💡 Feature Update! In this video, you can see our Vulcan #AI weeder cultivating a cilantro field, in a 3-line 40" configuration, at Ratto Bros., Inc, in Modesto, CA. The tractor is running at 3 mph while the implement tracks the plant line and adjusts laterally with a high degree of precision. Thanks to a simple over-the-air update pushed to the system, we're able to follow the plant lines and weed within 1” precision on each side of the plant line with standard cultivation tooling attached to our lateral shifting frame. Lighting conditions, wavy plant lines, and plant size do not impact the machine performance. This new feature will increase customers' usage of their Vulcan in their 3-line 40” bunched programs (cilantro, parsley, baby kale, and bok choy) which ultimately maximizes their ROI. This feature will see applicability in other high-density plantings such as onions and carrots. When intra-row weeding isn’t possible due to tighter spacing, and yet cultivation is part of the grower’s program, Vulcan precision weeder is the number one automated weeding solution. 🎥 Frank Calderon #agtech #machinelearning #farming #precisionweeding #cvml #agriculture

About us
At FarmWise we believe that farming can be done at the plant level at scale leveraging the diversity of biological systems. Our team wants to enable farmers and ag equipment makers to reinvent farming operations with machines that can perceive, understand and act at the plant level in real-time. For years, FarmWise operated a commercial fleet of automated weeder prototypes across the greater Salinas Valley in California. After over 20,000 acres of commercial weeding and associated learnings, FarmWise released its Vulcan precision implement in 2023. Vulcan is a unique intra-row weeder and precision cultivator designed for durability and efficient weeding. Vulcan is powered by FarmWise's Intelligent Plant System (IPS), the most advanced computer vision architecture made for agricultural applications.

We were so thrilled to participate in the OPS Field Tour at Braga Fresh Family Farms and Earthbound Farm showcasing our Vulcan precision weeder to retailers and buyers on the first day of the 2024 Organic Produce Summit. Raising awareness about organic food production is crucial to encourage all industry stakeholders to continue supporting growers' commitment to producing healthy, sustainable food. https://lnkd.in/gsYaG4vZ #organicproducesummit #farming #organicfarming #agriculture #agtech #innovation #technology #precisionweeding #vulcanweeder

🌱 Cauliflower is one of the top brassicas grown in California. Wide interplant spacing makes it a perfect candidate for ground-engaging precision weeding. In the first section of this video, our Vulcan precision weeder is running at 1.4 mph. 🎥 Rogelio Medrano & Miguel Arredondo #agtech #computervision #cauliflower #precisionweeding #AI #CVML

Throwback Friday! We had an incredible time at our annual company BBQ in Salinas a few weeks ago! We got together with family and friends to celebrate all the hard work the team has put in over the past year and ahead of a busy summer. Safe to say, the kids enjoyed the slide all day. Thank you to our own Shawna Berriatua for organizing such a great event. #teamwork #bbq #farming #agtech #teambuilding #precisionfarming #events #agriculture #cvml #ai

🛠 We have a new plasma cutting table in our fabrication shop! Thanks to the latest and greatest software and hardware by STV CNC - Plasma Cutting Tables, we can now cut thicker and larger parts at a much higher speed, allowing us to drastically speed up the pace at which we cut weeding blades and cultivation knives for new deliveries of our Vulcan precision weeder. Having tools like this in-house is just one way we are able to support our customers with speed and efficiency 💪 🎥 Video by Jesus Alcantar & Shoutout to our incredible fab team jonathan perez, Ronald De La Cruz and Oscar Pena. #fabshop #farming #welding #agtech

Thanks, The Robot Report and Mike Santora for this article! “Farmers know the optimal depth for weeder blades to effectively remove weeds while avoiding root damage, and we wanted to empower farmers by allowing them to adjust blade depth according to their preference for deeper, more effective weeding or shallower weeding to protect crop roots." - David Olivero, a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the FarmWise team, discusses the philosophy behind the individual blade depth control system on our Vulcan precision weeder. #AgTech #PrecisionFarming #CVML #Agriculture #Innovation https://lnkd.in/g_SXdFnu

💡 Feature Update! Our Vulcan Precision Weeder supports many additional tools for soil engagement including squirrel cages 🐿 🌱 Squirrel cages are a great addition to our precision weeding toolkit, specifically in hard soils. By cracking these hard soils into smaller pieces at the surface, the cages break up tough clods of dirt and even out the bed top. Squirrel cages can be used on the front, like in this video, or the rear, depending on preferences and setup. You can see here a video of a customer-operated Vulcan precision weeder running squirrel cages on the toolbar at the front in decomposed granite soil conditions. 📽 video credits to Diego Alcantar. #precisionfarming #farming #agtech #agriculture
