Kubota partner, Advanced.farm based in Davis, California, offers robotic harvesting, sorting and packing systems optimized for the berry growing industry.
The Challenge
With high labor costs and worker shortages on more American farms and ranches, how can we continue to work the land with fewer resources? Growers still rely on labor to harvest by hand, but the ongoing tight labor market and high labor costs continue to plague the agriculture industry.
Solution
Advanced.farm, one of Kubota’s portfolio startups, offers customers robotic harvesting, sorting and packing technology to offer U.S. growers a suite of efficient labor management tools.
Benefits
Harvesting robotics can measure quality, count and provide data analytics so growers can better manage their yield. Growers report savings not only on labor, but also increases in quality, speed and yield. For strawberry harvesters, automated fruit sorting and packing provides end-to-end harvest and post-harvest solutions. In fact, Advanced.farm currently has several fleets of robotic strawberry harvest machines deployed with leading growers throughout California.
