Imagine a tractor that can 'see' exactly where a weed is and spray only that spot, rather than soaking the whole field. It uses a digital map and smart sensors to act like a precision surgeon for crops. This keeps harmful chemicals out of the soil and away from the farmer.
Conventional spraying wastes chemicals, pollutes soil and water, and exposes farmers to hazardous toxins. There is a lack of integrated hardware and software to apply pesticides precisely where needed.
A digital platform featuring a Digital Twin and AI for pest detection, alongside autonomous retrofit tractors equipped with a Direct Injection System.
If you are a machinery manufacturer dealing with outdated spraying equipment — this project developed retrofit kits for tractors that use Direct Injection Systems to cut chemical waste. This allows your customers to meet Green Deal goals while improving efficiency.
If you are a software provider dealing with a lack of real-time field data — this project developed a Digital Twin and AI for pesticide recommendation. This enables your users to simulate spraying needs before the tractor even leaves the barn.
If you are a crop producer dealing with high chemical costs and regulatory pressure — this project developed autonomous robotic spraying that avoids exposing workers to hazardous chemicals. This reduces input costs and improves safety compliance.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the hardware or software is not provided.
Yes, the project uses retrofit tractors and autonomous robotic platforms designed for real-world field demonstrators to ensure industrial applicability.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project involves a consortium of 10 partners including industry and SMEs.
Yes, it is specifically designed to help achieve EU Green Deal goals for reducing pesticide and fertilizer use.
The project focuses on retrofit tractors, meaning the technology can be added to existing machinery rather than requiring a full fleet replacement.
The consortium is well-diversified for commercialization, consisting of 10 partners across 6 countries. With a 20% industry ratio including 2 SMEs, the project balances academic research from universities with practical industrial application, ensuring the technology is grounded in market needs.
