We are thrilled to celebrate Bluewhite, one of our earliest batch program alumni, for their groundbreaking partnership with CNH, a global leader in agricultural equipment. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the advancement of autonomous farming technology.
Bluewhite, founded in 2017, has been at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence with farming equipment, providing innovative solutions to enhance productivity, sustainability, and precision in agriculture. Their latest achievement involves teaming up with New Holland, a CNH brand, to make autonomous tractors more accessible to orchard and vineyard operators in North America.
Through this strategic partnership, New Holland dealers will have the exclusive rights to sell, distribute, and service Bluewhite's AI-driven retrofit kits for existing tractors. These aftermarket kits are designed to transform traditional tractors into autonomous machines, significantly reducing operational costs and addressing labor challenges in the specialty crop market. The collaboration also explores the potential for factory-installed autonomous solutions in the future.

This technology brings relief to those situations."This partnership aligns with CNH's ongoing commitment to driving technological innovation in agriculture. By incorporating Bluewhite's cutting-edge autonomous solutions, New Holland aims to elevate the capabilities of farmers, promoting sustainable and efficient farming practices.
Ben Alfi, CEO of Bluewhite, expressed his excitement about this collaboration, saying, "Collaborating with CNH and New Holland accelerates the adoption of autonomous technologies that improve productivity and profitability, and promote sustainable food production."Bluewhite's technology is already being utilized by over 20 farmers, covering 150,000 acres of U.S. farmland, including orchards and vineyards. This partnership with CNH and New Holland is set to expand the reach of their autonomous solutions, bringing transformative benefits to more growers worldwide.
