The brief

Analyst view

• Solix reduces herbicide by 85% by targeting detected weeds. Over 100 robots operate across 13 states as of July 2026, covering 55,427 acres.
• Autonomous Refill Station completed first season with 1,700+ refills and 45,000 gallons transferred without farmer intervention.
• Expanding to four models (solar, battery, gas/diesel, hybrid) with 50–1,200 gallon capacity. Plans ~200 robots and 80 stations for 2027.

Technical approach

As reported

Computer vision

AI-powered weed detection

Eight cameras feed video to proprietary AI, identifying weeds in real-time. Triggers 24 nozzles to spray only detected weeds.

Solar power

24/7 autonomous operation

Solix runs on solar panels and batteries, enabling continuous operation day and night during growing season without fuel or daily charging.

40-foot boom

Wide coverage per pass

The 40-foot spray boom covers large swaths per pass, completing work faster than conventional spot-spraying. Adjustable nozzles target different growth stages.

Autonomous refill

Refill Station integration

The autonomous Refill Station automatically transfers product to robots in the field without human intervention, enabling unattended operation.
