What Are the Operation Differences Between Orchard Robots and Other Agricultural Machineries

Introduction

In the previous discussion, we highlighted the challenges faced by autonomous technologies in most agricultural settings, such as site unpredictability, inconvenient transportation, low electrification levels, and the inability to reduce labor costs.

However, LJ Tech Orchard Robot, specifically designed for orchard scenarios, does not encounter these issues.

1. Operational Certainty

Orchards have long planting cycles, ranging from 15 to 30 years. For example, apple orchards have a seedling period of 1-3 years, enter the productive phase in 3-5 years, and maintain high yields for 15-20 years. Consequently, after purchasing an LJ Tech Orchard Smart Sprayer, it will be used within the same orchard for the next 10-20 years, ensuring a defined operational area without the need to relocate.

2. High Electrification of the Entire Vehicle

The LJ Tech Orchard Robot is entirely self-developed, utilizing an extended-range power system with a high degree of electrification. This advanced system supports autonomous driving and a series of intelligent, precise electronic controls.

3. Unmanned Operations for High-Frequency, Short-Window Tasks

In orchard farming, spraying pesticides is a critical task that demands strict adherence to operational windows, influencing the quantity of machinery required. For instance, in a 133-hectare orchard in China, only 1-4 tractors are needed for ditching, fertilizing, and mowing. However, to complete plant protection within the 2-3 day spraying window, around 10 tractors and 10 drivers are typically required. Spraying is the most frequent operation, generally performed 10-20 times annually. The core function of the LJ Tech Orchard Robot is unmanned spraying, significantly reducing labor costs with a payback period of less than two years.

LJ Tech is committed to market-oriented strategies, recognizing orchard scenarios as the optimal environment for deploying autonomous technology in agriculture. We will continue to focus on multifunctional orchard robots, expanding the range of unmanned operations, and ultimately achieving fully mechanized, unmanned, intelligent, and precise orchard management.
