What does robotisation look like in practice

On 13 August, the NPPL RobotTour takes you to leading locations where you’ll see firsthand how robots are transforming farm work. From autonomous tractors in the field to smart data control and real-world experiences with precision farming. This tour is for those seriously considering robotisation and wanting to know what works, why, and how to get started.

NPPL RobotTour programme

During this free bus tour, you’ll visit three cutting-edge locations where robotisation is already being applied. You'll see the technology in action, hear real experiences from the field, and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
