Reality matters more than theory.
We test solutions on a real task: in a workflow, on a device or in the field. A good-looking diagram is not enough.

The AXM principle
01About AXM / Ars Ex Machina
AXM connects robotics, agriculture and digital products. We start with a task of our own, understand it and build a solution.
Discover AXMSix directions. One engineering approach.
02Where we started
Requests, deliveries, documents and reconciliation in our own wholesale business. This daily work gave rise to our automation and analytics tools.
We take the same approach to the farm, equipment and software products.
0301 / 06 · Robotics
We are developing the Bee rover and a robotic berry harvesting system, from mechanical design and vision to testing in real crop rows.

09Our own site / Moscow Region
Our berry farm and test ground in the Kashira district: this is where we test AXM technologies in real conditions, not on a bench.
The site has a hangar, machinery, a well and off-grid power. Some technologies are already being tested; the rest are next in line.
10How we work
Six principles that guide our engineering decisions.
We test solutions on a real task: in a workflow, on a device or in the field. A good-looking diagram is not enough.
We establish how the process works, who owns the data and where errors arise. Then we decide what to change.
We distinguish a working product, a prototype and a plan. A visualisation conveys intent; testing establishes results.
People should understand the system state, what a button does and the result of an action. We handle the complexity.
We connect tools around the task, so data can travel all the way from its source to useful action.
The physical world, data, decisions and actions form one cycle. Feedback helps improve the next step.
11The next task / together
Tell us how the work is done, where time is lost and what needs to change. We will identify the right tool and how to verify the result.
