PeK Automotive of Logatec, Slovenia builds 48 V electric autonomous farm robots under its PeK Agroline brand, led by Slopehelper and Agilehelper.
PeK Automotive d.o.o. is a Slovenian manufacturer of low-voltage autonomous electric platforms, located at Obrtniska 17 in Logatec, about 30 km south-west of Ljubljana. Its agricultural brand, PeK Agroline, develops fully electric autonomous robots for vineyards, orchards and other specialty crops, and the company states that it is the only supplier offering a fully robotic solution for the whole plantation agro-cycle. Besides Agroline, PeK Automotive runs a Civil Defence division making unmanned systems for firefighting, demining and logistics, a Defence line and an IT Tech unit for digital and ERP tools. The company has operated under Turkey's Peker Holding since 2019, with Hasan Peker named as an owner. It has invested about EUR 20 million in Slovenia and employed 96 people, with headcount expected to grow to 140 once its new Logatec production plant and offices are fully operational.
Slopehelper is the flagship robot, designed for sloped plantations and rows of 2.1 m or wider. It runs on a 48 V electrical system with a fully electric drivetrain, navigates without GNSS using onboard sensors and AI-driven guidance, and carries a five-year manufacturer warranty. Runtime is quoted at up to 12 hours per charge depending on the attachment. Attachments listed by PeK include a fertiliser spreader, blossom thinner, apple picker, pre-pruner, sprayer, side-arm mower, power harrow, needle harrow, HV cutter, lawn mower and mulcher, and the company claims operating costs up to three times lower than conventional machinery.
Agilehelper is a smaller autonomous robot with integrated instruments for vineyards and bush crops in rows of 1.7 m or wider, shown on the website in a double-sided sprayer configuration. PeK packages the robots into Minimum (Agilehelper, small plantations), Medium and Complete (Slopehelper, medium plantations and agro-enterprises) agro-cycle bundles. The Slopehelper is also sold by other European orchard-equipment dealers, such as Germany's FRUMACO, which lists a Grecale Slopehelper 4.0.
