How autonomous tractors are driving the future of farming
With relentless global population growth, increasing food demand, growing calls for sustainable food operations, acute impacts of climate change, and sustained labour scarcity, the agriculture industry has had to learn how to farm smarter, not harder.
Equipped with GNSS-guided navigation, machine control operations, and spatial-awareness sensors, autonomous machines are yielding considerable interest in the field where margins are incredibly tight, labour is hard to find, sustainability is an increasing priority, and safety is paramount.
Determined to change the status quo of farming, AgXeed is using Hexagon’s assured positioning solutions to put autonomy in the driver’s seat and redefine the business of precision agriculture. Demonstrating the ease and power of Hexagon’s reliable location and autonomous technologies, AgXeed’s suite of autonomous AgBots is not only enhancing the safety and efficiency of field operations, they are setting a precedent for sustainable and innovative farming practices.
Most importantly, as AgBots are designed to service farms throughout the entire farming calendar, growers report the AgBots are good value for money. AgXeed finds that it costs farmers 25 to 30 percent less to complete the same workload with the AgBot as a human-powered tractor.
“Hexagon’s hardware and software solutions have given us the versatility and integration options to allow us to create autonomous machines. Their support and passion for innovation have been central to our success.”
What you will learn
Featuring interviews with AgXeed and Hexagon, you will learn how Hexagon’s agriculture solutions deliver unmatched accuracy and uptime in the field by combining a suite of advanced positioning technologies. Together, they provide Ag developers and farmers with the three Rs—robust, reliable, and redundant positioning—crucial components for delivering highly efficient and accurate autonomous agricultural machinery.
