See How Bluewhite's World Ag Expo Top 10 New Product Winner "Pathfinder" Turns Your Tractor Into a Robot

Pathfinder Technology

Pathfinder was developed by Bluewhite, to be a cost effective, flexible, and safe solution for permanent crop growers. The platform can transform any brand of existing orchard or vineyard tractor into a fully autonomous fleet, capable of executing multiple tasks, such as spraying, applying herbicide, discing, mowing, or harvesting with high precision and operating efficiency. By retrofitting a growers existing fleet, Bluewhite has not only been able to help the grower maximize their existing assets, and lessen their environmental footprint by providing more precise technology, but they have ultimately been able to increase the grower’s bottom line.

The platform is unique and is currently the only commercialized offering on the market that allows growers the flexibility to update and use their existing fleet with the capability of autonomy. Pathfinder uses the unique fusion of multiple sensors, LIDAR, cameras, and GNSS, enabling safe navigation in every crop and application without the reliance on GPS/RTK or cellular connection, which is not available in all operating conditions.

Syngenta Ag Stories - Robyn McKee, Government and Industry Relations Manager.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
