Orchard Robot Setup

Positioning

You want your orchard robot to cover every plant in your greenhouse. Start by placing the robot at the entrance or a clear starting point. Make sure the robot faces the first row you want to spray. The SOROB 200 uses RTK navigation, so it can find its way with high accuracy. RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic. This technology helps the robot know its exact position, even in tight greenhouse spaces.

Check that there are no obstacles in the robot’s path. If you see anything in the way, move it before you start. You can use the robot’s display or app to confirm its starting location. When you set up the robot in the right spot, you help it deliver precision spraying from the very first pass.

Tip: Mark the start and end of each row with small flags or cones. This helps the robot’s sensors and makes route planning easier.

Calibration

Calibration makes sure your orchard spraying robot works at its best. Before you begin, check the adaptive spraying system. This feature lets the robot adjust the amount of spray for each plant. You get the right coverage without wasting chemicals.

Next, look at the oscillating nozzle system. This nozzle moves back and forth to cover both sides of the leaves. You can test the spray pattern by running a short test cycle. Watch for even mist and make sure the spray reaches all parts of the plants.

Follow these steps for easy calibration:

1. Fill the tank with clean water for testing.

2. Power on the robot and select the calibration mode.

3. Run a test spray and watch the nozzle movement.

4. Adjust the spray width and pressure if needed.

5. Save your settings for future use.

If you use a multifunctional orchard robot, you might have extra tools or attachments. Make sure you calibrate each one before spraying. This step keeps your spraying accurate and efficient.

Route Programming

Now you are ready to program the spray route. The SOROB 200 makes this step simple with its autonomous navigation system. You can use the touchscreen or mobile app to set up the path. Choose the rows you want to spray and set the start and end points.

The robot will map out the best route to cover every plant. You can save different routes for different greenhouse layouts. If you need to spray only certain areas, just select those zones in the app.

Here’s a quick guide to route programming:

• Open the robot’s control panel or app.

• Select “New Route” and name it.

• Mark the start point, end point, and any turns.

• Set the spray speed and coverage level.

• Save the route for future use.

Note: If you change your greenhouse layout, update your routes. This keeps your orchard robot working efficiently every time.

With these steps, you set up your autonomous orchard robots for smooth, reliable spraying. You get full coverage, save time, and use fewer chemicals. The right setup means you get the most from your orchard robot and enjoy the benefits of modern, precision spraying.

Operation Tips

Monitoring

You should watch your orchard robot as it works. Good monitoring helps you find problems early. This keeps your greenhouse safe. Start by looking at the robot’s display or app. Check the live map to see where it sprays. Watch for alerts or warnings on the screen. If you see a message, pause the robot and check the problem. Walk around the greenhouse while the robot moves. Listen for strange sounds or see if it slows down. If the spray looks uneven, stop and check the nozzle. You can use the robot’s camera feed to watch spraying live. This helps you make sure every plant gets sprayed.

Tip: Check on the robot often during each spraying session. This habit helps you find small problems before they get worse.

Adjustments

Sometimes you need to change things while the robot sprays. Real-time changes help you get the best results. The SOROB 200 uses smart sensors to read plant shapes. It can move the nozzle to match the canopy. This gives better spray coverage, even if plants are different sizes. You can use the control panel to change spray settings. If leaves do not get enough spray, raise the pressure or move the nozzle. The robot uses a closed-loop system. It senses, decides, acts, and checks what happens. This lets you change the spray boom’s height or angle as the robot moves over bumps. You keep spraying accurate and do not waste chemicals.

• Here are some good ways to make real-time changes:

  • Watch the canopy shape on the display and move the nozzle for full coverage.

  • Use the feedback system to fix spray gaps if you see them.

  • Change the spray boom’s pitch or height if the ground is bumpy or plants are tall.

These steps help you spray with precision and use chemicals better.

Handling Issues

Even the best autonomous orchard robots can have problems. Knowing how to fix them keeps spraying on track and saves time. The SOROB 200 has an auto-return feature. If the battery drops below 15% or the tank gets low, the robot goes back to home base by itself. This keeps the robot safe and stops it from getting stuck in a row.

If you have other problems, like programming or mechanical issues, you can fix them fast. Here is a quick guide:

Note: Regular checks and quick fixes help you avoid downtime and keep your orchard robot working well.

By following these tips, you make your greenhouse safer and keep your orchard robot in good shape. You also help the environment and get the benefits of precision spraying every time.

Maintenance

Routine Care

Keeping your orchard spraying robot in top shape is easy when you follow a simple routine. Each day, check the battery level and charge it if needed. Look at the tracks and wheels for dirt or damage. Make sure the tank and nozzle system are clean and ready. Once a week, inspect all cables and connections. Tighten any loose bolts.

Pro Tips

Maximize Efficiency

You want to get the most out of your spraying sessions. Start by planning your routes ahead of time. Use the robot’s smart sensors to scan plant rows and adjust the spray pattern. This helps you cover more area in less time. Try grouping similar crops together. When you do this, the robot can use the same settings for each group. You save time and energy. Harvesting robots can also help with labor reduction, so you spend less time on manual tasks.

Tip: Always check the weather before spraying. Calm days mean less drift and better results.

Reduce Waste

You can cut down on chemical waste with a few smart moves. Modern robots do not spray everything the same way. They target only the plants that need it. This keeps chemicals out of the soil and water. Self-driving machines spray evenly and adjust in real time. Some robots use electrostatic spraying. This charges the droplets, so they stick to leaves better and do not float away. Smart nozzles change the spray pattern based on the air and temperature. You use only what you need.

• Ways to reduce waste:

  • Use targeted spraying instead of blanket coverage

  • Adjust spray settings for each crop type

  • Clean nozzles often to prevent clogs

Even Coverage

Even coverage means every leaf gets the right amount of spray. Walk around and check the plants after spraying. Look for dry spots or leaves that look untouched. If you see gaps, adjust the nozzle angle or spray speed. Good orchard management means you check your results and make changes as needed. This keeps your crops healthy and your greenhouse running smoothly.

Note: Consistent checks and small tweaks lead to better coverage and healthier plants.
