Continental Engineering Services at the Agritechnica 2023

Continental Engineering Services introduces an environmentally friendly Weed Control System at Agritechnica 2023. By leveraging hot water and advanced technology, it provides effective weed management without harmful chemicals or mechanical methods.

At Agritechnica, the world’s leading trade fair for agricultural machinery, leading companies unveil their newest products and advancements. This event brings together industry leaders, making it the foremost marketplace and a focal point for the agricultural engineering industry worldwide. Agritechnica not only displays the global agricultural engineering sector but also serves as a platform for shaping the future of crop cultivation.

Why Weed Control System?

Weed management presents a significant challenge in modern agriculture. Traditional methods reliant on herbicides contribute to soil degradation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss, exacerbating environmental challenges. To guarantee future food security for the global population, it is imperative to minimize the strain on material and water resources  and advance with innovative solutions and approaches which meet sustainable and environmental-friendly goals.

Our Approach:

Unlike traditional weed control methods, the Weed Control System operates without the need for herbicides or mechanical methods. Instead, we rely on a simple yet effective method: the application of hot water. Through the integration of artificial intelligence and automotive sensor technology, CES GreenTech has devised an innovative tractor accessory designed to identify and eradicate weeds without the use of detrimental chemicals. Powered by advanced software and algorithms, this mechanical solution is able to distinguish between beneficial and invasive plant species.

Within just 18 months, we have transformed an initial concept into a functional prototype, leveraging insights from automotive engineering. This approach ensures the preservation of soil and crops without compromising on weed eradication efficacy. Moreover, the precise and sustainable elimination of weeds leads to a significantly reduced pollution of the crops as well as the soil which has a positive impact on achieving the objectives of a sustainable future and environmental-friendly agriculture.
