@TenhatLB @Rainmaker1973 This is in Paso Robles

[Pål Johan From @paljfrom]

@Rainmaker1973 Lean more on @SAGARobotics @paljfrom

Sunset in Paso Robles.

The sunset in California is always magnificent!

Even more beautiful with 11 Thorvalds lined up and ready for a night of work to make farming more sustainable.

[Pål Johan From @paljfrom]

@megannunes @BrianRoemmele We can do both. But most of the robots are delivers as a service.

[Pål Johan From @paljfrom]

@megannunes @BrianRoemmele Same tech as TRIC. This is from Shandon. We have robots all over Paso.

[Pål Johan From @paljfrom]

@dunlopfirestone @BrianRoemmele Very cool. And not more expensive than chemicals. Just better.

The Wine Robots of Paso Robles vineyard, California.

Thorvald is a modular, autonomous robot platform developed by Saga Robotics, based in Norway and the UK.

It performs UV-C light treatments to kill powdery mildew on grapes and strawberries, without use of chemicals.

Powdery mildew is a fungal disease affecting grapes and strawberries, reducing yield.

Designed for polytunnels, vineyards, and open fields.

There will be more features added soon.

Thorvald is getting some traction. Rolling out our largest fleet of robots in California.

[Saga Robotics @SAGARobotics]

Thank you, Brian!
Our robot, Thorvald, operates in several markets. In California, we are currently treating >1,000 acres of vineyards this season, and in the UK we are treating >20% of the domestically grown strawberries.

Thorvald is multi-functional and autonomous, which means that after implementing the UV service in their vineyard, reducing labor, carbon fuel and chemical dependency, additional tools can be added to increase the scope of tasks handled autonomously. This is done so at a lower cost than alternative autonomous solutions.

In the video posted, you see our largest deployment of our Thorvald robots to date, where they are getting ready for a night of work. Thorvald operates best during night-time, where the UV-C light treatment is at its most effective. We encourage anyone in the Paso area that are interested in Thorvald to reach out to us, to look into the opportunity of experiencing Thorvald live.

Sannelig var ikke norsk landbruk best på robotisering også. Hvem trenger #Tesla når vi har @UniNMBU og @paljfrom. https://t.co/3WjFXLjvXv
