Smart Machine Targets NZ$2.1 Million to Transform Manufacturing Model

Highlights:

• Funding Goal: Smart Machine aims to raise NZ$2.1 million to transition from custom-order to ahead-of-time manufacturing for its autonomous Oxin tractors.
• Extended Timeline: The fundraising round, initially closing in November at the time of writing, will be extended to March to attract U.S. investors.
• Strategic Shift: The move to pre-manufactured tractors will streamline delivery times, boost efficiency, and position Smart Machine for growth in the agricultural tech market.

Fundraising to Boost Production
New Zealand-based autonomous tractor startup, Smart Machine, is working to raise NZ$2.1 million to shift from custom-order production to ahead-of-time manufacturing. This approach aims to streamline the availability of its tractors, branded as Oxin, enabling immediate delivery upon customer orders. Co-founder Andrew Kersley emphasized that this funding would accelerate the company’s operational efficiency and position it for future growth.

Funding Timeline and Expansion Plans
The current funding round, primarily involving existing investors, is set to close by the end of November at the time of writing. However, Smart Machine plans to extend the deadline to March, targeting additional investment from the United States. While the NZ$2.1 million goal is modest, Kersley stated it is sufficient to enable the company to scale its production processes and improve customer responsiveness.

Strategic Growth Outlook
Smart Machine’s Oxin tractors represent an innovative solution in autonomous farming technology, designed to enhance agricultural productivity. By shifting its manufacturing strategy, the company aims to meet growing demand more efficiently and compete effectively in the evolving agricultural tech market.

This fundraising effort reflects Smart Machine’s commitment to scaling its operations while attracting international interest, particularly from the U.S., to strengthen its global footprint. As the company moves forward, the success of this capital raise could mark a significant step in revolutionizing its business model and advancing agricultural innovation.
