About 4AG Robotics
Forager HX800 is mounted into existing mushroom-growing shelving and uses cameras to evaluate size and readiness across a bed. Its end effectors pick selected mushrooms, trim the stems and place the product directly into punnets while avoiding specimens that are not yet ready.
The system is designed to move between growing rooms and operate through repeated harvest cycles without rebuilding the farm around a fixed robot cell. 4AG supplies installation, software and ongoing support to commercial growers, with deployments extending beyond pilot farms into multiple major mushroom-producing markets.
