Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Apollo AgriGuard

Product & Features

What makes Apollo AgriGuard different? +

Apollo AgriGuard combines real-world testing (100 quintals wheat harvest success), advanced AI/ML models (AgriVision CNN), weather prediction integration, and proven multi-robot coordination. Unlike theoretical systems, we deliver practical, scalable solutions validated in production environments.

What crops can Apollo AgriGuard harvest? +

Our primary focus is grain crops (wheat, rice, maize, barley). The modular gripper system can be adapted for various crops. We're actively developing specialized modules for fruit/vegetable harvesting. Contact us for crop-specific configurations.

How accurate is the crop detection system? +

AgriVision achieves 98.5% accuracy in crop detection and maturity classification. This is achieved through deep learning models trained on thousands of field images, continuous online learning from new field conditions, and multi-sensor fusion (RGB, thermal, hyperspectral).

What's the field coverage rate? +

Single unit: 2-3 hectares per hour depending on crop density and terrain. Multi-robot deployments scale linearly. For 50 hectares, four robots complete harvest in 4-6 hours. Larger operations can deploy more units or run continuous shifts.

Technical & Operations

What's the battery runtime? +

Standard 9.6 kWh LiFePO4 battery provides 6-8 hours continuous operation. Fast charging (80%) takes 2 hours. Solar panels add up to 400W charging capacity. For extended operations, we recommend base stations with chargers strategically placed across the field.

Can it operate in rain or bad weather? +

Yes! IP67 rating allows continuous operation in rain. Our weather prediction system monitors conditions and optimizes harvest timing. The system actually excels in unpredictable weather by adjusting schedules automatically. Extreme conditions (>40 km/h wind) trigger autonomous return to base.

What happens if a robot breaks down? +

Built-in diagnostics detect issues before failure. Swarm systems automatically redistribute work among remaining robots. We provide 24/7 technical support with remote diagnostics. Spares and field service technicians are available. Downtime is typically <2 hours.

Is internet connectivity required? +

No. Apollo operates fully autonomously without internet. However, connectivity enables real-time monitoring, cloud analytics, and remote optimization. We support 4G/5G, WiFi, and mesh networks for flexible deployment.

Business & Deployment

What's the total cost of ownership? +

Initial system cost varies by farm size. Maintenance is ~5-8% annually. Most farms achieve 40-50% cost savings vs. manual harvesting within 2-3 years, plus quality and yield improvements. We offer ROI guarantees and flexible financing. Request a detailed TCO analysis.

Do you offer training? +

Comprehensive training is included: operator certification, maintenance technician training, remote system management, and data analytics. We provide both on-site and online training. Certification ensures smooth operations.

What's included in support? +

Premium support includes: 24/7 hotline, remote diagnostics, software updates, spare parts allocation, preventive maintenance, performance optimization, and dedicated account management. Custom support plans available.

How long is the warranty? +

Standard 3-year comprehensive warranty covers all systems. Extended warranties available to 7 years. Covers manufacturing defects, component failures, and software issues. Performance guarantees included.

Research & Collaboration

Is Apollo open to research partnerships? +

Yes! We actively collaborate with universities and research institutions. We offer access to real-world data, field testing facilities, and our robotics platforms. Contact us for partnership opportunities.

Are your models open-source? +

We publish our research in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to open-source AI/robotics communities. The AgriVision model weights are available for academic research. Commercial use requires licensing.

Where can I find published papers? +

Papers are available in the Research Section and on Google Scholar. Latest: IJCA publication on autonomous harvesting systems.
