Inside look

摘要

Under the shiny stainless-steel exterior of the GUSS, or Global Unmanned Spray System, lie orchard sprayer, tractor and engine parts that should be familiar to farm mechanics across the United States. Good Fruit Grower was given an opportunity to look under the hood of the manufacturing process at GUSS headquarters last summer in Kingsburg, California. Cesar Murillo bolts a stainless-steel protective spray nozzle guard onto a full-size GUSS spray tank at the GUSS headquarters and manufacturing facility in Kingsburg, California. This particular sprayer features the company's select spray system,which uses ultrasonic sensors to target the tree canopy, without human operation. Beside Murillo are two other full-size sprayers being assembled in sequence.
