Octiva Mildew Robot
Octiva provides robotic labor automation solutions. They offer autonomous applications such as UV-C crop protection. But also for scouting, autonomous spraying, and nutritional spreading. All these applications fit on the same platform: Xenion. Xenion operates fully autonomously and can be mounted on tube rails between 42 and 114 cm as well as on tyres (if there is no tube rail).
They have christened the superstructure for UV-C, Lumion. It can be set up with a smartphone. And without human intervention, it does what it is supposed to do: Spreading UV-C light into the crop.
Currently, the UV-C light recipe has been developed for strawberry, tomato, and cucumber cultivation. Thomas: "We see our application as a partner in 'crop protection land.' In some countries around us, growers are really completely at a loss as there is no longer a solution against powdery mildew at all."
