# Solinftec Solix Sprayer at Indiana: deployment

Canonical ID: `7b2a7b42-e855-436c-bb84-b3bc57b485ea`

In its first commercial season in 2024, Solinftec deployed 50 Solix Sprayer robots on farms across Indiana and Illinois for precision weed detection and targeted herbicide application. The robots collectively monitored more than 65 million plants during the 2024 growing season. Applying herbicide only where weeds are detected, the fleet applied 15,089 gallons of product total while conserving an estimated 72,000 gallons of water compared to broadcast spraying. Deployments showed reductions of up to 98% in herbicide volume applied and up to 10% improvement in potential yields for corn, wheat, popcorn seed, and soybeans. Solinftec operates the Solix Sprayer as a robotics-as-a-service offering; individual farm operators were not publicly disclosed. For 2025 Solinftec announced expansion to additional US heartland states.
