Change record
What changed
- AGCO plans a 2027 pilot in Hesston for parts sorting, stacking and tote placement.
- Digit 5 will standardize on NVIDIA IGX Thor; early access remains expected in the first half of 2027 with broader availability over the following six to nine months.
Public interpretation
Why it matters
Customer task definition and a standardized compute stack narrow deployment uncertainty. The next step is measured safe uptime and accepted productive work.
