SKAi, recently honoured with the RHASS (Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland) Gold Innovation Award for mechanical and engineering advancement, delivers next-generation weed control through advanced computer vision and AI technology.

With SKAi’s powerful onboard AI detecting and spraying only weeds in real time, Irish farmers can expect substantial input cost savings, less chemical resistance pressure, and improved environmental outcomes.

Bertie Troy, Managing Director of Grasstec, commented: “We’re delighted to bring SKAi to our customers. It’s a game-changing technology that aligns perfectly with our mission to provide the best in precision agriculture. This partnership represents a major opportunity for Irish farmers to reduce chemical use and improve profitability.”
