Agrishow 2026 Showcases Autonomous Machines, Drone Logistics and Farm Cloud Platforms

Overview

• Dji, which presented its Dock 3 base and FlyCart 100 cargo drone on Thursday at the Ribeirão Preto fair, highlighted remote 24/7 flights and short-range aerial delivery with public demos.
• Dock 3 enables scheduled missions without crews on site through automated takeoff and landing, weather-hardened housing, Matrice 4D/4TD support, and an option to mount the unit on a vehicle.
• FlyCart 100 targets hard-to-reach farms with payloads up to 80 kg, configurations to 100 kg, an advertised range near 12 km with load, and safety gear that includes LiDAR, obstacle sensing, a parachute and ADS‑B In.
• Major brands pushed factory automation into core machines, with Massey Ferguson’s MF 9S offering built-in autopilot, Case IH’s Axial‑Flow 160 adjusting itself using 16 sensors for up to 1,800 tweaks per day, and New Holland’s Defensor 4000 using AI cameras to spray only on weeds as the company claims herbicide cuts up to 90%.
• DJI also introduced its SmartFarm cloud platform to link mapping, prescriptions and flight control, rolled out new Agras T100/T70P/T25P models, and issued a 2025/2026 report claiming large global water and carbon savings from drone use, while exhibitors in Brazil cite fuel and productivity gains that depend on real‑world deployment and training.
