In a press release from Jan. 2, 2025, KIOTI Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA Inc., announced it’s first-ever appearance at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. On display with its parent company, Daedong Corporation, the booth focuses on the theme of ‘AI to the Field,’ and showcases how technology can be integrated into farming practices.
The interactive exhibit will display technology innovations developed by Daedong, a leader in South Korean agricultural machinery. Visitors can explore the company’s blueprint for AI-driven future agriculture through immersive experiences showcasing its self-developed technologies, including precision farming, multifunctional agricultural robots, and AI plant cultivation systems.
“It is an honor to be at CES 2025, sharing solutions that will change the way the world cultivates food,” said Jun Bahk, president and CEO of KIOTI Tractor. “During the show, visitors will see first-hand how technology addresses challenges to produce better, higher-quality crops. In collaboration with Daedong, we’re excited to share a blueprint for the future of agriculture.”
Interactive Precision Agriculture Experience featuring the KIOTI RX7340 Utility Tractor
Visitors will be able to enter the cab of the new KIOTI RX7340 utility tractor for an interactive experience showcasing the use of Daedong’s precision technology throughout the farming cycle. During the simulation, visitors will witness how AI autonomously manages farming tasks, experiencing how soil analysis and prescriptions, growth and pest diagnosis, and harvest processes differ – compared to conventional farming methods – through the tractor’s display system. The simulation leverages agricultural lifecycle data collected during Daedong’s trials on more than 400,000 acres of farmland in South Korea.
Unveiling of New and Award-Winning AI Technologies
In addition to the precision farming technology, Daedong will showcase its technologies focused on AI and robotics. Its multifunctional agricultural robot will be unveiled for the first-time at CES 2025. Demonstrated in a strawberry field scenario, the robot’s AI software will respond to voice commands and its environment, autonomously performing various tasks. The robot will carry out end-to-end tasks based on a single AI model, from transplanting strawberry seedlings to removing unnecessary runners and managing the overall growth cycle. The demonstration explores how new technology can overcome the limitations of traditional agricultural robots that are only capable of automating specific tasks.
The company will also present its award-winning AI-based plant cultivation system. Placing seed capsules in the cultivation system, the AI software, aided by an embedded camera, recognizes the variety and assesses its growth status. The system automatically adjusts environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, airflow and nutrient solution, to allow for optimal plant growth.
