“Labor shortage concerns within our local growers have really
elevated the need for more automation and robotics on the farm,”
said Chuck Baresich, President of Haggerty AgRobotics.
Haggerty Creek Ltd., an establised company delivering grain and
crop input needs for growers in Ontario, Canada, has been
collaborating with Raven to solve industry challenges for over a
decade. In 2020, Haggerty Creek Ltd. purchased its first OMNiPOWER
and in 2021 purchased OMNiDRIVE to help farmers with operational
challenges they face. The growing demand for driverless ag
technology as an impactful solution for labor shortages pushed
Baresich to launch Haggerty AgRobotics, a service focused entirely
on autonomy, robotics and technology automation at the farm
level.
The second OMNiPOWER platform will allow Haggerty AgRobotics to
lead the industry as one of the first customers to implement a
real-world fleet of autonomous machines. Baresich will now manage a
fleet of OMNi platforms with machine-to-machine connectivity
through the Viper® 4+ field computer. The integration of Raven’s
advanced precision farming technology within the OMNiPOWER platform
allows for a seamless user experience and real-time shared coverage
visibility.
“As one of the first customers of this technology, we are very
excited to bring Raven driverless ag solutions to the market in a
big way,” said Baresich. “The recent updates and advancements to
Raven’s technology are impressive and we have experienced
incredible performance in our 2021 spring program. We purchased our
second OMNiPOWER platform to continue to be on the leading edge of
commercializing autonomous machines as an organized fleet.”
“Raven has made significant investments in our OMNi suite of
driverless ag solutions,” said Ben Voss, Raven Applied Technology
Director of Sales for North America and Australia. “It is exciting
to see a progressive, ag-tech focused operation like Haggerty
AgRobotics partner with us to showcase autonomy and precision
applications in the agriculture market. OMNiPOWER and OMNiDRIVE
position both of us as autonomy pioneers in the global agriculture
industry.”
Raven unveiled their OMNi brand of autonomous solutions less
than a month ago and is actively fulfilling orders for both
OMNiPOWER and OMNiDRIVE™ units worldwide. OMNiPOWER™ is a
self-propelled power platform that easily interchanges farm
implements like a sprayer or spreader. This autonomous platform
empowers ag professionals to perform multiple farm tasks
simultaneously without a driver. Raven’s Path to Autonomy begins
with precision farming products that reduce driver fatigue and
graduates up to full driverless ag technology automation.
By investing in driverless ag technology, Raven continues to
design solutions that reduce operating costs, decrease inputs, and
improve yields for ag professionals around the world. Available to
