Why Tractor Size?
BUILT FOR FARMS
At TRIC, our robots are engineered for the farm. We seamlessly integrate autonomy and innovative technologies with steel frames and hydraulic components, all designed with the familiarity of traditional tractors in mind, ensuring ease of use and reliability for farmers.
COVERAGE
Farming is all about scale. In essence, greater coverage translates to improved unit economics. Our EDEN Platform boasts a coverage capacity that is seven times greater than that of a conventional single-row platform, significantly enhancing efficiency and productivity.
PAYLOAD
Increased capacity allows us to achieve more with less. This translates to fewer robots to oversee and the ability for each one to possess a broader range of capabilities.
TERRAIN
Farms may appear flat, but knee-high ruts often lurk in the furrows. It's crucial that tires are elevated above the plants and possess sufficient traction to navigate the challenging terrain of agricultural landscapes.
FORM
Farmers design their fields to accommodate tractor navigation. A robot with a tractor-scale form factor offers a familiar presence, eliminating the need for alterations to the farm's layout.
EDEN PLATFORM
Our Eden robot fleet specializes in ultraviolet light application. With a span of over 40 feet, these three-wheeled robots match the form factor of conventional spray rigs, enabling seamless navigation on farms with tight turns and obstacles. Featuring automated boom height and wing adjustments, Eden ensures precise dosing even in uneven rows. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, Eden also provides enhanced farm security when not actively in operation.
Why robots are better than tractors
BENEFITS OF AUTONOMY
Fully Autonomous
Autonomous navigation ensures consistent treatments, enhanced row tracking, and safer operation, leading to more reliable and efficient agricultural practices.
Adjustable Payloads
Dosing controllers and vacuum sensing ensure the effectiveness of treatments, providing precision and reliability in pest and disease management.
Data and Analytics
Real-time data capture offers valuable insights for enhanced management of both the farm and the fleet, driving efficiency and informed decision-making.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick a plot
Decide where you want your Eden and/or Luna pest and disease control service
TRIC setup
Robots are setup by TRIC and start running when your tractors can get into the field
TRIC treatment
Robots run cover every acre twice a week at night and are completely managed by TRIC
Pay what you spray
Pay what you normally pay for sprays, get more effective control, no additional labor or management
LUNA PLATFORM
The Luna platform was designed in the same form factor as the legendary Harvest Pro, making it a familiar multi-row platform for strawberry farmers. The base model covers six rows giving Luna a range of 50-100 acres. Luna is capable of carrying several payloads including a boom for UV treatment, bug vacuums, and cameras for collecting real-time plant analytics. With remote start and monitoring larger farms can be cooperatively managed by several robots.
FAQ
We provide our solution as a service so farmers only pay what they normally for conventional pest and disease control
Ground compaction is a combination of weight and surface contact with the tires. Similar to tractors, we use large diameter tires to minimize ground compaction.
Our tractors are powered by a diesel generator. Our first robots were battery powered, but we learned there was often no place to charge them, so we put the generator directly on the robot.
