Machines applying artificial intelligence are no longer strangers in the era of technological development. However, the application to agriculture is not much. And an innovative unmanned, electric tractor in the United States has helped to improve the costs and energy of the farmers here, while also contributing to a green, sustainable agriculture.
Wente Vineyards is one of America's oldest and most famous family-run vineyards. This family winery dates back to 1883 in Livermore, California. Over the generations, this family's vineyard has always been adopting the methods of growing grapes and producing wines that combine both traditional and modern.
Wente Vineyards Vineyards is currently a member of California's Sustainable Vineyard Program. Therefore, applying modern scientific and technical solutions in growing and processing grapes is always the top priority for this family to ensure good soil, while not causing hazards to workers and environment.

Wente Vineyards has been around since 1883, so in our 138th year we remain particularly focused on sustainability and how to improve it, said Ms. Niki Wente, Manager of Wente Vineyards. his firm. We try to do better, to make sure the soil is conserved for the next generation. So we decided to use this special tractor this year, which is expected to be 2 units in the beginning of the new year.
The particular tractor that the vineyard manager mentions is a new invention by the California-based Monarch tractor company. This is an intelligent, all-electric, automatic tractor and can help enhance sustainability in agriculture, by eliminating harmful emissions, reducing the need for herbicides and keeping the farmer is not affected by health.
Praveen Penmetsa, Monarch Tractor Company, said that Monarch tractors are aiming for a more sustainable and safe future by eliminating harmful emissions, reducing the need for herbicides and keeping workers. not compromised with the optional ability of the driver.
This tractor is the bridge that brings sustainability and profit to the farm. The farmer does not have to choose either of these. We believe it offers both benefits and the best results.
Monarch tractors are more environmentally friendly than any other machine on the market. It can work for 10 hours and only needs 4-5 hours to charge, greatly reducing farm emissions. The portable battery changer allows farmers to change batteries themselves in the field in less than 10 minutes.
The machine is intelligently designed with 8 cameras and sensors to monitor 360 degrees in the surroundings, this tractor can collect up to 240 GB of data a day. Through machine learning, the tractor analyzes the data and provides a long-term analysis of the field condition. Sensors and images are processed to provide critical data points that can be used to make real-time deployment tuning in addition to long-term productivity estimates, current growth phases, and strength metrics. healthy crops.
Mr. Praveen Penmetsa added: The data is stored in the cloud system and the AI department does the rest. The artificial intelligence platform then does all of this data, then provides an image to the farmer but also controls the tractor's platform and how the machine works, for example the tractor going backwards. back in line we can remove the controller we made earlier. While we are spraying, artificial intelligence can detect how the plant is doing, the condition of the tree, the weather conditions, and then make real-time adjustments when spraying, to adjust the quantity. substance use, maximizing for farmers.
Vineyards manager Wente Vineyards said not only them, but also many farmers in the area who want to apply this machine to their farms to minimize the dangers that agriculture poses to workers and the environment. Especially, it reduces labor costs as the machine uses the latest automatic hardware and software technology, so it can operate with or without driver. The operator can select pre-programmed tasks that can be performed without the need of a driver. Interactive automation features allow tractors to keep track of a worker at work. Through a smartphone or personal device, users receive tractor warnings, updates on current micro-weather conditions and detailed activity reports for more efficient planning, creating quality the amount of farm produce is better.
Ms. Niki Wente said: I think it is possible to create quality grapes and better wine bottles with this artificial intelligence machine, because we will have more people focusing on quality, for workers. no longer sitting in the tractor concentrating on how to operate the equipment. Now, viticulture farmers like us can focus on what to improve the quality of raw fruit.
Monarch tractors have a starting price of US $ 50,000. The company said it is currently targeting vineyards, orchards, and even dairy and solar farms, not agricultural products like corn. soybeans or cotton. And other kinds of intellectual machines.
