Yanmar is introducing the next leap forward in winegrowing production technology – YV01.
Leading European vineyards and Yanmar’s cutting edge research experts have joined forces to
develop YV01 – an autonomous spraying robot set to transform the world of wine production.
It’s a unique and innovative solution aimed at setting new working conditions in this sector.
Soil compaction can be a big challenge for winegrowers when using vineyard machinery.
Not anymore. By implementing advanced Yanmar technology, YV01 is extremely light compared with other agricultural robots. Compaction is reduced to an absolute minimum.
Versatility is in YV01’s DNA. Due to its design and state of the art components the robot can ascend and descend slopes of up 45% - a major advantage for growers in certain terrains. And it’s perfect for operating in vineyards with narrow paths and with smaller vines.
Using the very latest GPS-RTK navigation technology, the robot works without a driver. And powered by a robust, fuel-efficient gas engine it works long hours, non-stop. The vineyard simply needs to have a supervisor monitoring the work undertaken.
At the heart of YV01 is electrostatic spraying technology which ensures that all surfaces of the plant - exposed or hidden – are treated efficiently and economically. The result? The amount of water or chemicals used is optimised and with less waste. A big benefit for the vineyard’s bottom line.
Yanmar’s YV01 robot has been designed at the R&D centre in Maibara in Japan and all the components are locally sourced through a trusted and reliable supply chain. Final production is completed in-house.
Quality is carefully controlled so users can buy with confidence. This promise is backed up by the vast reach of the European parts distribution centre in The Netherlands ensuing machine downtime is kept to a minimum, creating an irresistible industrial package ideal for the latest robotics tasks.
