Ecorobotix is a Swiss company that has developed a high-precision spraying solution for agriculture. Its main product, the ARA sprayer, uses a combination of high-resolution cameras and artificial intelligence to identify individual plants in real-time. This technology allows for the targeted application of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers directly onto the desired plants, with a precision of 6x6 cm. The system is designed to be mounted on a tractor and can cover large areas at a speed of up to 7 km/h. The primary benefit of this plant-by-plant approach is a significant reduction in the use of agricultural chemicals, by up to 95%. This not only leads to cost savings for farmers but also contributes to more sustainable farming practices by minimizing soil and water pollution. Ecorobotix's business model is based on the sale of its ARA sprayers to farmers and agricultural contractors. The company operates in the growing market of precision agriculture, targeting clients who are looking to improve the efficiency and sustainability of their operations. The technology is suitable for a variety of crops, including row crops, vegetables, and grasslands.
