AGCO and Agility Robotics have signed a commercial agreement to deploy Agility’s Digit humanoid in AGCO’s manufacturing facility. The U.S. pilot, expected to begin in 2027, will support AGCO’s efforts to create more flexible, intelligent factories, beginning at its production site in Hesston, Kan.

“This strategic relationship views humanoid robotics and AI as essential ’teammates‘ in building flexible, intelligent factories,” stated Thomas Enghof, director of manufacturing technology at AGCO. “They unlock automation in complex, human-centric workflows, augmenting human capabilities by absorbing repetitive, strenuous or hazardous tasks. By pairing human ingenuity with robust robotic engineering and strict safety governance, we create resilient manufacturing systems that empower the workforce and deliver measurable business value.”

AGCO said it is a global leader in agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technologies. The Duluth, Ga.-based company‘s brands include Fendt, Massey Ferguson, PTx, and Valtra. AGCO said its high-performance equipment and smart farming systems, including brand-agnostic retrofit technologies and autonomous offerings, “empower farmers to drive productivity while sustainably feeding the world.”

Digit uses AI to continuously learn and adapt to evolving workflows, enabling greater operational flexibility and improved productivity, according to Agility. When paired with the Agility Arc cloud-based platform for deploying and managing robot fleets, companies can rapidly integrate automation into essential operations without requiring extensive infrastructure changes or costly facility upgrades, it added.

AGCO joins a growing number of global leading companies deploying Agility’s humanoid robots, including Toyota , GXO Logistics , and Schaeffler .
