Homburg takes over Ekobot

Ekobot developed the autonomous agricultural robot Ekobot WEAI according to a unique concept. The robot, comparable to the robotic lawnmower at home, keeps a plot (for example, with onions) free of weeds. This is done based on an in-house developed vision system with AI-driven recognition techniques and a patented mechanical weeding tool. The system also has a constant connection to ‘the Cloud’ that enables further analyses of the crop. This example of sustainable precision agriculture makes it possible to control weeds without or with minimal use of herbicides.

Homburg Holland is located in Stiens, the Netherlands, and produces its own drain cleaners, sensor beams, and innovative SmartFarming solutions like GPS implement steering. For these products, Homburg has importers and dealers in more than 60 countries. In addition, Homburg Holland imports high-quality brands, which offer a total solution in the field of precision agriculture. Homburg takes the slogan: “See you in the field!” very literally, and is always at the forefront of agricultural development, with their feet in the soil. They closely monitor developments in arable farming, so that our customers can achieve the highest possible yield per hectare through efficient and sustainable precision agriculture. Precision agriculture and GPS are close to Homburgs’ heart; measuring, recording, analysing and knowledge ensures that the farmer can achieve optimal profit in the field.
