The agreement covers sales and support in Germany and the Netherlands, where the AX-1 is already commercially available; France and the UK are described as being considered.
A newly published systematic review of 58 peer-reviewed studies argues that tree-based models on structured sensor data define precision-agriculture decision support.
The company says SAMI has moved beyond prototype onto commercial produce. Sami Robotics has not published a throughput figure a grower could use to model payback against a harvest crew, and its own caveat says performance depends on crop density, maturity distribution and field conditions.
Weenat reports over 30,000 agro-weather sensors on unlicensed LPWAN, split 15,000 on the Sigfox 0G Network and 15,000 on LoRaWAN. The sources say the sensors switch between networks according to the best availability; the failover timing, selection logic and dual-subscription economics stay unspecif
The 2026 Crop Robotics Landscape lists more than 400 companies, up on the 2024 edition, and a fifth of the 2024 names exited the 2026 edition.
The cooperative now holds equity in the developer whose weeding robots its Cap 2030 plan points toward, which is the reason to want an independent cost test, not the reason to skip one.
GUSS plans to add Ouster's native-colour Rev8 OS0 lidar to its next-generation orchard and vineyard sprayers because satellite positioning is not enough beneath a dense canopy.
News, analysis and research on the technology and infrastructure behind modern agriculture.
A vendor claim of commercial deployment, a design that grabs rather than cuts, and four numbers a grower would need to price the machine against a herbicide programme — none of which appear in the public record.
AgXeed reports that the AgBot T2 7 SERIES ran a vegetable rotation with a Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder at Axel Månsson A/S, at 150 hours a week fully autonomous. A real operator account, and an interested-party one: no cost, labour-hour, downtime or service figure has been published.
The NVD-tracked flaws in IXON VPN Client before 1.4.4 can take a low-privileged user to root or SYSTEM. Field Circuit reads them as a warning that the remote-access PC, not the tunnel, is the real OT boundary.
CISA, the NSA and the FBI have treated a pattern of AI inference traffic as a national-security problem, even though at the API/query layer it is indistinguishable from ordinary use. The consequence is not a patch. It is monitoring, rate-limiting and contract design.
A recent CISA advisory about vulnerabilities in the Rockwell Automation 1756-ENBT communication module, some dating back to 2009, underscores the profound challenge of managing legacy risks in industrial control systems and demands a shift in operational security strategy.
Rockwell SD1794 lists four denial-of-service vulnerabilities in RSLinx Classic V4.50 and earlier, fixed in V4.60. The crash is a known event; the blast radius at any site is a question only that site's own inventory can answer.
South African agriculture grows at about 3 percent a year against an economy growing under one, yet the digital layer underneath it, the connectivity, energy, water data and export-traceability systems, is only beginning to be built and, in places, only beginning to be measured.
Machine vision in a fresh-produce packhouse is a whole integrated line, not a camera, and it pays for itself through throughput and claims avoidance, not through labour savings alone. This is what a South African packhouse manager should weigh before buying.
Farm SCADA is not one magic box. It is a chain of local controllers, valve actuators, telemetry and phone alerts, and it earns its keep only where control points, night labour and the cost of a missed event justify it.
AEF's High-Speed ISOBUS programme moves farm machinery from a 250 kb/s CAN bus toward switched gigabit Ethernet, and the topology change also changes the security surface.
CISA has published advisory ICSA-26-057-01 covering pre-authentication remote code execution, information leak and denial of service in Johnson Controls Frick Quantum HD refrigeration controls. The advisory is a documented reason to check exposure, not proof that attacks are occurring.
Bonsai Robotics says it is working to break the single-task/cost trade-off in agricultural robotics with a vision-only autonomy stack. Its deployment and efficiency numbers remain company claims, and the across-crops, metric-scale and dust questions are the three tests a buyer should put to it.
