It’s often said that agriculture’s “robotic revolution” stems from declining farm labor. But, one of the lesser talked about benefits to come from automation is farmworker safety, says Bluewhite Robotics founder and CEO, Ben Alfi.
Alfi.. “ I believe we are at that tipping point right now here in agriculture. Starts with a huge need on making a safe environment for people to work in the farm that they don't need to be near chemicals and they can operate at scale without being worried about their personal safety. We see the technology here available and it's happening.”
Bluewhite Robotics recently partnered with New Holland to deploy its AI-driven capabilities on existing fleets.
Alfi… “We are not trying to be a tractor company. We're bringing a very, a knowledgeable tractor company, with us being knowledgeable about autonomy. And now we can create an amazing product together, focused mainly on the grower, making sure that they're happy and they are able to, to do it. So we're very excited about this relationship. We'll learn and we use it as the ability to blend in and create simple solutions that you don't need to pick and choose from all kinds of entities. You have one-stop shop, the dealer next to you, the person that you've been with for quite a while.”
