YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Niqo Robotics is showcasing the Niqo RoboThinner during the Southwest Ag Summit in Yuma this week.

In a press release, the summit is taking place Tuesday, February 18 at Arizona Western College, and will go until Thursday, February 20.

"We're thrilled to showcase the RoboThinner™ in Yuma, where its journey began. Over the past year, we've worked closely with growers in Yuma and Salinas to address their biggest challenges—lettuce thinning being a key concern. The RoboThinner™ delivers a rugged, reliable, and precise solution, built for speed and efficiency and an estimated return in investment within 2 years."
