Ekobot is the result of the founder Ulf Nordbeck’s thoughts and desire to combine robotics and healthy sustainable food production. Ekobot’s goal is to be able to offer practical and sustainable solutions to agricultural issues while reducing workload with autonomous tools for vegetable farmers.
Ekobot robotsystem WEAI combines front-end technology in the areas of AI, robotics, electromobility with traditional knowledge of classical agricultural production. The result is an autonomous system that can replace existing methods and at the same time increase productivity and profitability in a sustainable way.
As we see it – the evolution of agricultulture
We know that Weeding is one of the most time consuming and energy consuming tasks in agriculture today. We also know that although herbicides can be used effectively to control weeds, it is estimated that only a small proportion of herbicides reach their target and the rest of them get lost in the surrounding environment. This causes not only economic losses but also chemical hazards and pollution risks.
At Ekobot, we open up new opportunities to control weeds and reduce herbicide use. With Ekobot’s robotic system for weeding, you as a customer can, compared with traditional methods, reduce your costs and reduce your business’ environmental impact from weeding operations.
Ekobot makes it possible for you as a customer to reduce the very variable cost of manual work and reduce the use of herbicides. Manual labor for weed control is often a vegetable grower’s largest cost and often amounts to about 30% of the total expenditure in the cultivation calculation. Reducing the cost of manual labor and herbicides has a major economic impact.
Ekobot’s robotic system leaves soil microbiology undisturbed, unlike. Reduced use of herbicides and reduced soil disturbance pave the way for a regenerative approach, leading to healthy crops and higher yields.
Traditional chemicals used by farmers, such as herbicides, degrade soil health and are linked to human and other mammalian health problems. An autonomous mechanical weed management solution reduces or eliminates your herbicide needs.
One of the biggest challenges for sustainable agricultural production is cost-effective weed control. A solution for weed management that does not require herbicides or an increase in manual labor paves the way towards sustainable agriculture with products of high economic value.
If you are interested in learning more about our robot system Ekobot, book an online demo.
In 2022, our robot systems will be in continuous operation in Sweden and the Netherlands. You are warmly welcome to meet our robots and robot operators in the field. Register your interest below and we will book you in.
We at Ekobot help farmers and growers reduce costs of weeding crops while also doing it in a CO2 neutral and ecological way.
