Greenbot: Driverless Tractor
From Greenbot:
The Greenbot was introduced at the Agritechnica 2015 trade fair. The Greenbot is the first driverless machine to be developed especially for professionals working in the green sector who have to carry out repetitive tasks on a regular basis, such as working in fruit cultivation, horticulture, agriculture, or the municipal sector.
 The software that controls the fourwheel steering and hydraulic four-wheel drive system is userfriendly, safe and reliable. The Greenbot can be programmed to function fully independent and can be used to replicate tasks recorded in advance using a tractor with a driver. Programs can also be activated using the remote control, and then the Greenbot repeats the instructions. This mode is called 'Teach & Playback. The Greenbot is furthermore able to independently plan its own route and operations for specific applications, such as spraying orchards or mowing public green areas... ( site )

XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting
Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
