ID DAVID and Mula, a developer and manufacturer of autonomous platforms for the agricultural sector, have carried out the first integration tests as part of a joint project aimed at advancing the automation of agricultural machinery for specialized crops.
The tests were conducted at ID David’s experimental farm, where the Mula team traveled to evaluate its performance alongside the manufacturer’s agricultural machinery. During this initial phase, both technical teams focused on trials related to pruning and soil tillage operations.
Mula and ID DAVID solutions: technical compatibility and field efficiency
The initial trials confirmed the compatibility between the autonomous platform and ID David implements, showing a positive response from both systems during the field operations.
“These first tests allowed us to see how our machinery responds when integrated with an autonomous platform under real working conditions. The initial results have been very positive and help us continue moving forward in an integration that enables fully autonomous decision-making.” Miguel García, Project Manager at ID David.
“The integration of implements represents a major step forward in process automation. As MULA is a versatile and multipurpose machine, this integration exponentially increases the number of potential applications and the operational efficiency of our platforms.” Javier Vega, Mula Representative.
Validation and development for woody crops
This newly initiated collaboration focuses on technical validation, compatibility analysis, and the identification of agricultural tasks with automation potential. The goal is to move progressively toward solutions that can be applied to specialized crops such as vineyards, olive, almond, and fruit orchards.
ID David brings to the project its expertise as a manufacturer of agricultural machinery for woody crops and its understanding of the farmer’s real needs in tasks like pruning, soil maintenance, weeding, tillage, and canopy management. Mula, for its part, contributes its autonomous platform along with its navigation, control, and task-planning technology.
“We believe automation must integrate naturally with existing agricultural machinery and the actual way work is done in the field. These tests are an important step toward developing useful, reliable solutions tailored to the farmer.” Miguel García, Project Manager at ID David.
With Mula, we take a firm step toward the future of agricultural robotics
With this collaboration, ID David and Mula initiate a joint line of work to explore new applications in agricultural automation, combining industrial expertise, agronomic knowledge, and autonomous technology applied to the field.
