"In the past few years, as people become more familiar with farming robots, the applications for these machines are increasing. Compared to the same period last year, the sales of farming robots have increased from 80% to 100%," says Mr. Peng Gang from Botian Automation Technology in Suzhou.

"At present, our clientele is mainly located in Shaanxi, the South of Shanxi, South Jiangsu, North Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guangxi, Henan and Yunnan. They are dealers in economic regions and large-scale cultivators. The customers also include fruit orchards or enterprises that operate on a relatively large scale and a few cooperatives and individuals with an advanced awareness of management. In general the scale of operation is usually above 33 hectares." No clear market competition "Judging from the current market, competition has not yet entered on the market. But as the market becomes more and more aware of our products, market competition also becomes increasingly fierce. This doesn't worry us. We are a professional company that engages in the research and development of intelligent equipment and industrialised high-standard technology. We have created an advantageous industry platform with the robotics and micro-systems research centre of Suzhou University. In the future, we will thoroughly research the development of intelligent products. We will cover the robotic products for the main segments of fruit industry and agricultural facilities and field management. Our production is focused in the Northwest, East and South of China."
