Autonomous Tractors

CLAAS, AgXeed and AMAZONE have stepped up their collaboration in highly automated and autonomous agricultural machinery by establishing the first multi-manufacturer autonomy group. 3A – ADVANCED AUTOMATION & AUTONOMY aims to accelerate the development, standardisation and market introduction of semi and fully autonomous tractor-implement combinations through their combined expertise and is open to other agricultural machinery manufacturers.

In many regions of the world, a shortage of skilled labour is a major factor driving the development of highly automated and autonomous technologies in industry. The aim is not to replace skilled workers but to free them up for more demanding tasks, especially at peak times.
