TOO FEW
HARVESTERS.
German agriculture is lacking thousands of harvest workers. The work is complex and strenuous. In addition, the wage costs are constantly increasing. For some special crops, automation was previously out of the question due to the precision required. We are working to change that.
OUR CONCEPT
We combine AI with precise actuators and build the harvest helper of the future.
CARRIER VEHICLE
HARVEST MODULE
We'll take care of that!
PRECISE ACTUATORS.
Through image recognition algorithms and millimeter-precise mechanics we cut precisely.
MODULES UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The aim of our work is to develop the following modules. In the future, they will be used in the field in combination with a proven carrier vehicle.
WHO WE ARE.
We are a young start-up, founded by students from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Hohenheim. Driven by a pioneering spirit and passion for agricultural technology, we are revolutionizing agriculture.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN...
Saffron has been harvested by hand for thousands of years, making it one of the most expensive spices in the world. We use innovative technologies to automate this process. This means that efficient and sustainable cultivation is possible in Germany. We also pursue this approach for other specialty crops, such as green asparagus.
OUR STORY
We have been able to learn a lot on our journey so far, overcome challenges together and celebrate successes. Here is a small excerpt of our most important milestones.
