FarmWise launches new weeding machine at the World Ag Expo

February 16, 2023 by Mark Allinson

FarmWise, a farm automation company operating in the commercial weeding business for more than three years, has launched its next-generation weeding implement, Vulcan, at the World Ag Expo.

Now available for pre-order, Vulcan was named to the World Ag Expo’s 2023 Top-10 New Products list.

Vulcan packs cutting-edge computer vision into a lightweight, open cultivator frame. Thanks to deep learning models refined by millions of images in FarmWise’s catalog, Vulcan removes weeds inter-row and intra-row with sub-inch precision, eliminating the need for hand weeding crews for over 20 vegetable crops, including lettuce and broccoli.

Carbon Robotics adds LaserThinning capability to its LaserWeeder

February 13, 2023 by David Edwards

Carbon Robotics, an AI and robotics company specializing in agriculture, has introduced what it says is “the industry’s first LaserThinning capability”, continuing the “rapid innovation” of its LaserWeeder system.

LaserThinning targets areas where vegetable crops are purposefully overseeded and then thinned for optimal crop spacing, growth and yield. This is particularly valuable for farmers growing any direct seeded leafy green and cole crops – such as lettuce and broccoli.

By using lasers for thinning, the new solution does not require the use of any chemicals or manual hand labor, is unaffected by wind or moisture, and can be performed during the day or night. [Read more…] about Carbon Robotics adds LaserThinning capability to its LaserWeeder
