Sights, Sounds & Takeaways from FIRA USA 2022

FIRA USA 2022, the California agricultural robotics and technology forum, took over downtown Fresno this week. Industry leaders from all over the globe shared their vision for the future of autonomous farming, and over 45 exhibitors packed the Fresno Convention Center to showcase their newest robots. Here are some of our top moments.

GUSS Takes Center Stage

As soon as you walk into the exhibit hall the first thing that catches your eye is GUSS (and mini GUSS), the autonomous sprayer. Unlike several other robots on display, GUSS has already been on the market for a couple years. We caught up with Grower Success Manager Ben Villines for a look at where GUSS is headed next.

Video: CLAAS | 3A – Advanced Automation and Autonomy – for efficient campaigns.

Together with AgXeed and AMAZONE, CLAAS is presenting a visionary concept that combines autonomous field work with digital logistics planning.??

3A stands for the holistic automation of agricultural processes, in which autonomous machines, implements and logistics systems are digitally networked with one another. The aim is to plan, coordinate and dynamically control the entire process chain in advance, for example for sowing, fertilising or plant protection. This results in adaptive, just-in-time organised processes in which resources are available exactly when and where they are needed. ??

The core is interoperable communication between digital platforms such as CLAAS connect and myAMAZONE operations, which is standardised by the AEF Agricultural Interoperability Network (AgIN). 3A illustrates how autonomous and highly automated systems can be combined to form an efficient overall solution.
