RX-20 AUTONOMOUS INTER-ROW CRAWLER

The robotic solution for viticulture

RX-20, the autonomous inter-row crawler, is designed to simplify your daily operations. It allows you to delegate repetitive, low value-added tasks in complete safety and autonomy. The RX-20 robot revolutionises soil cultivation and the maintenance of vineyards and nurseries.

The RX-20 autonomous vineyard robot offers you a complete solution that combines performance and autonomy. This hybrid vineyard crawler allows you to save precious time while preserving the health of your soil. Thanks to it, you reduce the use of phytosanitary products. PELLENC offers you a complete, turnkey solution, perfectly adapted to the configuration of your plots.

RX-20 guarantees precise, safe and environmentally friendly work. Thanks to this autonomous robot, you can increase productivity and enjoy peace of mind.

Autonomy without human supervision and in complete safety

  • Fully autonomous robot, no human supervision required. Certified and co-developed with AGREENCULTURE
  • Safencing® technology: virtual safety boundary that guarantees that the vineyard robot will not leave its defined work area
  • Obstacle detection by LiDAR and instant crawler stop thanks to the safety bumper for secure operation

A hybrid engine for optimised consumption

  • Average working autonomy of 24 hours
  • Average consumption: 1.7 L/hour
  • 42 L tank, refueling in under 5 minutes
  • Hybrid motorisation: 3-cylinder diesel engine - 25 HP, and 4 kWh - 48V battery

A versatile and multifunctional vineyard robot

  • 3 robot widths available: 0.72 m, 0.90 m and 1.30 m
  • Compatibility with a range of tools to meet the needs of all types of farms

A light and compact crawler

  • Easily transportable
  • Lightweight: only 1.3 tonnes
  • Low soil compaction: 350g/cm²
  • Foldable antenna

Adapted tools for maximum versatility

The RX-20 robot is compatible with two types of tool carrier*:

  • Mounted tool carrier: offers greater manoeuvrability for precise interventions.
  • Trailed tool carrier: optimises working width for better coverage.

    *Available options:
  • Inter-row hoeing: designed for precise and uniform soil cultivation between rows.
  • Inter-vine weeding: for precise and effective mechanical weeding.

The RX-20 track tractor can be equipped with a shredder adapted to different working widths:

  • 90 cm, 120 cm, 150 cm,180 cm
  • This shredder ensuresprecise grass management between the rows, delivering a uniform cut and optimal maintenance of the vegetation cover.

"I use the RX-20 robot on my farm, particularly for maintenance and tilling the soil of young plantations. It enables me to carry out shredding, hoeing and maintenance of the inter-vine spaces. Thanks to its low weight and caterpillar tracks, it can be used much earlier than a conventional tractor, which extends my working period throughout the year. Today, my plots are much cleaner, even at the start of winter."

"At PELLENC, our robotics teams are working on the development of autonomous solutions tailored to the requirements of winegrowing. We design machines that combine on-board intelligence, precision and soil conservation to help professionals optimise their work. Thanks to an approach centred on innovation and listening to users, we develop robust and scalable technologies, designed to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow."

PELLENC

"Easy to transport and requiring no energy thanks to its hybrid diesel system, it fits in easily with the vineyards of the Loire Valley. It has worked in a wide variety of situations, from vines at 1.40 metres to 2 metres and very different soil types. Its versatility allows it to mulch and till the soil with very interesting results in terms of both work quality and energy consumption. In 2024, a very wet year in our region, it also demonstrated its low impact on the soil thanks to its tracks and low weight."

Expert support to integrate robotisation into your operation

Thanks to our distribution network, made up of PELLENC experts, we support you at every stage to integrate the RX-20 robot optimally into your operation. A preliminary study allows us to evaluate the technical and agronomic conditions in order to guarantee a successful implementation adapted to your plots of land.

Our support approach includes:

  • Personalised analysis and advice to identify suitable plots
  • Installation of the fixed base and configuration of the crawler
  • Surveying and configuration according to the specificities of the vineyard
  • Generation of automated missions to optimise interventions
  • Commissioning and training for a smooth and efficient robot operation
