European made autonomous sprayer enters Canadian orchards.

Geldermalsen (NL) / Oirlo (NL) 18th February 2022

Hol Spraying Systems announces Provide Agro as dealer for their autonomous orchard sprayers.

Back in 2021 AgXeed and Hol Spraying Systems teamed up to create an intelligent sprayer
that perfectly fits to AgXeed’s AgBot 2.055W3. The integrated solution out of an AgBot and the
HSS ISA sprayer is exclusively distributed by HSS and their distribution partners. The market
rollout starts in Europe in May this year. By the end of the year HSS will bring 3 robots to
Canada to prepare the market for further sales in 2023.

The robots that will arrive in winter 2022 are already purchased by 3 progressive fruit growers.
Provide Agro strongly believes in this kind of technology and will be the local and first point of
contact to serve these customers. The winter period will be used for training on the operation
of the system, for service training and to digitize, by the help of GNSS mapping, the different
orchards where the AgBot will operate.

The need for intelligent systems in the ag and food producing market is growing rapidly.
Growers are facing new challenges; the demand for the complete documentation of growing
processes, the aim to reduce soil compaction, the lack of labor, the reduction of chemicals and
by this the reduction of exposure of chemicals to the environment and in the end the desire for
an improved work life balance. The AgXeed and HSS autonomous system will help to cope
with these challenges. Consisting out of a web portal to plan and log all your orchard
processes, a well-balanced 55kW fully autonomous three wheel robot that hooks up standard
implements and an intelligent orchard sprayer, that reduces drift by 99% compared to standard
orchard sprayers, this combination will bring fruit growing to a new dimension.
