How Does 3D Scanning Improve Carrot Harvesting in France?

Agri Techni Concept is a French company that specializes in the manufacturing of agricultural and forestry machines. Based in Sore, a part of the Landes region, it develops solutions that adapt to the harvesting of carrots and potatoes. For several years now, the company has been relying on 3D technologies, more specifically on Artec3D’s 3D scanning solutions, to repair its machines and adapt them, to improve harvests. Thanks to the Artec Leo 3D scanner, it can reproduce spare parts quickly and easily, even if the plans for them no longer exist.

One of the advantages of 3D scanning is its ability to reproduce a 3D file from an already existing object. This is particularly interesting when it comes to parts that are no longer available on the market, such as those in the automotive sector for vintage cars. This way, users can repair instead of over-consume. The example of Agri Techni Concept is the case of an additional application, this time in a less common field, which is the agricultural industry.

Agri Techi Concept Relies on 3D Digitization

To ensure a good harvest of the Landes sand carrots, adapted equipment is needed. The vegetables must be perfectly cleaned in the field directly to later be processed in the factories under the best conditions. By relying on 3D scanning technologies, Agri Techni Concept realized that it could improve the operation of its machines and thus increase its productivity and efficiency. After working with CADvision, the company invested in an Artec Leo mobile 3D scanner, renowned for its autonomy and data acquisition capacity.
