Ecorobotix offers ARA
ARA is an AI-powered ultra-high precision field sprayer that reduces chemical usage by up to 95% through plant-by-plant targeting.
ARA is Ecorobotix's flagship ultra-high precision field sprayer designed for vegetable and specialty crop operations. Using a set of cameras and the company's Plant-by-Plant AI Software, ARA captures detailed images of the field in real time, deciphering soil, crops, and weeds to enable targeted spraying. The system can reduce plant protection product usage by 50% to over 95%, depending on the target, crop stage, and weed infestation.
ARA operates at an ideal speed of 7.2 km/h (4.5 mph) and features a 6-meter foldable frame with a front tank. It is compatible with existing farm equipment and requires tractors capable of carrying approximately 1,100 kg at the rear connector. The sprayer is optimized for crops including lettuce, spinach, onions, carrots, and sugar beets, and is currently used by farmers in over 20 countries.
