A Smarter Way to Manage Orchards

We’re excited to announce that Avalon Robotics has officially filed a provisional patent for a revolutionary orchard management system designed to modernize and automate the entire agronomy process.

Our system transforms traditional orchard operations by integrating robotics, automation, and real-time data into one cohesive platform capable of:

• 🍎 Detecting fruit readiness and performing precision harvesting

• 📦 Sorting fruit at the point of harvest, not just at the packing house

• 💧 Monitoring ground moisture and executing adaptive irrigation

• 🐛 Identifying and treating pest and invasive species intrusions

• 🌿 Assessing plant health and performing pruning or maintenance

• 🚁 Flying an overhead robotic carriage system that deploys the right tool at the right time

• 🔄 Automatically switching tools mid-mission, without human intervention

• 📊 Forecasting crop yield and managing orchard-wide scheduling through AI

Instead of isolated machines performing single tasks, this system unifies all subsystems—plant care, pest control, soil management, harvesting—into a smart, self-adjusting platform. It operates continuously, adapting in real time to weather, soil conditions, and crop needs with minimal human oversight.

By sorting fruit as it’s picked—not hours later at a facility—we reduce waste, improve freshness, and enable better decision-making right in the field.

This is a major step toward fully autonomous, scalable orchard operations—and we’re just getting started.

Watch our orchard harvesting system in action — combining an industrial cable robot and a robotic arm to pick, sort, and manage fruit directly in the orchard. Faster. Smarter.

In this advanced setup, the delivery conveyors for preplated roof members are positioned exclusively above the outfeed rollers, creating an efficient, streamlined workflow. This configuration provides a clear, uninterrupted path for completed trusses to be slid onto the outfeed rollers while new, preplated members are delivered directly to the assembly tables. By utilizing only the space above the outfeed rollers, the system maximizes floor space, reducing congestion around the assembly area and freeing up valuable space within the facility.

This overhead delivery solution not only improves workflow efficiency but also enhances safety by maintaining organized pathways around the tables. The clear division of incoming and outgoing material flows allows operators to work faster and more effectively, enabling a continuous and efficient cycle of truss production without compromising workspace.

This one-story modular manufacturing facility is a streamlined, centralized hub dedicated to the efficient production of fully automated walls, floors, and ceilings for modular construction. Inside, advanced robotics and automation systems handle assembly, ensuring high-quality precision and consistency across every component. By consolidating operations in a single location, this facility allows workers to benefit from a stable work environment, eliminating the need to move between job sites daily.

Beyond improved workforce satisfaction, this setup enhances inventory management, with materials consistently stocked and monitored on-site, reducing delays. Production management and planning are optimized through integrated systems that track workflow, predict needs, and ensure seamless operation from start to finish. This facility stands as a comprehensive solution to modular construction, balancing automation with a consistent workspace to drive productivity, quality, and worker satisfaction.

In this demonstration video, a real robot is equipped with a specialized rebar tying gun to precisely secure rebar joints, showcasing the feasibility of automating this traditionally manual task. The robot, programmed for accurate, consistent movement, positions the tying gun at each rebar intersection and performs a secure tie with precision, ensuring optimal stability and alignment of the rebar structure. This demonstration highlights the potential for automated rebar tying to improve safety, speed, and consistency on construction sites, proving that robots can reliably handle rebar assembly with minimal human intervention. This prototype setup serves as a foundational step towards integrating robotic solutions for rebar tying, illustrating how automation can streamline labor-intensive processes in construction.

This onsite wall panel system revolutionizes residential framing by using robotics to assemble wall panels directly at the construction site. The system arrives in three 40-foot containers, delivered by semis and set up on the ground, creating a compact, efficient onsite factory. By building panels on location, this system eliminates the high costs and logistical challenges of transporting bulky, pre-fabricated wall panels from an offsite facility.

Once set up, a single operator controls the automated assembly process, guiding the robots as they cut, position, and fasten each panel with precision. This streamlined setup improves the quality and consistency of each wall panel, reducing errors and rework. As panels are completed, they are quickly moved to their installation points using a telehandler, which allows for smooth, efficient delivery within the site. This innovative approach not only accelerates the framing process but also provides significant cost savings and ensures high-quality framing tailored precisely to each build, redefining speed and efficiency in residential construction.
