HADA recently introduced ‘Ppurigo,’ a pest-control robot for fruit trees at a recent domestic exhibition.
HADA, which celebrated its 12th anniversary this year, entered the agricultural machinery industry with garlic and onion planters, and has since been researching and developing field crop work equipment and agricultural robots based on its long-term field experience to lead the way in advanced and efficient agricultural mechanization.
Regarding ‘Ppurigo,’ the company’s orchard pest-control robot, HADA’s CEO Ha Jong-woo expressed confidence by saying, “If I were asked to introduce one of my main products at this exhibition, it would definitely be this product I would introduce,” and “It is the most suitable product for minimizing damage to medicinal herbs and automating.”

‘Ppurigo’ can easily switch between unmanned autonomous driving mode and manual operation with high mobility in rough terrain and narrow spaces with 4-wheel drive and steering functions. It boasts energy efficiency that is more than five-times higher than existing products, and features reduced noise and vibration due to eco-friendly operation.
In particular ― by providing wireless control, autonomous driving, work status monitoring and work history recording, and remote maintenance that are one level higher than existing mechanical pest-control machines ― Ppurgo can spray up to 500 liters of pesticide on fruit trees and road herbicides instead of being performed by workers, thereby reducing worker fatigue.

Regarding future business plans, CEO Ha explained, “Agriculture is fundamentally a conservative industry, but recently, cutting-edge technologies such as IoT and AI are being applied to various fields,” and added, “We will work hard to develop and supply futuristic technologies that can help advance the level of our country’s agriculture to the next level.”
