrial exposure to agricultural autonomy and machine guidance.
