About
About Ecorobotix
Ecorobotix develops AI-guided precision spraying for crop protection and plant nutrition. ARA is a tractor-mounted implement that uses cameras and onboard recognition software to identify individual crops and weeds, then activates closely spaced nozzles only over selected areas.
The ARA 620 has 156 nozzles across an adjustable working width of up to 6.2 metres and can treat as much as four hectares per hour. Operators configure jobs through a wireless tablet, while RTK positioning and crop-specific algorithms support repeatable field passes. The platform is sold commercially for vegetables, broadacre crops and grassland, with software updates extending the set of recognised plants and supported treatments.
