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.
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.
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.
Unmanned Operations for High-Frequency, Short-Window Tasks
In orchard farming, spraying pesticides demands strict adherence to tight operational windows. This directly affects how many machines an orchard needs. For example, a 133-hectare orchard in China requires only 1–4 tractors for ditching, fertilizing, and mowing. But to complete plant protection within a 2–3 day spraying window, growers typically need about 10 tractors and 10 drivers. Spraying is the most frequent task – farmers perform it 10–20 times per year. The LJ Tech Orchard Robot focuses on unmanned spraying. It significantly cuts labor costs and pays for itself in 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.
We will discuss more topics about smart agriculture and autonomous driving, especially in the field of orchard management.
