Agriculture

Robots for farms, packhouses and rural businesses

Moving crates around packhouses and stores, keeping processing floors clean, and running farm-shop coffee and ice cream without extra staff. Our range is built for the indoor side of agriculture, leased monthly with maintenance included.

The challenge

What agriculture operators are up against

01

Seasonal labour is harder to find

Harvest and packing peaks rely on seasonal workers who are harder and more expensive to recruit every year, so every hour spent carrying things around matters.

02

Packhouse hygiene has to stand up to audits

Grading, packing and processing areas need floors cleaned thoroughly and often to satisfy buyers and food-safety audits.

03

Diversification needs staff too

Farm shops, cafés and visitor attractions add valuable income, but staffing a counter seven days a week eats into the margin.

Use cases

Where robots fit in agriculture

Packhouse and store transport

Courier S100 moves crates, trays and boxed produce up to 100kg between intake, grading, packing and dispatch on fixed, repeatable routes, so your team stays on the line.

Feed, supplies and parts runs

The same S100 platform can ferry sacks, parts and equipment around large sheds and stores with level indoor floors, with a hot-swap battery for long harvest shifts.

Processing and packing floor cleaning

Kleenbot C40 sweeps, scrubs and dries hard floors in one pass, covering up to 2,500m² per charge, and can run between shifts so the floor is ready for the next one.

Farm shop and café

Xbot S Pro or Xbot Lite run a coffee offer with no barista, Xbot IC adds soft-serve ice cream, a natural draw for pick-your-own and farm parks, and Dinerbot T8 helps in the café.

Agricultural colleges and training

UGOT gives land-based colleges a hands-on platform for teaching the robotics, sensing and automation skills behind precision farming.

Good to know: what we don't lease

We don't supply field robots, autonomous tractors, milking or livestock systems. Our robots work indoors on level, hard floors, so we'll tell you upfront if part of your site isn't suitable.

Recommended robots

The agriculture line-up

Every lease includes delivery, set-up, staff training, maintenance and support.

Why lease

Why agriculture businesses lease rather than buy

Keep capital for land and machinery

A monthly lease leaves your borrowing headroom for the machinery, buildings and inputs that the farm actually runs on.

Costs you can budget for

One fixed monthly payment covering the robot, servicing and support is easy to plan around, even when the rest of the year isn't.

No specialist needed on the farm

We install, map and train, and maintenance is included, so nobody on site needs robotics expertise.

FAQs

Agriculture robot leasing questions

Can the Courier S100 work in a cold store?

Low temperatures affect battery runtime and some electronics, so we assess temperature, floor condition and route during the site survey before recommending it for chilled areas.

Can the robots go outdoors or across yards?

No. The range is designed for indoor use on level, hard floors. Routes across yards, gravel, mud or uneven ground aren't suitable, but routes within and between connected indoor spaces usually are.

Is there funding available for farm robotics?

Grant and funding schemes change regularly, so we don't advise on eligibility. We can provide quotes and specifications to support an application you're making.

Do you cover rural sites?

Yes, we work with sites across the UK. Delivery, set-up and staff training are part of every lease, and we'll confirm support arrangements for your area in the proposal.
