YANMAR has introduced a new vineyard robot which offers a host of benefits for wine growing operations of all sizes including enhanced safety, productivity, cost reductions and versatility.

Traditional quality, revolutionary technology

Backed-up by YANMAR’s long-established, cost-effective technology and quality, the autonomous robot is a technological breakthrough for wine growers, transforming the way vineyards operate in the 21st century.

Accurate spraying with remote control

“The YV01 autonomous sprayer offers cutting-edge technology and is flexible, lightweight and environmentally friendly as it ensures highly accurate spraying on vines,” says YANMAR Europe President Peter Aarsen. He adds: “It can be safely and simply operated by a nearby supervisor and it is ideally suited for vineyards with narrow pathways and smaller vines.”

Successful introduction

YV01 was successfully introduced in Europe in October at the VITeff International Sparkling Wine Technology Exhibition in Epernay, the heart of the Champagne region in France.
