SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FIRA Ag Robotics -- Agri Automation, the leading supplier of Agricultural Automation and Robotics Solutions in Australia and New Zealand, announces a partnership with the GEODNET Foundation, the world’s largest precise location Real-Time Kinematics network. Under the partnership, Agri Automation is both deploying GEODNET RTK stations and utilizing GEODNET’s RTK coverage in rural Australia and New Zealand. Precise RTK-based location services are critical for Agri Automation’s deployment of Robotic Solutions on the farm.
“Deploying fully autonomous solutions is the key to increasing farmer productivity in Australia and New Zealand,” said Chris Clifford, CEO at Agri Automation. “The robotic vehicle solutions that Agri Automation sells and supports require reliable RTK fix. Prior to GEODNET, this has not been easy to achieve in rural Australia and New Zealand. GEODNET provides us with a flexible and affordable solution to deploy our robots reliably.”
“The GEODNET Foundation is proud to have supported Agri Automation with a reliable RTK service at numerous farms in Australia and New Zealand. Affordable automated agriculture is a major focus area for GEODNET, and it serves as another proof point of the practical power of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN),” said Mike Horton, Project Creator at GEODNET.
