About
About Bluewhite
Bluewhite equips existing farm tractors for autonomous operation in orchards and vineyards. Its Pathfinder retrofit kit adds perception, positioning, compute and drive-control hardware, while the GEN 4 autonomy system maps rows and headlands, detects obstacles and executes field routes without an onboard driver.
Compass provides remote scheduling, monitoring and reporting across a fleet of Bluewhite-enabled machines. Growers use the combined system for spraying, chemical spreading, mowing and other implement-based work, retaining compatible tractors already in service. Field operations continue locally when connectivity is interrupted, while the cloud platform records machine status, coverage and application data for management and compliance workflows.
