Solinftec introduced an autonomous docking-station concept for its Solix field robots at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa. The station was designed to integrate with the robot platform and reduce the need for workers to refill machines manually.

The company described using scouting information and its ALICE AI system to support product selection for different weed conditions. At the announcement, final features were still being validated before production. Season-long unattended operation was a stated ambition; the release did not demonstrate that every refilling, maintenance or chemical-management activity could already take place without human involvement.
