Croplands partners with Kilter in Australia and New Zealand: AX-1 an autonomous, ultra high precision robot for use in vegetables.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Croplands, Nufarm\u2019s emerging solutions spray equipment platform, and Kilter have partnered on a distribution agreement bringing Kilter\u2019s autonomous ultra high precision robot, AX-1, to vegetable farmers in Australia and New Zealand, with testing and evaluation being undertaken across key Australian vegetable growing regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kilter\u2019s AX-1 is among the next generation of ultra-high precision machinery, which includes its patented Single Drop Technology (SDT) and autonomous crop-protection for the vegetable market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kilter\u2019s SDT is an advanced AI solution on an autonomous robot platform, the robot applies herbicide to weeds only, depositing droplets every six millimetres into the target area. The AX-1 captures and analyses imagery of the crop, then applies droplets directly on the weeds, saving farmers chemical inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a light-weight autonomous solution, the AX-1 allows early application of critical sprays on soft soils while also releasing labour, so farmers can focus on high value tasks within the farming operation. The AX-1 works well in fleets, can easily move between locations and the classifier can switch between varying crop types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anders Brevik, CEO, Kilter,\u00a0<\/strong>said tests in Europe showed a significant increase in crop yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis yield increase comes as the AX-1 controls hard-to-treat weeds without causing phytotoxic effects on the crop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean Mulvaney, General Manager, Croplands,<\/strong> said he had high ambitions for the partnership, along with upcoming research for the new machines on Australian soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKilter\u2019s technology is unique and unrivalled in the marketplace,\u201d Mulvaney said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first AX-1 machines have arrived in Australia and we are looking forward to adding another sustainable solution to the Australian and New Zealand Croplands fleet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the horticulture industry, this new addition complements Croplands\u2019 existing autonomous solution platform, the Robotics Plus Prospr for the viticulture and tree crop market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The AX-1 is currently operating in Europe and holds AI classifieds\/classifiers on 21 different vegetables, including root vegetables and leafy greens. Kilter and Croplands were recently awarded a Hort Innovations Grant to conduct testing and imagery collection in Australian conditions, including weeds, soils and crop types in Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partner growers are required now for collaboration so if you are interested in this groundbreaking technology, please register your interest with your local Croplands Territory Manager today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
