Artificial intelligence (AI) enables machines to learn from experience, adapt to new incoming information, and perform tasks that require human-like cognitive abilities.

If a plant is identified by the image recognition system during operation, the required spray nozzles open upon reaching the spray boom to fully coat the dock plant with crop protection chemicals. This process works during cornering as well as with varying driving speeds. Thanks to individual nozzle control, the minimum spray width is 70 mm, allowing even the smallest leaves to be precisely covered.
The user interface allows detailed display of driving and spraying data. Additionally, it enables the adjustment of spraying parameters and access to maintenance functions. The operation of the crop protection sprayer is kept very simple. Once the PTO shaft is engaged and the machine is on the ground, the image recognition system starts automatically. Whether the image recognition system is active is indicated by a signal light, which is easily visible from the tractor cabin.
To process our complex neural networks in real time, we have developed by far the most powerful hardware for our sprayer. With 100 TFLOPS (trillion operations per second), our camera achieves a performance at an entirely new level and is also extremely robust and resistant to external interference.
An integrated power unit reduces the requirements for the towing vehicle to a front hitch and a front PTO shaft. Tractors from the lower power segment can be used to operate the crop protection sprayer.
To achieve this precise spraying result, the spray booms are mounted in a swinging configuration and equipped with lateral gauge wheels. These ensure that the distance between the nozzles and the target object remains constant, especially on uneven terrain. Additionally, the track of the outer gauge wheels identifies the treated area.
The hydraulic folding of the spray booms transforms the crop protection sprayer into a compact unit measuring 1.70 x 2.50 m (L x W). With adjusted gauge wheels and an unfolded support wheel, the folded sprayer can be easily maneuvered manually.
Order by December 31, 2025, and save money! With the Bavarian Special Program for Digital Agriculture (BaySL Digital), the State of Bavaria supports investments in the digital sector, including those that significantly reduce the use of crop protection products. From now on, the state covers €10,000 of the purchase price for a RUMEX crop protection sprayer. For more information, visit: BaySL Digital.
In Hesse, the machine is supported by the Digitalization in Agriculture program, which provides funding covering 40% of the net investment amount. More information: LLH Hesse.
