更加智能的農(nóng)業(yè)用噴藥機(jī)，為農(nóng)民帶來更大收益

/美通社/ -- 凱斯紐荷蘭工業(yè)集團(tuán)收購了Augmenta，加速發(fā)展創(chuàng)新的“感知與執(zhí)行”技術(shù)。Augmenta是凱斯紐荷蘭工業(yè)集團(tuán)投資部門此前的一個(gè)投資項(xiàng)目，同時(shí)也是公司的戰(zhàn)略合作伙伴。

“我們與Augmenta的合作為客戶的經(jīng)營帶來了越來越多的效益。最初是看好他們的潛力進(jìn)行少數(shù)股權(quán)投資，發(fā)展至今，我們決定將在噴藥機(jī)產(chǎn)品上應(yīng)用這項(xiàng)經(jīng)過驗(yàn)證的優(yōu)秀技術(shù)。” 凱斯紐荷蘭工業(yè)集團(tuán)農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)械總裁Derek Neilson表示。“這是我們農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)械業(yè)務(wù)的一項(xiàng)重要的進(jìn)展，將通過增值科技，實(shí)現(xiàn)設(shè)備的差異化，為經(jīng)銷商提供進(jìn)一步支持。”

“Augmenta的技術(shù)將加速我們更廣泛的‘感知與執(zhí)行’能力的發(fā)展，為客戶創(chuàng)造價(jià)值，”首席數(shù)字產(chǎn)品官Parag Garg說。“感知與執(zhí)行”任務(wù)基于噴藥過程中通過傳感器檢測(cè)數(shù)據(jù)，將精準(zhǔn)的植保解決方案應(yīng)用在作物中，無論在收獲前或是收獲后。這項(xiàng)科技為噴藥設(shè)備賦予了選擇性噴灑的能力，使其進(jìn)行精確引導(dǎo)和調(diào)節(jié)噴藥量。  

Augmenta在這一領(lǐng)域的業(yè)務(wù)包括開發(fā)多光譜攝像頭和軟件，對(duì)設(shè)備作業(yè)環(huán)境進(jìn)行監(jiān)控，并且直接通過設(shè)備執(zhí)行精準(zhǔn)植保方案。這可為我們的客戶提高產(chǎn)量，減少不必要的農(nóng)藥和化肥投入，促進(jìn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展，最重要的是，減少噴藥的時(shí)間、精力和投入成本。節(jié)約除草劑、殺菌劑、植物生長調(diào)節(jié)劑和肥料，是這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的最大價(jià)值池。

Augmenta的業(yè)務(wù)將在Raven品牌下開展，構(gòu)成我們精準(zhǔn)科技產(chǎn)品組合的子系列之一，它將保留其在希臘和美國的現(xiàn)有員工和辦公室。凱斯紐荷蘭將以1.1億美元企業(yè)價(jià)值收購Augmenta Holding SAS，該價(jià)值可按慣例進(jìn)行調(diào)整。在宣布該交易前，凱斯紐荷蘭工業(yè)集團(tuán)已持有該公司10.5%的少數(shù)股權(quán)，并將以可用現(xiàn)金完成本次交易。交易預(yù)計(jì)在2023年第一季度完成，取決于滿足通常的交割條件并獲得監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)的批準(zhǔn)。
