John Deere debuts new planting technology, electric excavator at CES 2023
(UI) – During John Deere’s CES 2023 keynote address, the company revealed its new planting technology and an electric excavator, that will help Deere’s customers be more productive, profitable, and sustainable.
“Everything we do at John Deere is focused on real purpose and real impact,” Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer at John Deere, said. “This means we’re developing technology that enables our customers to provide the food, fuel, fiber and infrastructure that our growing global population needs.”
Deere’s new electric excavator, powered by a Kreisel battery, will improve reliability, performance and safety in construction. The electric excavator will provide construction workers and road builders with lower daily operating costs, reduced jobsite noise, enhanced machine reliability, and zero emissions, without sacrificing the power and performance they need in a machine.
Deere acquired a majority stake in Kreisel Electric, which created state-of-the-art battery technology for a wide range of mobile and stationary applications. Kreisel's patented immersion cooling architecture provides unsurpassed lifetime, enhanced safety, and improved performance for battery-powered equipment.
Kreisel’s charging technology results in faster and lower-cost connections to the electrical grid.
Additionally, John Deere revealed ExactShot, a technology that uses sensors and robotics to place starter fertilizer precisely onto seeds as they are planted in the soil, rather than applying a continuous flow of fertilizer to the entire row of seeds.
The solution will allow farmers to reduce the amount of starter fertilizer needed during planting by more than 60%.
CES is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association and features every aspect of the tech sector. It is described as the most influential tech event in the world — the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators. At this yearly event, the world's biggest brands do business and meet new partners, and the sharpest innovators hit the stage.
