It is the responsibility of the agri-tech manufacturing fraternity to enable Indian farmers with the necessary mechanization, says Srinivas P Kamisetty, founder of Paama Agrico

Paama Agrico has deployed robotic engineering to manufacture soil titling blades used in rotovators and cultivators. The strategic employment of robotics to take over cumbersome and hazardous, manual welding jobs has been appreciated universally. "Engaging a robot to weld blades will enable the precision function - ensuring uniformity in production while facilitating repeatability function each time; this will in turn increase production rate, decrease cost of product, solve the labour shortage problem and increase work efficiencies by several folds," says Vikas Marwah, Technical Director - ‎NexGen Robotic Automation Pvt. Ltd., the team that programmed and installed the robots at Paama Agrico.
