Dunkermotoren & Motec Introduce Smart Farming Innovations at Agritechnica 2025

Dunkermotoren and Motec will showcase their combined innovative strength in Hall 15, Booth H25, at Agritechnica in Hannover running from November 9-15, 2025. Technologies include how intelligent drive systems and smart camera solutions are redefining efficiency, sustainability and safety in agricultural technology. 

The focus is on transitioning from hydraulic and pneumatic systems to electric drive solutions – a move that significantly boosts energy efficiency while offering robust designs (up to protection class IP69K) and complete maintenance-free operation.

Dunkermotoren’s smart BLDC motors are more than just drives – they are intelligent building blocks for forward-thinking “Smart Farming” concepts. With modern communication interfaces like CANopen or Ethernet, a wide range of devices can be easily integrated, enabling features such as predictive maintenance and condition monitoring.

Dunkermotoren’s extensive experience with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in intralogistics opens new possibilities for the use of farming robots. Whether it’s feed distribution, fieldwork, or barn cleaning – repetitive tasks can be automated and handled efficiently. The BG 75 dPro and BG 95 dPro drive motors, combined with NG 500/ NG 1000 WO hub gears, offer the perfect solution – powerful, compact, and ideal for autonomous systems.

The electric CAHB actuator is the new everyday hero for challenging agricultural applications. Paired with either a brushless or brushed DC motor, it performs precise tasks such as adjusting the crop discharge on forage harvesters – and opens up entirely new possibilities as a smart alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders.
