Commercial-scale autonomous strawberry harvesting
Dogtooth Technologies' AI-powered harvest robot identifies ripe fruit in the field, performs precise stem cutting, and keeps quality standards stable throughout production.
Fertima brings this robotic solution to growers in Turkey; it reduces labor dependency, enables 24/7 continuous harvesting, and delivers measurable operational efficiency.
With 3 shifts under suitable conditions.
Night harvesting increases yield.
Target ripeness band.
A sustainable harvest flow against the labor shortage
Labor scarcity and seasonal losses make robotic harvesting a strategic investment. Robots that harvest delicate crops like strawberries while protecting quality standards help standardize production.
- AI vision that selects ripe fruit.
- Gentle, fast picking with a dual-arm mechanism.
- Night harvesting reduces heat stress.
Precision harvesting with AI
With the imaging and sensor layer, the robot selects strawberries at the target ripeness level; calibration and quality criteria are applied consistently in the field.
Precision Imaging
Ripe fruit is selected precisely with cameras and algorithms.
Dual-Arm Harvest
Dual-arm design enables high-speed harvesting with minimal damage.
Night Harvest
High-quality harvest during cooler night hours in the greenhouse.
Pruning Mode
Hanging branches can be pruned by switching three attachments.
Standardized harvest, measurable quality
The robot images each fruit from multiple angles, grades it with criteria such as white shoulder ratio, and protects the target quality band.
Operational capacity plan
Robotic harvest planning scales with shift, battery, and daily capacity criteria. The values below summarize field reference ranges.
Fast integration with existing infrastructure
The robot is designed to work with standard heating rail infrastructure and table-top growing systems. It operates safely in glass or tunnel greenhouses.
Robotic harvest applications
