Robomix: automated robotics solution for precision pesticide mixing and traceability
Robomix is an advanced robotics system that automates pesticide mixing, tracking, and application. It combines hardware for simultaneous handling of up to 10 pesticides with an 'always clean' function and software for precise field-level traceability, reducing human contact with hazardous substances and improving crop yields.
Overview
Robomix is an advanced robotics solution designed to deliver total control over pesticide use, mixing, and spending for agricultural operations. The system addresses critical challenges in modern farming by automating the traditionally manual, hazardous, and error-prone process of preparing crop protection solutions. By combining intelligent hardware with a dedicated management software platform, Robomix enables precise tracking of which pesticides are applied to each field, in what quantities, and on what dates, supporting better agronomic decisions and regulatory compliance.
The solution is built around five core objectives: automated accounting and data collection, centralized and automated mixing for higher-quality final solutions, full pesticide traceability, removal of direct human contact with hazardous substances through a closed mixing process, and transparent application records that allow estimation of product effectiveness.
Technical specifications
Hardware component:
- Advanced automated mixing scheme capable of handling up to 10 different pesticides simultaneously
- Integrated 'always clean' function to prevent cross-contamination between batches
- Closed mixing process that eliminates direct human contact with hazardous substances
Software extension:
- Management system for precise tracking of pesticides applied to each field
- Records of pesticide type, quantity, and date of application
- Data collection and accounting tools that centralize mixing and application information
- Application transparency features supporting effectiveness estimation of products
Target users: Farmers and employees of large agricultural companies who currently rely on manual mixing processes.
Technology readiness level
Robomix is currently at an early-to-mid development stage. The team has completed extensive market validation through 150+ interviews with farmers and employees at large agricultural companies, confirming strong demand for an automated mixing solution. A clear product vision, target customer profile, and unique value proposition have been defined. The next phase includes component selection, subsystem development, robotics module construction, software development, and end-user piloting, followed by iterative improvements and market introduction through conferences and trade shows.
