Danish field robotics company Agrointelli has partnered with newly formed Evofarming KFT, a company founded to introduce agriculture technology to markets in Hungary, Romania and Serbia.
According to the collaboration, the main focus in these countries will be to introduce Agrointelli’s autonomous weeding and sowing platform, Robotti, to agricultural and horticultural farmers as well as agricultural universities. Evofarming KFT added it will provide local service and support.
Formed on 01 January 2022, Evofarming KFT aims to face the lack of workforce with Robotti as its first product.
Founder of Evofarming KFT, Johann Ocken, said: “We already provide many different types of agricultural machinery for the Hungarian market, and we will continue to devote our attention to the traditional agricultural machinery market.
“Robotics and the new technology require personnel exclusively focusing on this area, which is why we decided to create evofarming. We are going to use our experience from the traditional area of agriculture to offer the robot to our existing customers: different sized farmers, vegetable growers and agricultural universities.
“Thanks to its modularity, Robotti is definitely the right product for this target group and so it was important for us to include it in our portfolio.
“The requirements for the production of agricultural products will enormously change in the next decade. Climate changes, environmental protection requirements, consumer needs towards organic production, avoidance of monotonous work, human resources shortage, etc.
“A few years ago, the automotive industry began to develop a form of production that made it possible to have all work steps carried out by robots. Even if it still appears to be a utopia in 2022, this path of “hands free farming” in agriculture has already started and will continue to develop very quickly in the next few years.”
