Ecorobotix Expands U.S. Presence with New Partnership

Ecorobotix, a company known for its AI-driven agricultural technology, has announced a significant partnership with RDO Equipment Co. to bring its ARA ultra-high-precision sprayer to the U.S. market. This collaboration marks a key step in Ecorobotix’s expansion, making its innovative technology more accessible to American farmers.

The ARA Sprayer: Precision and Efficiency

The ARA sprayer is an advanced AI-powered solution designed to apply phytosanitary products with high precision. The technology features a 2.4×2.4-square-inch spray footprint, which enables a significant reduction in chemical use—up to 95%—while also decreasing crop phytotoxicity. This precise application method not only helps protect soil health but also reduces the need for manual weeding, offering a cost-effective alternative that can lower input expenses and potentially increase yields.

The ARA sprayer is versatile and can be used on a variety of crops, including carrots, lettuce, and onions, with its algorithms adaptable for other types of crops as well.

RDO Equipment Co.’s Role

RDO Equipment Co., with its 80 locations across the U.S. and a strong global presence, will play a crucial role in supporting the adoption of the ARA sprayer. The company’s extensive network will facilitate the integration of this precision spraying technology into farming operations nationwide.

Brady Kiesz, RDO Product Specialist Manager in the Pacific Northwest, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: “We first learned about Ecorobotix’s innovative ARA sprayer while working with a vegetable grower on ways to optimize their operation. All of us at RDO are thrilled to offer this intelligent spraying solution, along with our service and support, to help growers effectively integrate the advanced sprayer and save on labor or input costs.”

Strategic Growth in the North American Market

Ecorobotix has been rapidly expanding in the North American market, leveraging strategic partnerships with key dealers like RDO Equipment Co. The availability of the ARA sprayer across the U.S. is expected to grow, providing more farmers with access to cutting-edge technology that enhances agricultural efficiency and sustainability.
