Autonomous AI Sprayer Changes Weed Control

Video: Autonomous AI Sprayer Changes Weed Control


Discover how robotics and artificial intelligence are transforming crop protection across the Midwest.

Taylor Wetli, U.S. Commercial Manager for Solinftec, @Solinftec joins host Shane Gray to break down the Solix Autonomous Sprayer and how precision ag technology is reshaping modern farming.

He explains how AI-powered cameras identify weeds plant by plant, enabling targeted spraying that can reduce chemical use by up to 90%. From solar-powered autonomy to large-scale fleet deployment, Taylor shares how this innovation helps farmers boost efficiency, cut inputs, and rethink field operations.

This conversation also explores real-world adoption, farmer-friendly design, early-season spraying, and how robotics could support conservation programs and the farm bill. It’s a look at the next generation of ag tech and its impact on growers of all sizes.
