"With the help of new technologies, we can automate operations, improve crop monitoring and care, and respond to incidents more precisely"
At TECNALIA ,we develop autonomous robotics solutions for the digital transformation of the agri-food sector
The agri-food sector is driving the digital transformation to meet the challenges of the future. It is doing so by integrating systems that increase productivity, reduce costs and help build a more connected and efficient supply chain. With the help of new technologies, it is possible to:
- Automate operations.
- Improve crop monitoring and care.
- Respond to incidents more precisely.
Therefore, at TECNALIA we have developed an innovative tool that remotely controls swarms of autonomous robots to support farmers in their tasks. This solution enables collaborative activities to be planned in real time to be carried out by several robots, even from heterogeneous manufacturers or of a diverse nature.
Automation makes agriculture more efficient
Most farms in Spain are small in size. Such farms face many challenges to be competitive, especially in terms of production costs. Technology can be a great ally for these small businesses, helping them to reduce costs, improve efficiency and increase profitability. Robots and autonomous systems are designed to automate repetitive tasks, thus performing costly tasks that were previously impractical due to technological, logistical and economic constraints.
More sustainable agriculture
This solution also helps to meet climate targets by adjusting the use of fertilisers, water or pesticides according to the specific needs of each crop area. Data-driven decision making enables better land use and a reduced environmental impact.
