Ara Field Sprayer
AI-powered precision field sprayer
Description
ARA Field Sprayer by Ecorobotix is a tractor-mounted, AI-driven precision sprayer designed for medium to large farms, particularly lettuce, onion and leafy greens. Key functionalities include plant-by-plant spraying with millimeter accuracy, selective application of multiple crop protection products, and automatic recording of field operations. The solution addresses agrochemical overuse, labor constraints and compliance with sustainability requirements.
Technology
The ARA field sprayer uses artificial intelligence and optical sensors to identify crops and weeds with high precision. Mounted on a standard tractor, it applies inputs only where needed through individually controlled nozzles, operating at typical field speeds. Data is logged in the cloud and accessible via web or mobile dashboard.
Target
ARA is used by medium and large-scale row-crop farms and commercial growers of high-value vegetables such as onions, lettuce, carrots, and leafy greens. According to the company’s website, as of September 2025, hundreds of units are in active use across 17 countries.
Business model
ARA is marketed commercially via distribution partners worldwide. The core app is freely available, with advanced crop-specific AI capabilities sold as licensed add-ons.
Impact
According to the company’s website, ARA aims to reduce the use of agrochemicals by applying inputs only where needed, achieving up to 95 percent savings in herbicides and pesticides while minimizing spray drift. The solution could foster more efficient resource use by improving precision in crop protection and supporting higher crop quality in vegetable production systems.
