Watch New LaserWeeder G2 Products at Work in the Field

Seattle-based Carbon Robotics, a leader in AI-powered farming, has taken the wraps off LaserWeeder G2, its new product line that combines the latest AI, computer vision, robotics, and laser technology specifically for precision weed control. LaserWeeder G2’s faster, lighter and modular design makes precision weeding available to more farm sizes, field configurations, crop types and farm budgets around the world. By eliminating the need for hand labor, herbicides and mechanical weed control, the LaserWeeder G2 reduces farmers’ weed control costs by up to 80%, increases crop yields, and boosts farm profitability.

The LaserWeeder G2 product line delivers significant efficiency improvements, operating up to twice as fast as its predecessor to maximize laser-weeded acres per hour. New models are lighter, starting at 4,250 pounds and the 20-foot model is 25% lighter than the original LaserWeeder. This enables LaserWeeder G2 models to be paired with lighter and less expensive tractors, reducing soil compaction and allowing for earlier field entry. Additionally, its modular design supports machine widths ranging from 6.6 feet to 60 feet, offering flexible configurations to fit diverse farm requirements and budgets.

The LaserWeeder G2 incorporates advanced technologies to maximize performance and reliability. Its powerful new 240-watt lasers reduce shoot times, enabling growers to cover more acres in less time. Upgraded NVIDIA graphic processing units accelerate image processing for precise and accurate weeding. High-resolution cameras with enhanced optics ensure clear and detailed visualization. The 100% liquid-cooled system maintains consistent and dependable operation in all conditions, day or night. With Starlink high-speed internet, the LaserWeeder G2 product line supports fast model updates and seamless image uploads.

“At Tanimura & Antle, we have a long history of implementing cutting-edge innovations throughout our operations in order to drive efficiency, advance sustainability, and produce the premium quality fresh produce our customers expect,” says Scott Rossi, VP of northern farming operations at Tanimura & Antle. “The LaserWeeder G2 is another game-changing technology that we have been implementing in our commitment to innovation. By integrating this precision technology into our operations, we are taking another step forward in reducing labor costs, optimizing resources, and continuing our legacy of innovation in the industry.”
