"Autonomous robots that harvest every day"
Fully autonomous tomato-harvesting robots for greenhouses, running up to 22 hours a day with AI vision and a patented stem-cutting end effector.
eternal.ag, operated by EHT Eternal Horticulture Technologies GmbH, builds fully autonomous harvesting robots for high-tech greenhouse operations. The company addresses labor shortages and operational uncertainty in greenhouse farming by automating hard, repetitive crop work around the clock.
Its flagship product, the Harvester, is a fully autonomous tomato-harvesting robot designed from the ground up for truss harvesting; it requires no human operator and can run up to 22 hours per day with consistent cut quality from the first hour to the last. The Harvester uses real-time computer vision to read plant height, canopy, truss position and ripeness, and is trained in simulation on a customer's specific greenhouse conditions before deployment. It harvests up to roughly 120 trusses per hour, performs autonomous lane switching on concrete floors without human input, and features a corrosion-resistant body and a patented end effector engineered for precise stem cuts with zero truss damage. The company's AI enables continuous improvement, with each harvest making subsequent runs more consistent. eternal.ag also offers a Trolley product and an ROI calculator for growers, and the robots are designed to integrate into existing greenhouse infrastructure without modification. Based in Cologne, Germany, the company is led by managing directors Renji Kuncheria John and Sherry Chiramattel Kunjachan, and is backed by investors including Simon Capital, OysterBay, EquityPitcher Ventures and Backbone Ventures.
