The Crop’Xpress is the market’s first autonomous machine with an optical sorter on board, designed for in-field use with potatoes, onions, beetroot and root vegetables. This machine meets the needs of the most demanding growers and can be type-approved. Integrating AI-powered CropVision Plus into a fieldloader enables users to optimize machine performance with an intelligent control system. The Crop’Xpress offers a concrete solution to labour shortages and the physically demanding nature of fieldwork.

Added value for the user (in commercial terms, user-friendliness ...)
Greater job-site profitability: sorting takes place in the field, so only marketable produce is transported. Better storage quality: only good-quality produce is stored, reducing electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and disease pressure. Better soil preservation: the soil stays in place, preventing the spread of nematodes from one field to another. Greater manoeuvrability: road-legal, the machine can move from one job site to another without requiring special transport. Its intuitive interface and connectivity ensure immediate ease of use.

Added value for the further sustainability and professionalization of the potato sector.
The Crop’Xpress is redefining the potato supply chain. Thanks to its road approval and innovative design, it ensures high-performance operations in all conditions. It offers a concrete solution for professionals seeking to combine agronomic and economic performance while addressing societal constraints, particularly the issue of dirt on public roads.
