To deliver affordable and reliable vision systems to power tomorrow's farm equipment with ultra precision.
19% employee growth in 12 months
Autonomous robotic equipment presents great opportunities for efficiency in farming, but unfortunately it comes at a very high cost. Existing companies sell robotics directly to farms, but this is often unaffordable and requires advanced technical training that the average farmer is not qualified for.
FarmWise rent out robotic equipment to farms and charge approximately $200 per acre of land worked upon. The company brings the equipment and sets it up to work automatically, preventing farmers from having to program the equipment themselves - smartly exploiting the gap in the market where farmers cannot afford such equipment, or lack the training to use it.
In this approach, FarmWise presents opportunities for all farms to benefit from the time and cost efficiency associated with autonomous robotic equipment, as opposed to this being exclusively accessible to corporate farms. The company is well-funded, and seems focussed on broadening its product capabilities towards serving more farmers across more sectors in the future.
