Sabanto

The Sabanto Autonomy System is a retrofit kit that converts a conventional tractor into a fully autonomous machine. Each kit includes satellite-corrected GNSS receivers, onboard cameras, perception sensors, electronic actuators, and a central control unit that manages and monitors the tractor’s systems. Sabanto's autonomy is available through a network of certified dealers across the United States and Australia. Installation is performed by dealers and typically takes about one day. Once installed, the system connects to Sabanto’s Vehicle Mission Control (vMC) and Vehicle Operating System (vOS). Together, these platforms allow autonomous navigation with minimal human oversight. Using a phone or computer, farmers can plan daily field operations, start and deploy tractors, and monitor live data, such as the tractor’s location, speed, and fuel levels.

Rather than selling its systems outright, Sabanto operates under a Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS) model. Farmers subscribe annually to deploy and maintain their autonomy kits, with plans that include dealer installation, maintenance, cellular/GNSS connectivity, and continuous software updates. Each retrofit—priced around US $65,000—includes the full hardware package, while an annual service fee of US $10,000 covers upkeep, connectivity, and technical support. This approach lowers the upfront cost of adoption while ensuring farmers always have access to the latest performance and safety updates.
