SOLIX Robotic Sprayers

In 2023 we announced that Still Waters Manufacturing would be partnering with Solinftec to build their autonomous robotic weed sprayers. That project was a success!! We built 30 robots, bringing the total number of robotic weed sprayers in the US to over 50. In the 2024 season Solinftec robots were successful in driving an 80% reduction in weed sprays for fields they were working in.

Now we are back for the next season building robots that will go to the field making a further dent in helping farmers be more effective. On the manufacturing side we have taken several steps to make the process better through new jigs and fixturing, a customized trailer to haul robots, and refined inventory management processes.

Coal Creek Central School gets a new job

The old Gym at Coal Creek saw a lot of basketball games in its day! So many of the people in this area have vivid memories of their high school years and the fun they had at the school. A year ago this building was able to transition to being the US manufacturing location for the Solix sprayer robots. Heck, 30 years ago the building had become a simple hay barn and now the robot work has put new life into the building enabling new paint, new lighting, and giving purpose to a building that has had a long history of purpose.
