Gus, the low-cost asparagus harvester
Our innovative design revolutionizes asparagus harvesting - using a robotic arm equipped with an advanced end-effector.
By utilizing passive cutting, we minimize bruising and crop degradation, preserving asparagus quality.
Not only does this reduce labour costs and crop wastage, but it also addresses key industry challenges, including water and nutrient loss, and flavor reduction. Unlike alternative solutions with unnecessary complexities and potential points of failure, our cost-effective approach prioritizes reliability.
Our design ensures consistent quality, increases efficiency, and offers scalability. In 2020 co-founders Robyn and David Sands embarked on a mission to revolutionize agricultural technology.
Through collaboration with asparagus growers, we iterated and developed our technology to suit their needs.
Sustainability and practicality guided our choices, leading to a solution that works for growers while remaining eco-friendly.
Our story is one of dedication, culminating in a ground-breaking innovation that we believe will help shape the future of agriculture, logistics and supply chain solutions.
