Smart autonomous solutions for farming

In addition to climate change and associated extreme weather conditions, agriculture also faces additional challenges. One of them being decarbonisation to reduce the carbon footprint. The other one is demographic change with the related shortage of skilled workers. This is where autonomous solutions come in.

The technology company AgXeed believes in a way of farming, where agricultural entrepreneurs can make the most of their land, crops and the environment. All-in autonomy solutions ensure that farmers get the time to do what they do best; farming and handling resources in a careful and sustainable way.

The mission is clearly defined: The status quo of farming should experience a revolution to ensure that sustainable agriculture can work out for everyone.

To make this happen, AgXeed provides a smart and ready to use system with scalable and customisable hardware, virtual planning tools and valuable data models.

AgXeed's "AgBot" robot series for the autonomous cultivation of arable land can operate nonstop and unsupervised for up to 23 hours.

Guided by smart algorithms, the autonomous robot saves time and ensures resources such as energy, fertilizer, water and seeds are used efficiently.

The extreme and unpredictable weather conditions we've seen over the past years are a huge challenge for agricultural work. During the peak season, farmers need to make many critical decisions within the short term.
The AgXeed portal, as part of the all-in autonomy package, allows farmers to plan all necessary operations in advance of the season. Each operation can be configured with different scenarios, if necessary. The gathered data from the AgBot enables performance optimisations for upcoming tasks.

Increasing the efficiency of agricultural work is one of the key factors for sustainable and resilient agriculture.

Precision farming can be hugely beneficial if the electrification of agricultural work becomes more prevalent.

These requirements led to the common development between HARTING and partners from the agricultural environment on an equal footing. The result is the HARTING AEF high voltage interface.

A high voltage connector which enables the electrification of tractors and machinery for agriculture.

This leads to faster configurations of agricultural machinery. The electric drive train in combination with the highly precise positioning system increase the precision of the AgBot’s work and promotes sustainability.
