Success Stories

The Farming GT is a game-changer in sustainable farming, offering 24/7 autonomous operation across any terrain. It handles up to 10 hectares per day, using electric all-wheel drive and precision hoeing to remove weeds down to the millimeter. With smart features like smartphone app integration, easy transport, and adaptable row widths, it ensures low soil compaction and efficient weeding for over 60 crops. Designed for simplicity, reliability, and cost-efficiency, the Farming GT is built for the future of farming. The Company is based in Austria but the product can be applied in many other european countries such as Spain, Germany and Portugal.

Optronia, an Austrian-based company and creator of the SprayLogix brand, is pioneering optical sensor technology for smart and sustainable agriculture. Its advanced sensors detect weeds in real-time, allowing highly targeted spraying that can reduce chemical usage by up to 90%. Through the AgriFoodTEF Austrian Node, Optronia collaborated with Josephinum Research to test, validate, and certify its AI-driven spot-spraying system — a major step toward sustainable, data-driven crop management.

Agriculture is evolving — facing modern-day challenges like labor shortages, sustainability demands, and the need for more efficient resource use. Farm-ING, an Austrian agri-tech company, is tackling these challenges head-on with the help of AI, robotics, and the collaborative testing environment provided by AgriFoodTEF. Their Spot Sprayer technology is designed to drastically reduce pesticide usage while increasing productivity and crop care precision.

XiniX AI ApS, a Danish robotics startup, is redefining food inspection with ‘Sprout’ - a soft, flexible robot designed to squeeze into hard-to-reach spaces. Supported by agrifoodTEF Danish Node through the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), the company is testing and validating Sprout’s capabilities in realistic environments to ensure reliability and safety. Recent mechanical upgrades, including a new retraction system and advanced sensor integration, have enhanced Sprout’s readiness for industrial trials and future adoption in food production settings.
