Frequently Asked Questions

Plants are first detected by the camera, then treated with crop protection chemicals, and subsequently driven over by the tractor's tires. A plant that has been run over is much harder, if not impossible, to detect. Since the tractor's track occupies a significant portion of the working width, we avoid this compromise by using a front-mounted system.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can reliably identify objects even under challenging conditions, such as poor lighting or shadows. This eliminates the need for an enclosure, enables a compact machine design, and allows visibility of the work process during operation.

No. The spray nozzles produce a sharp and precise jet that operates close to the target plant.

A tractor with at least 50 HP, a front hitch, and a front PTO is sufficient. No additional interfaces are required. Even older tractor models can be used without issue.

Depending on the crop and field conditions, the typical operating speed in practice ranges between 6 and 12 km/h.

No. The outer gauge wheels track the section of the field that has already been covered.

New detection algorithms are currently under development.

We place great emphasis on the continuous development of our software. Our goal is to create software that not only keeps up with the times but stays ahead of it. Updates are available to all users and can be easily downloaded via the machine's user interface when connected to the internet. This ensures that every machine always operates at the highest level.

Yes. Remote access can be performed via a LAN interface.

Yes, every three years. New machines are delivered with an inspection badge.

Of course, it is possible to perform maintenance and repairs on our machines yourself. They are designed with ease of maintenance in mind, allowing farmers with basic technical knowledge to maintain them. Additionally, our components are designed for easy and low-effort replacement, emphasizing user-friendliness as a central aspect of our service philosophy.

The timing of use depends heavily on the crop. Generally, the plant's leaf mass must be large enough to absorb sufficient crop protection chemicals. Plants that stand out from the surrounding vegetation are also easier to detect. This is often facilitated in the autumn due to slower growth. Furthermore, crop protection chemicals are stored in the roots during this time, enhancing the long-term effectiveness of the treatment.

Yes. In Bavaria (BaySL Digital) and Hesse (Digitalization in Agriculture), the RUMEX RXF is currently listed as eligible for subsidies up to 40% (capped).

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an advanced technology that enables machines to learn and solve problems similarly to the human brain. It significantly impacts daily life by identifying patterns in large datasets, learning from them, and continuously improving. For example, AI can detect weeds faster and more accurately than humans.

The main difference between artificial intelligence (AI) and conventional image processing lies in AI's ability to adapt and learn. While conventional systems struggle with changing conditions like lighting and seasons, AI systems learn from their experiences and improve continuously. AI can accurately identify weeds despite variations in size or vegetation changes. Conventional systems rely on fixed rules and lack flexibility, whereas AI develops a deep understanding of tasks and dynamically adapts to new situations, making it far more effective under complex and variable conditions.

The user interface is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. A pre-installed tablet is included, allowing you to control the system. Additionally, you can operate it via your smartphone for added flexibility.

The sprayer should be cleaned thoroughly after each day of use to avoid pesticide residues and clogging. The machine has an automatic cleaning program that uses electric actuators to flush the piping system, effectively removing herbicide residues.
