Farm-equipment maker AGCO has signed a commercial agreement with Agility Robotics for a Digit pilot at its Hesston, Kansas, factory. The companies announced the agreement on October 20 and expect the trial to begin in 2027.

Digit will initially sort and stack parts and place totes into storage. The announcement does not give a robot count, contract value or performance target. It also does not specify which Digit generation will be used in the pilot.

AGCO makes machinery under brands including Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra. Its director of manufacturing technology, Thomas Enghof, said the robots would take on “repetitive, strenuous or hazardous tasks.”

Another manufacturing customer for Agility

AGCO joins Toyota, GXO and Schaeffler among Agility’s named customers. Agility included the planned pilot in its November 5 Nasdaq listing announcement.

For context, Agility’s relationship with GXO began with a proof of concept in late 2023. A commercial agreement followed in June 2024, and the companies announced two additional sites in October 2026. AGCO is at the beginning of that process, with its first trial still ahead.
