Ag robotics and AI company Solinftec recently announced a 243% increase in U.S. acreage under operation compared to 2024, alongside the deployment of more than 100 autonomous Solix robots across American farms.
The milestone underscores the company’s accelerating commercial momentum in the U.S. Alongside its solar-powered Solix robot, Solinftec recently debuted its now commercially available next-generation autonomous Refill Station designed for continuous, 24/7 field operation.
“This level of growth demonstrates that agricultural autonomy is no longer experimental — it is operational and scaling,” said Guilherme Guiné, Chief Operating Officer, North America. “We’ve moved beyond proof of concept and into meaningful deployment across diverse production systems in the U.S.”
Rapid Expansion Across the Midwest and Eastern U.S.
The United States is now one of Solinftec’s fastest-growing markets. In 2025, the company significantly expanded its footprint across the Midwest and Eastern United States, increasing acreage coverage by 243% year over year.
With more than 100 Solix robots currently deployed, Solinftec has established sustained operations across multiple crop types, including row crops and expanding specialty segments.
The company is positioning itself among the early large-scale agricultural robotics platforms to establish a meaningful operational presence in the Eastern United States — a region where adoption of autonomous field robotics has historically lagged behind other parts of the country.
Capital Supports Continued Scaling
To support its expansion strategy, Solinftec recently completed a $36 million bond issuance in 2025 and previously closed a $57 million Series D equity round in 2024. Since its founding, the company has raised a total of $288.8 million in capital.
The funding strengthens the company’s ability to scale manufacturing, deployment and technical support infrastructure across the United States while continuing investment in research and development.
“Capital allows us to move at the pace growers demand,” said Guiné. “Our focus is on delivering measurable operational efficiency and input reduction at scale.”
Solix: Solar-Powered, AI-Driven Field Intelligence
At Commodity Classic, Solinftec featured Solix, its autonomous, solar-powered robot designed for large-scale crop production.
Equipped with artificial intelligence and high-resolution cameras, Solix continuously monitors crops and performs targeted herbicide application at the plant-by-plant level. By replacing traditional broadcast spraying methods, the system enables up to 95% reduction in herbicide use while generating real-time agronomic insights.
Beyond spraying, Solix captures field-level intelligence including:
• Plant emergence• Weed density• Pest presence• Stand gaps• Crop growth stages
This continuous monitoring model enables growers to make faster, more precise agronomic decisions throughout the season.
Commercial Debut of Autonomous Refill Station
Commodity Classic 2026 also marked the first major showcase of Solinftec’s autonomous Refill Station now available commercially.
The solar-powered station allows Solix to automatically refill inputs in the field without human intervention, significantly increasing uptime and supporting continuous operation. By closing the loop between monitoring, application and replenishment, the Refill Station advances large-scale row crop production toward fully autonomous systems.
