According to AGCO's announcement, the pilot project will start in 2027 at the production site.

Neither AGCO nor Agility Robotics has said how many robots will be deployed. The value of the partnership and the scale of the pilot have not been disclosed.

AGCO's head of manufacturing technology describes the humanoids as “teammates” that take on repetitive, arduous or risky tasks, to reinforce human work rather than replace it.

Digit is not new to real-world sites: Amazon has been testing it in its warehouses since 2023 to move empty totes, according to cnBeta.
