Priva Kompano: Powered by Motorcortex

The Priva Kompano robot marks a breakthrough in advanced greenhouse automation — the first autonomous robot capable of operating alongside people in delicate crop environments. To bring this innovation to life, Priva partnered with MTA and Vectioneer, integrating the Motorcortex platform as the foundation for real-time control, safety, and connectivity.

Motorcortex enables Priva Kompano’s high-performance motion control and system orchestration in a single, flexible software environment. With deterministic real-time communication over EtherCAT and a modular architecture, Motorcortex ensures reliable coordination between sensors, actuators, and robotic subsystems. This allows the Kompano to perform complex, synchronized movements with precision and safety — essential for automated crop handling.

Beyond control performance, Motorcortex streamlined the development process. Engineers could design, test, and deploy functionality rapidly using Motorcortex’s modern toolchain and integrated simulation capabilities. The platform’s cloud integration allows remote diagnostics, updates, and data monitoring, reducing maintenance time and improving uptime in greenhouse operations.

By building on Motorcortex, Priva realized a scalable and maintainable control solution — one that meets the demanding requirements of both robotics and horticulture. The result is a robust technology foundation that supports autonomy today and flexibility for future advancements.

Motorcortex empowers innovators like Priva to bridge the gap between industrial reliability and robotic intelligence — turning vision into production-ready automation.
