ai-solution

ai-solution is a German agricultural technology brand focused on the mechanisation and automation of asparagus cultivation and harvesting. It operates as the agriculture-focused automation arm of the ASM Group and is a subsidiary of ASM Dimatec Germany. The company transfers industrial and automotive automation expertise into agricultural processes, positioning itself as a career changer bringing factory-grade engineering to field operations. The brand's flagship offering is the KIRPY asparagus harvester, marketed as a harvest guarantee in times of staff shortages. The KIRPY DE.21 is a trailed harvester that can be converted into a self-propelled machine by fitting it to a Braud SB/VL implement carrier, marketed as the KIRPY 4WD self-propelled. Alongside the harvester, ai-solution offers the Octopus foil guide, a front attachment for film transfer, harvesting assistance, and film management during the asparagus season. ai-solution addresses the economic pressures facing asparagus growers: rising labour costs, personnel uncertainty, and the need to improve productivity and quality. The company promotes benefits such as reduced personnel requirements, night harvesting for freshness, and a high proportion of marketable long spears. It also provides tools for growers to calculate their own harvesting costs and compare machine harvesting with manual harvesting. The brand sells and demonstrates machines directly, including sales auctions and demonstration machines, and takes preorders for future seasons. Its activities sit within a broader ASM Dimatec Germany portfolio that includes automation of production processes, special machines for the steel industry, gear and rotary piston pumps, and adhesive and sealant application systems. ai-solution is a niche B2B agricultural equipment brand. Its market is primarily Germany and asparagus-growing regions of Europe. The brand's identity is built on the KIRPY harvester and the EISBÄR cultivation and planting system, combining practical field machinery with industrial automation know-how.

ai-solution is the agriculture-focused automation unit of the ASM Group. According to the company's own account, the automation area of the ASM Group for agriculture, together with the development of the EISBÄR brand as a cultivation and planting system, is concentrated in ai-solution and is intended to be further expanded. The company operates as a subsidiary of ASM Dimatec Germany. ASM Dimatec Germany's background lies in the automation of manufacturing processes in the industrial sector and in automotive manufacturing. ai-solution describes itself as a career changer that transfers this experience to agricultural processes. Beyond ai-solution, ASM Dimatec Germany's activities include automation of production processes in factories, the production of special machines for the steel industry, the supply of gear and rotary piston pumps for all branches of industry, and the supply of systems for the application of adhesives and sealants, along with their maintenance and service. Within agriculture, ai-solution has concentrated on asparagus, a labour-intensive crop where harvesting costs and personnel availability are persistent concerns. The brand's flagship product is the KIRPY asparagus harvester. The KIRPY DE.21 is presented as a harvest guarantee in times of staff shortages, and the trailed Kirpy can be converted into a self-propelled machine by fitting it to a Braud SB/VL implement carrier, marketed as the KIRPY 4WD self-propelled. The company also offers the Octopus foil guide, a front attachment that connects to front hydraulics, a front loader, or can be fixed to a tractor or implement carrier. It is suitable for use with the Kirpy as an automatic film transfer system, as a harvesting aid in hand harvesting, for quick two-row turning of film from black to white, for film folding after harvest, and for film laying at the beginning of the season. ai-solution markets its machines directly, including through sales auctions and demonstration machines, and accepts preorders for future seasons. Its commercial messaging emphasises independence from personnel, productivity gains, freshness through night harvesting, and a high share of marketable long spears. The brand also provides a harvesting cost calculator so growers can compare Kirpy machine harvesting with manual harvesting using their own values. The available evidence does not specify the exact founding year of ai-solution, its founder, or detailed financial information. Its history is therefore best understood as an extension of the ASM Group's industrial automation capabilities into the agricultural machinery niche, with asparagus harvesting as the initial focus.
