Insights
Hesai's strategic lidar partnerships with Agtonomy and Alpha Werke position it as a key enabler in the growing autonomous farming market.
Hesai Technology's announcement about supplying its JT series lidar sensors to Agtonomy and Alpha Werke represents a strategic expansion into the agricultural automation sector. The agricultural robotics market is responding to critical industry challenges including labor shortages, rising operational costs, and climate unpredictability - creating substantial demand for autonomous solutions.
The technical specifications of Hesai's JT series are particularly well-suited for agricultural applications. Their ultra-wide field of view (covering the equivalent of two football fields), zero-meter minimum detection range, and 70% smaller form factor compared to competitors create meaningful differentiation in the agricultural robotics space. The sensors' IPX6 waterproofing and resistance to vibration, shock, UV aging, and extreme temperatures are essential features for withstanding harsh farming environments.
The company has already delivered over 100,000 JT lidar units as of June 2025, indicating significant production scale and market adoption. These partnerships position Hesai to capture share in the multi-billion-dollar agricultural automation market that's experiencing accelerating growth due to persistent labor challenges and sustainability imperatives.
The complementary technological approaches of the partnerships are noteworthy: Agtonomy integrates the higher-resolution JT128 model for comprehensive farm management systems, while Alpha Werke utilizes the JT16 for navigation in GPS-challenged environments like dense forests and orchards - demonstrating the versatility of Hesai's product line across different agricultural use cases.
Lidar: The Eyes of AI "Farming Agents"
As a foundational sector of the global economy, farming sustains not only food systems but entire supply chains and communities—yet it now faces unprecedented challenges. Labor shortages are intensifying, operational costs are climbing, and climate unpredictability is making it harder than ever to ensure consistent yields. Farmers are under pressure to do more with less. The future of farming depends on physical AI—intelligent, connected autonomous farming robots that can work around the clock and adapt to complex environments.
At the heart of this transformation is lidar—a core sensing component that acts as the eyes of AI "farming agents", enabling autonomous farming robots the spatial awareness they need to safely and accurately perform repetitive, labor-intensive tasks such as mowing, spraying, weeding, and hauling.
Hesai's JT series—mini hemispherical 3D lidar sensors are designed with robotics applications in mind. They combine powerful environmental perception with a compact, robust design that's ideal for autonomous farming.
- Powerful perception: With an ultra-wide field of view covering the equivalent of two football fields, JT series sensors capture rich 3D data in real time. This enables AI systems to analyze crop loads, terrain, and surroundings with unmatched perception. The JT series also has a minimum detection range of 0 meters, enabling autonomous farming robots to perform close-range maneuvers with zero blind spots.
- Compact size: Compared to similar products, the JT series is
70% smaller in volume. Its compact design allows for embedded installation on a wide range of autonomous farming robots, with a surface height of less than 30 mm. Whether it's a ground-hugging weeding robot or a high-clearance spraying robot, JT series lidar can fit seamlessly. - Robust reliability: Because lidar actively emits laser light, it is not affected by ambient lighting conditions. This makes JT series lidar highly reliable across farming applications in challenging environments, at any time of day or night. JT sensors have also passed rigorous reliability tests—including IPX6 waterproofing, vibration and shock resistance, UV aging, and extreme temperature cycling—ensuring they stand up to the harshest farming environments.
