Daedong KIOTI RT100
KIOTI RT100 Transport Robot:
Daedong KIOTI Europe B.V. is part of the global Daedong Group, focusing on smart agricultural machinery and robotics for the European market. KIOTI develops practical, reliable, and future-proof solutions to address labour shortages, sustainability challenges, and productivity demands in agriculture and related industries.
Market Context, Why RT100?
The EU lost the equivalent of 3.5 million full‑time agricultural jobs between 2009 and 2024.
Only 11.9% of EU farm managers were under 40 years old in 2020.
Labour shortages, rising input costs and climate pressure are accelerating automation.
Conclusion: Manual transport is labour‑intensive, inefficient and increasingly unsustainable.
Robotics is no longer optional, it is structural.
