ecoRobotix is a B Corp certified precision agriculture technology company that develops AI-powered ultra-high precision field sprayers and plant-by-plant crop care solutions, enabling farmers to drastically reduce plant protection product usage by up to 95% while maintaining crop and soil health. The company's flagship product, the ARA Ultra-High Precision Sprayer, combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with high-resolution optics and unmatched spraying accuracy to target only weeds with subcentimeter precision. At the core of the ARA sprayer is ecoRobotix's Plant-by-Plant AI system, an intelligent algorithm that distinguishes crops from weeds in milliseconds using high-speed HR cameras and advanced processors, scanning, analyzing, and spraying in just 250 milliseconds even while moving at full speed. The AI continuously improves, adapting to different weed types, field conditions, and crop varieties. The ARA sprayer is optimized for vegetable and specialty crop operations including lettuce, spinach, onions, carrots, sugar beets, broccoli, and cotton, and is compatible with existing farm equipment for seamless integration. The company also offers the ALBA UHP sprayer for turf applications. ecoRobotix's technology delivers ultra-precise spraying that saves up to 95% on herbicide usage, AI-powered weed identification with subcentimeter accuracy, significant labor reduction by replacing manual weeding crews, and on-farm demonstrations through a national dealer network. The company has sold over 1,000 ARA sprayers worldwide and invested $50 million to expand U.S. operations, bringing Swiss-engineered precision spraying technology to American farmers.
