OrchardPilot

OrchardPilot is a GPS-independent autonomy retrofit system for orchard tractors, built on FarmX's patented Perceptive Navigation technology. It can be installed in one day on existing tractors from John Deere, CNH, and Kubota, enabling autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments like orchards and vineyards without pre-mapping or connectivity.

Yes. OrchardPilot is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

OrchardPilot is made by FarmX, based in Tulare, CA, USA, founded in 2014.

2 verified deployments of OrchardPilot are on the DEPLOY registry, including at United States (multiple hotel chains), Germany, Europe.

OrchardPilot is in pilot deployments with named customers and is not yet broadly for sale.

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable agriculture robots to OrchardPilot include VMS V310, John Deere autonomous tractor + See & Spray, MK-V, Solinftec Solix Ag Robotics.

OrchardPilot and VMS V310 (DeLaval · 9 deployments) are both agriculture robots on the DEPLOY registry. OrchardPilot has 2 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, OrchardPilot ranks in roughly the top 67% of agriculture models tracked by the registry.

OrchardPilot is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.

OrchardPilot has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
