Ecorobotix's ARA, the ultra-high precision (UHP) smart sprayer and data system, has now become even more precise and more intelligent enabling even better plant-by-plant recognition and ultra-high precision crop treatment. Multiple new product improvements include: automatic height adjustment of the spray bar; ability to adjust the machine working width between 8cm and 600cm; and automatic shutdown of the spraying at the end of each row is now standard. Furthermore, the user interface on the tablet is now available in English, German and French.
We have improved our deep learning models to further enhance our weed detection.
Jean-Michel Mourier, Product Development Manager
ARA's plant-by-plant identification, which runs in real time using six cameras and on-board computers, has increased in performance and now runs improved algorithms for dock, thistle, iceberg lettuce, chicory, turf and sugar beet. The weed detection rate has also increased even further in the new release.
As required by the farmer, ARA can now also be set to spray all areas except the crop for root herbicide applications.
