[PRESS RELEASE] Crover Continues to Expand Operations, Gears Up for U.S. Growth & Launch of Fully Autonomous Grain-Swimming Robot

Lorenzo Conti • February 28, 2025

Syracuse, New York – February 28, 2025 Crover, the pioneering AgTech company behind the world’s first subterranean robot for grain storage management, is entering a new phase of rapid growth.

With increasing demand for smart, efficient grain monitoring and sampling solutions, the company is scaling its operations globally, expanding into the U.S. market, and preparing to launch its next-generation fully autonomous robot, and refining its brand positioning to reflect its success and momentum.


“We’ve identified a massive need in the industry—one that has been overlooked for far too long,” said Dr. Lorenzo Conti, Founder & CEO of Crover. “Every year, over 630 million tons of grain are lost due to poor storage conditions. Farmers, grain operators, and supply chain managers need better tools to prevent spoilage and protect their investment. That’s where Crover comes in.”


Growth in the U.S. and Beyond

In a significant milestone, Crover recently expanded its U.S. footprint with a new lab and small-scale manufacturing spaces at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva, NY and The Tech Garden in Syracuse, NY. This move allows the company to better serve the North American market, providing farmers, grain operators, and cooperatives with a smarter, safer, and more efficient way to monitor and sample stored grain.


Crover's expansion is further bolstered by its selection as a finalist in GENIUS NY Cohort 8—the world’s largest accelerator for uncrewed systems. This prestigious program is providing Crover with invaluable resources and connections to accelerate its market entry and technological development in the U.S.


“Being part of GENIUS NY and Grow-NY is allowing us to establish a clear route into the U.S. market and advance our technology significantly. The support and dedication of the GENIUS NY team truly mean we’re on the right path.”
Dr. Lorenzo Conti, Founder & CEO of Crover


The Future of Grain Storage: Crover’s Fully Autonomous Robot

Crover’s next-generation autonomous grain-swimming robot is set to launch soon, marking a major leap forward in grain storage management. By eliminating manual operation, this new system will provide real-time, high-resolution storage data while further enhancing efficiency, safety, and precision.

What does this mean for the industry?
No more dangerous manual inspections
Automated, precise, and continuous monitoring
Smarter grain management that reduces losses & improves margins


“We’ve always been focused on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. With our upcoming autonomous system, we’re bringing efficiency and safety to an entirely new level.”
Dr. Conti


A Stronger Brand for a Stronger Future


As part of its evolution, Crover has undergone a strategic brand positioning effort to align its messaging, narrative, and image with its growing impact. The company has honed its communications to reflect its deep-tech innovation, agricultural expertise, and commitment to solving critical global challenges.


“This is just the beginning,” said Dr. Conti. “We are scaling up, refining our vision, and preparing for the next phase of growth. With an expanding team, new partnerships, and a relentless commitment to innovation, Crover is moving full steam ahead.”
