Showcasing Advanced Technology

At the heart of XAG’s exhibit were the well-regarded P100 Pro Agricultural Drone and the newly launched XAG P60. Both drones are designed to mitigate labor shortages and enhance farming efficiency. The P100 Pro, with an impressive 50 kg payload capacity, enables precise spraying and spreading operations tailored to various field conditions, substantially reducing both operation time and labor efforts.

Cost-Effective Solutions for Precision Farming

The more budget-friendly XAG P60 features a maximum payload of 30 kg and a modular, collapsible design for transportability and quick setup. Equipped with centimeter-level RTK navigation, this nimble drone excels at precision tasks such as crop protection and is positioned as an ideal entry point for farmers new to advanced agricultural technologies.

Autonomous Systems in Action

Live demonstrations showed drone pilots easily presetting operational parameters through their smartphones, where the drones autonomously performed spraying over rice paddies and granule spreading in cornfields. On the ground, XAG also showcased the innovative APC2 Autopilot Console, which converts traditional farming machinery into autonomous vehicles capable of navigating predetermined paths with remarkable precision.

Smart Fertigation and Remote Control

Among the innovations was the Smart Electric Valve, a crucial component of the XAG Smart Fertigation System. Demonstrated by XAG’s co-founder Justin Gong, this intelligent system allows farmers to control irrigation remotely through a smartphone, optimizing resource use while reducing manual labor.

A Focus on Sustainable Farming

Since formalizing their partnership in 2013, XAG and Chia Tai have worked tirelessly to bring practical and sustainable solutions capable of addressing the pressing issues such as an aging workforce and climate change. “This new mission marks an important milestone for Chia Tai and reinforces our position as a leader in agricultural innovation that is continuously evolving,” commented Ms. Supaporn Kietisirikajorn, Assistant CEO of Agricultural Technology Business at Chia Tai.
