Xavier David-Beaulieu

Chief Technical Officer

In 25 years working in the Electronics and Software fields, Xavier has created several companies such as Unixinfo, Actipole, Shaktiware and Alcom (Atmosphérique Laser Communication). He has worked for them as a Technical Director before going back to his job of winegrower in his family wine property, Château Coutet in saint-Emilion.

Xavier is quickly challenged by grassing management in his vineyard and to solve this issue without using Glyphosate, he invents a small light robot, precise and autonomous able to mow anywhere : the Vitirover. He then becomes the cofounder of the Vitirover company in 2010.

Xavier is an eminent member of the "Jurade de Saint-Emilion" as well.

Our Engineers

Creative and Innovative Scientists

When we get to work in the morning at Vitirover, we can often hear "I had an idea last night!". Of course, we wonder if our engineers ever sleep but at least, we know why our robots mean quality, light weight, cost saving, eco-friendliness and reliability! Our people are passionate about work, and like the robots they develop, they are always concerned about a well done job!

Our mower-robots

Ecological, Autonomous and Cost saving robots

Born in the vineyards to manage the sensitive grassing of the vines, the Vitirover robot has been developed for the toughest environments : think about a vineyard with more than 7.000 vines, plus 20% of posts. This means an obstacle to manage every 10 seconds for our robots.

These are terrible work conditions so Vitirover is easily able to adapt and take care of rail roads, arboriculture farms, photovoltaic farms, high voltage power plants, etc.

Featuring a solar panel on its top, our mower robot is self powered. Thanks to its highly precise sensors, he protects each vine and avoid each obstacle with no gift to the grass it meets.

Quiet and light, Vitirover is almost invisible through the pieces of land it takes care of. It does not squeeze soils, does not require any special maintenance from our clients because it "goes back home" with its shepherd for maintenance once his mission is accomplished. Active protector of the environment Vitirover works towards eliminating the use of Glyphosate.
