AGCO positions itself as a technology‑driven agricultural equipment manufacturer that embeds AI, computer vision, and data analytics into machinery and precision farming platforms rather than selling standalone AI products. Its strategy focuses on connected machines, guidance and automation features, variable‑rate application, and data‑driven decision support to increase yields and reduce inputs. AGCO partners with specialized ag‑tech and software providers to accelerate autonomy, robotics, and digital farm management capabilities.
