Bologna, Italy - October 3, 2024 - MDB, a leading manufacturer of remote-controlled machines for extreme conditions, has been awarded 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 enhance productivity and safety in the agricultural sector.

The award-winning technology, developed in collaboration with Oranfresh and Vision Global Service, is a cutting-edge fruit-picking system. It utilizes four anthropomorphic arms to locate, pick, and place oranges into boxes directly from the plant. This automated process promises significant benefits for the orange-picking industry, including:

• Increased productivity: The system can pick fruit at a much faster rate than manual labor, allowing for a greater harvest yield.
• Enhanced safety: By automating the picking process, workers are no longer exposed to the physical strain and hazards associated with traditional methods.
• Improved quality: The precise nature of the 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 faced by the agricultural industry," said Mario Di Biase. "We are proud to collaborate with Oranfresh and Vision Global Service to bring this groundbreaking technology to the market and improve the lives of workers in the orange-picking sector."

This is not the first time MDB has been recognized for its innovative technology. The company previously won EIMA awards for its groundbreaking work on the LV 1400 DOMINATOR, a machine designed for demanding applications.

The "Mention Award" is a testament to MDB's commitment to developing technology that improves safety, boosts productivity, and contributes to a more sustainable future for the agricultural industry. MDB continues to strive for excellence, pushing the boundaries of innovation and creating solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
