Yverdon-Les-Bains, Switzerland -- Ecorobotix, a Swiss company specialising in AI-driven agricultural technology, is expanding into Australia through a strategic dealer partnership with RDO Equipment Australia.

The ARA sprayer is an advanced AI-powered solution that optimises the application of plant protection products with an ultra-precise 6x6 cm (2.4x2.4 inch) spray footprint. This breakthrough in precision reduces inputs use by up to 95 percent, minimising crop phytotoxicity and preserving soil health. Additionally, ARA helps reduce reliance on manual weeding crews, offering significant economic benefits. Its AI-driven software already supports over 20 different vegetable crops, including carrots, lettuce, onions and more (see list of crops).

“We are excited to introduce this innovative Swiss-made sprayer to our Australian growers,” said Steve Hegarty, Integrated Solutions Manager at RDO Equipment. “The local agricultural sector is continuously seeking ways to improve sustainability and efficiency, and we are confident that the ARA sprayer provides a reliable way to attain these improvements.”

RDO Equipment and its international parent RDO Equipment Co. is an established global leader in agricultural equipment and precision technology, with extensive experience in supporting growers with intelligent, high-performance solutions. This partnership will provide Australian farmers access to Ecorobotix’s artificial intelligence and precision spraying equipment, backed by RDO’s strong service and support network.
