Robotic collaboration

CLAAS has a long history of being at the forefront of technological development, in an industry where research into the use of robotics, data connectivity and automation is expanding at an exponential rate. In Germany a new technology community, the Agrotech Valley Forum, has been set up which, with €20 million in funding raised so far, has recently moved into new offices and workshops that have been developed at Gut Arenshorst, a farm based around an 18th Century manor near Osnabruck that is owned by the Claas family and today run by Patrick Claas. Here, the new campus for research into artificial intelligence and digitalisation will enable companies involved in the fields of robotics, regenerative drives, sensor networks and mobile communication to work together developing pioneering new technology. The development also includes space on the farm where new innovations can be put to practical work and the robots can safely operate on a field scale, while being monitored 24/7.
