NEXAT expands its product portfolio. This includes a full lineup of tillage and seeding combinations and the development of autonomous solutions. The largest application currently is 28 meter wide seeding in Brazil.
According to managing director Felix Kalverkamp, NEXAT has over the past two years proven that the carrier vehicle system enables a significant reduction in operating costs by up to 25%, compared to conventional methods, thus marking a milestone in terms of profitability and resource efficiency.
NEXAT is also continuing to expand its international presence. For large-scale markets in North and South America, the portfolio has specifically been adapted: seeding technology up to 28 meters working width is now available, featuring direct seeding technology from K-Hart in Canada and precision seeding technology from Baldan in Brazil.
With increased seed hopper capacities, field outputs of up to 200 hectares per filling are possible for soybean and even more for corn. These performance figures highlight the system’s power and efficiency for large-scale operations.
“With our system concept, we combine efficiency, precision, and profitability – whether on 100 or 10,000 hectares,” says Kalverkamp. “At Agritechnica, we are demonstrating that profitability, sustainability, and intelligent technologies are not contradictions, but together pave the way for a new era in agriculture.”
Another key theme of NEXAT is the development toward highly automated and, in the future, autonomous operation. The combination of electric wheel hub drives, a 360° rotatable cab, intelligent environmental monitoring, and centralized process control, already enables largely automated and precisely coordinated workflows today.
Furthermore, NEXAT conducts ongoing field trials for autonomous operation, through which the company demonstrates how agricultural processes can be managed independently, safely, and efficiently in the future. These trials represent a step toward fully automated, AI-driven, and digitally connected agriculture, providing valuable insights for practical applications under real-world conditions.
At the fair, NEXAT will demonstrate how user comfort, safety, and hi-tech merge to enhance automation and efficiency. The NEXAT carrier vehicle system provides a platform to implement automation and autonomy reliably and practically, from machine control to process optimization at the farm level.
“Highly automated systems are another key to reducing labor costs while increasing precision and sustainability,” emphasizes Felix Kalverkamp. “NEXAT provides the platform that makes this transformation both realistic and economically feasible like no other system,” he adds.
NEXAT now covers a wide range of arable farming processes, from soil cultivation, seeding, fertilization, and crop protection to harvesting with the NECXO harvest module. All operations are fully integrated into the modular NEXAT carrier system, which combines maximum precision, efficiency, and flexibility. By intelligently combining the modules, workflows are optimized, operating costs are reduced, and the system’s technical advantages create clear economic value. This opens up new opportunities for farms to make their production processes more economical, resource-efficient, and future-ready.
