About
About Vitirover
A four-wheel-drive chassis, pendular rear axle and low operating speed let the Vitirover robot work around vines, posts, trees and uneven terrain. Working zones are defined by geofencing in the Viticloud management application, removing the need for a perimeter wire. The onboard solar panel supports autonomous charging, while an auxiliary station or swappable battery can extend daily operation.
Vitirover sells and leases robots and also delivers vegetation management as a service, combining robot fleets with local human teams for installation, supervision, finishing work and maintenance. The company reports deployments in vineyards and industrial sites since 2015 and is expanding from its original wine-growing application into orchards, solar farms, railways, road verges and other large properties. This makes it both a finished agricultural-robot manufacturer and an operator of the service layer around those machines.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-08 - Regulatory - Vitirover receives six-month extension of judicial safeguard observation
The safeguard proceeding originally opened on 18 November 2025 at Vitirover's request. The court found sufficient financing capacity for activity to continue during the renewed observation period. An interim hearing set for 21 September 2026 will review signed quotations, cash position and a draft repayment plan.
