#Robots helping robots? Read more about a budding collaboration between advanced.farm and Orchard. Spoiler alert: this is actually more about #humans helping humans. It's great to see #innovation in the #apple industry. In this case, we found that a tool designed for growers and sales desks also helps us solve a persistent challenge in the field - measuring robot #performance during #harvest. Read more about why this is a challenge, and how we're working together with another #startup to find more ways to improve our tech and deliver value to growers. Thanks to Co-Author and collaborator Charles Wu.

One of my Co-Founders at advanced.farm, Marc Grossman, captured some great footage this weekend of our #robots in action picking #apples in Washington. The best part of starting the #harvest is seeing all of the hard work from the offseason pay off. The best team in #agtech continues to deliver - one of our machines is picking at 3x the rate of a human harvester, thousands of apples per hour. We're only a few days into the season, and we have a lot of work ahead of us... but we're up for it and this is when we shine! We look forward to sharing more updates on LinkedIn, but the best place to see us is always in the #orchard. If you're an apple #grower, message me for a demo!

It was an honor to christen advanced.farm's 2024 apple harvester before it took off for Washington last week! This year's iteration was a labor of love and it's without a doubt our highest performing harvester yet. I'm proud to be part of the best team in AgTech 🍎

What a journey it has been! As we at advanced.farm transition (again) from the #strawberry fields to the #apple orchards, we take the opportunity to reflect on the tremendous technical progress we have made over the years. This year, we welcome you to come along on that journey with us! This short video shows some of the behind-the-scenes footage of our earliest days in the field, our shop testing (never enough!) and the path from first fruit picked to where we are today. Some highlights: - Millions of fresh berries picked and sent to grocery stores near you. - #Robots picking across multiple crops: strawberries, apples, peaches, plums and nectarines (+ + +) - Tens of thousands of hours operating in the field (and we feel every one of those hours!) Bringing #robots to the outdoors is a hell of a mission - and one we're proud to tackle. More coming (very) soon as we head to Washington!

That’s a razor thin plum canopy at HMC Farms near Fresno. The company is all in on high density to boost production, quality, uniformity. It’s more efficient for both man and machine.

BetterPick Apple Harvester advanced.farm mission to automate the toughest tasks in farming now extends to tree fruit, with their robotic apple harvester. By reusing the majority of the custom technology that they use in strawberry harvest, advanced.farm have gained a lot of momentum after just one season.
