Pitch Session
Carottes de France is the official national association of the French carrot growers for the fresh market.
BY Emilie CASTEIL - Project Manager - Carottes de France, Clément Letierce - Technical Manager - Planète Végétal, Pot au PinDescription
The French carrot producers are submitted to significant weed management difficulties in organic and conventional agriculture: a pedoclimatic context favourable to weeds, successive withdrawals of active ingredients, labour recruiting difficulties...
The inter-row is rather well managed by the joint use of chemical products and mechanical weeding. However, row management is complicated and is subject to technical impasses. Faced with this observation, more and more agro-equipment companies are investing into new technological solutions (laser, electric, microwave, pulsed light etc.). Carottes de France wants to give them the keys to understand the carrot sector in France and the producer expectations.
Carottes de France as drawn up specifications for innovative companies: description of soil and climate characteristics, of sowing patterns and technical itineraries; acceptability thresholds in terms of precision, efficiency level, selectivity; possible technical characteristics (plant stages, mode of action, work output). The main elements of this specifications will be presented by the Project Manager (Emilie Casteil) and a carrot producer of Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Clément Letierce).

As Ag robot manufacturers master vehicle navigation, the focus is shifting to the tasks, actions and automation of the robot. With the increasing adoption of autonomous robots in the fields, reliability and integrity are becoming increasingly important.
During this session we will share our insights and experiences of GNSS technology, which is in demand today, specifically for agriculture robots. Learn about Septentrio\'s renowned integrity level, and the challenges and impact for operating a safe robot in the field.
Find out what this means for you as a robot manufacturer and how GNSS / INS technology can further improve safety and reliability of your system. Septentrio will also announce a brand new product. A very rugged and reliable Inertial GNSS Smart Antenna, perhaps a perfect fit for your robot?

The question « What’s the worst that could happen? » is essential when discussing GNSS for autonomy.
Real-world scenarios can be challenging and unpredictable - imagine a machine wakes up without knowing its location or orientation, sensors are not synchronized properly, or while operating the machine impacts an obstacle on the edge of the field because of a bad position, or poor surveying techniques and data handling.
Scenarios like those emphasize the criticality of precise and reliable positioning, not only from hardware but process. For situations where high levels of redundancy and diagnostic capability are required and to minimize the risk of the worst-case scenarios, Hexagon | NovAtel’s GNSS hardware and software solutions are designed and built to provide the level of positioning integrity, reliability and redundancy needed for autonomous applications, from driver assistance through to partial, conditional and full autonomy.
The industry is moving away from research and development and highly technically supervised operations to production and scale with machines being in the hands of farmers...What’s the worst that could happen?
