Bologna, Italy – Oct. 3, 2024 – MDB, a leading manufacturer of remote-controlled machines for extreme conditions, received the prestigious “Mention Award” at the EIMA International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition. This recognition highlights the company’s commitment to developing innovative technologies that improve productivity and safety in the agricultural sector.
The award-winning technology, developed in collaboration with Oranfresh and Vision Global Service, is a state-of-the-art fruit-picking system. It uses four anthropomorphic arms to locate, pick and place oranges in containers directly from the tree. This automated process promises significant benefits for the orange picking industry, including:
- Increased productivity: The system can harvest fruit at a much faster rate than manual labor, enabling higher crop yields.
- Increased safety: By automating the harvesting process, workers are no longer exposed to the physical exertion and hazards associated with traditional methods.
- Improved quality: The precise nature of robotic arms ensures that fruit is handled with care, minimizing bruising and damage.
“This award is a testament to our dedication to providing innovative solutions that address the challenges of the agricultural sector,” said Mario Di Biase. “We are proud to partner with Oranfresh and Vision Global Service to bring this revolutionary technology to market and improve the lives of workers in the orange harvesting industry.”
This is not the first time MDB has been recognized for its innovative technology. The company has won EIMA awards in the past for its pioneering work on LV 1400 DOMINATOR, a machine designed for demanding applications.
The “Mention Award” is a testament to MDB’s commitment to developing technologies that improve safety, increase productivity and contribute to a more sustainable future for the agricultural sector. MDB continues to strive for excellence, pushing the boundaries of innovation and creating solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
