Key Results
- Autonomous tree shakers doubled harvest speed from 3-4 trees per minute to 6-9 trees per minute, enabling farms to complete harvest with half the number of machines. As Niday told the Sacramento Bee, 'Every tree that's shook is roughly $1.35. You can do about three trees per minute. Our machine can do six to eight. So that adds up really quickly.'
- Customers completed jobs 60% faster and cut operating costs by 45%, according to a Forbes interview with Niday. He stated, 'We've seen customers complete jobs 60% faster and cut operating costs by 45%. The results: higher productivity, boosted yields and higher margins.'
- Deployed over 40 units in commercial operations across U.S. and Australian orchards, with 50 machines operating in Australia alone during harvest season. Per a Business Wire release, the company has executed 'more than 45 commercial deployments' with OEM partners.

“The results we saw from Bonsai Robotics were outstanding. The system seamlessly adapted to any field condition and enabled us to harvest faster than when we used traditional shakers alone. This is the most transformative technology I've seen in ag tech since the advent of GPS – it will redefine how we approach orchard management and harvesting.”
