Lower chemical input costs, lower labor costs, lower phytotoxicity, higher yields. Here are some of the benefits that ARA and its onboard Plant-by-Plant AI™ (Artificial Intelligence) can provide.
The Solution for Efficient Weed Control
ARA is an ultra-high precision sprayer designed for ultra-targeted application of plant protection products and fertilizers. Its system ensures minimal product use, reducing inputs by up to 95%, while effectively controlling weeds and protecting crops. ARA supports sustainable farming practices, helping growers meet regulatory standards. It improves growers' overall profitability by reduced input use and higher yields.

Smarter Spraying, Lower Costs
By drastically reducing the use of plant protection products and decreasing labor costs, Ecorobotix helps farmers save money while increasing efficiency. The result? A faster return on investment and long-term profitability with a more sustainable approach to crop protection.
A processing system that enables real-time execution with high-quality imaging, able to detect and treat sub-centimeter weeds and plants.
STEP 1: SENSE
High-Speed, High-Resolution Cameras
By employing supercomputers, RGB and 3D cameras, we are able to capture and detect a diverse array of crops and weeds in real-time for instant data analysis.
STEP 2: DECIDE
Sub-Centimeter Plant Detection
Over 50 species of different weeds recognized, with capacity to only treat specific weeds such as monocotyledons, dicotyledons, volunteer potatoes, and dock.
STEP 3: ACT
Ultra-High Precision Spraying
Target weeds on a 6 x 6 cm spray pattern, a target size 70 times smaller than other smart sprayers - with millisecond timing and accuracy.
Precision Powered by AI
Our Plant-by-Plant™ AI-Software is the brain that makes the whole system work, going from scanning plants to precise spraying in a blink of an eye!
During a spell of rain at the wrong time, a broccoli grower was unable to do his usual weeding strategy on the crucial early stages. The broccoli crop grew heavily infested with redroot pigweed. He was ready to abandon his field as as it was too late for mechanical weeding and there are no selective inputs available in Broccoli for treatments in later stages.
Ecorobotix came and did a treatment using ARA with a non-selective contact herbicide using its safety zone feature. Here's the result, on the left the field without our treatment, on the right the treatment done by ARA.
Visible Results
Phytotoxicity and weed pressure both impact yield quantity. In the example below ARA proves it doesn't just do the job, it actually gets better results than standard broadcast spraying:
Non-Treated (Class mm)
No herbicides are applied—used as a control in tests. Weak yield results due to uncontrolled weed pressure.
Broadcast Spraying (Class mm)
Herbicides are sprayed evenly across an entire field, covering both weeds & crops. Weed pressure is controlled, but yield suffered from phytotoxicity.
ARA, Selective (Class mm)
AI targets specific weeds, spraying only them with selective herbicides. Result shows a higher yield than broadcast spraying.
ARA, Non-Selective (Class mm)
AI sprays only weeds with non-selective herbicides, avoiding crops. Result shows a higher yield than broadcast spraying.
We have treated more than 1,750 hectares of onions with ARA, which has allowed us to achieve savings of up to 96% on raw chemical inputs. Of course, this depends on weed pressure and crop growth stage, but we are very satisfied with the results.
