“In 2027, we’re moving to 24/7!”

When we talk with high-tech greenhouse tomato growers, one subject comes up regularly: how can we maximize the robot’s working capacity?

Until now, our robots offered 20 hours of daily autonomy. The only catch: charging required stopping the machine for about 2 hours. A forced pause that many of you wanted to see disappear.

Your request was simple: keep the robot running without interruption, without adding extra work for your teams.

💪 Our R&D team took on the challenge with a simple, robust, and reliable solution: the mobile charging station with fast battery swap

What this changes for you, tomato growers

Instead of stopping the robot for a 2-hour charge, you simply swap its batteries!

The results :

• Zero downtime: Remove the 2 depleted batteries, slide in 2 fully charged ones, and the robot gets right back into the row. Autonomy is boosted to 24/7. The battery swap takes just 1 minute.

• Peace of mind on weekends: A single battery swap is enough to restart the robots for 24 hours and cover periods when staff is away, ensuring continuous operation from Saturday to Monday.

• Up to 5 robots charged simultaneously! We have designed 2 mobile stations:
  • The “compact” version with 4 batteries to power 2 robots
  • The “high-capacity” version with 10 interchangeable batteries to power up to 5 robots

• Adapted to your power grid: Full station recharging is intentionally spread over roughly 20 hours. Why? To prevent power surges or overloading your farm’s electrical installation. With a single 16A socket, you can recharge up to 5 robots.

We designed the handling to be as fast and intuitive as possible. In just one minute, the swap is done and the robot is back in its row to continue its work.

Battery swapping in 4 key points

1️⃣ Continuous operation: Optimal robot performance day and night, weekends included.

2️⃣ Instant replacement: Ultra-fast swap carried out by a single operator right in the greenhouse.

3️⃣ Increased profitability: Faster equipment ROI thanks to maximum active working hours.

4️⃣ Simplified infrastructure: Centralized recharging of all batteries on a standard electrical socket.
