"Our solution is a fully automated, end-to-end, horizontally scalable grafting machine designed specifically for commercial nurseries. At the core of the system is a modular grafting attachment block, which allows users to select their preferred grafting method—such as cleft grafting or splice grafting—with the flexibility to support additional grafting techniques in future updates.

The innovation lies in minimizing human intervention. Operators simply need to load seedling trays containing the rootstock and scion; the machine handles the rest of the grafting process autonomously. A precision pick-and-place system identifies, selects, and positions each seedling with high accuracy. These seedlings are then passed through a vision-guided inspection unit that detects ideal cutting and grasping points based on height and alignment.

Custom-designed robotic grippers handle the delicate task of picking and positioning each plant. Using linear cutters, the machine performs precise cuts on the seedlings, followed by automated alignment and clipping using silicone clips—ensuring consistent, high-quality grafts.

The machine is designed to be compact and table-mounted, making it highly portable and suitable for on-site use. It is capable of performing over 500 grafts per hour and is driven entirely by electric motors, avoiding the need for pneumatic systems. This not only reduces noise and maintenance but also simplifies installation and power requirements.

Additional innovative features include:

1. A built-in waste management system for maintaining a hygienic environment.

2. Preprogrammed grafting sequences with full support for user-defined custom configurations.

3. Silent operation due to electrical drives.

4. A robust vision system for real-time quality control.

5. Modular design that allows for easy disassembly and transport.

6. Remote debugging and over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling quick servicing and long-term maintainability.

Our grafting machine is designed not just as a product but as a platform—scalable, customizable, and forward-compatible—bringing industrial-level precision and productivity to small and medium-sized nurseries."
