Going forward , craw trade protection has become a whole lot easier for The Mastergrowers in De Lier . The craw protection spay golem from Robur Holland drives over the WPS SmartFlo tracks and castrate the hydrangeas more equally than before . Besides this , the work became easier and faster . This is a premier case for WPS and Robur to combine forces and get to a well hands - free resolution for growers .
Spraying became more funAlex Stolze , read/write head growers at The Mastergrowers : We are very well-chosen with the commissioned golem . Last year we invited both parties to look at our petition . We were look for a less confinement - intensive solution to do our crop aegis . Bundling the knowledge of WPS and Robur has resulted in a perfect answer for us . ”
Alex preserve : “ Until now , spraying hap by hired hand , having to start very early in the morning to get it done , and it is an artistic production to get it done evenly . Besides this , we were shorthanded , and it was n’t easygoing to free up people to do this task on a hebdomadary basis . With the robot driving over the SmartFlo path , the work became easier . More so with growth regulators . This has to be done fairly accurate and evenly , and now , with the semi - automatic automaton , it ’s a breeze . With the remote control option , we can give private plant life sections their specific software program . The work became more fun and well-to-do , and the need to get up very early on to fulfil the same has been diminished . "
SmartFlo , a base for handsfree growingNo ask for additional installation , the existing WPS SmartFlo systems make the substructure for the robot . Allowing The Mastergrowers to take care of their craw safely and almost handsfree . WPS and Robur deal the same imagination : more handsfree grow by automating . This labor is the result of this visual sense and collaboration .
Jan van Staalduinen , director at Robur , has known WPS for many years . “ In the old day , I met Eef , the beginner of WPS , many times . Like WPS , we see the mart originate towards mechanization , television camera intelligence activity , and sassy solutions . We at Robur are focusing on this as well , a collaboration with WPS was a coherent choice for us . Besides this , we are practically neighbors , but everybody keeps focusing on their strengths .
portion out developmentFrom the commencement , Willem Jan of WPS was involve with this project : “ At WPS , we often look for partner to come up with smart solutions for our clients . Though for this appendage , the grower made the match . This made us have a joint purpose . We sleep with that the tracks were strong enough to carry a automaton , but this was a completely newfangled lotion for us . After we shared our data point , the technologist from Robur could confirm this as well .
“ The idea was born passably quick . ” continue Willem Jan , “ Even though it take some time to develop a workable conception . doubtfulness like : ’ How fast can we move and how many liters per minute have to be applied ? ’ had to be verify before we could go to the drawing board .
Since last downfall , the Robot has been operational , first on a test set up at Robur and later at The Mastergrowers .
Partners in Technology and growingWPS is the mechanization go - to for logistics , sorting , and cargo ships system for bedding and potted plants . They make certain company become future tense - validation and develop sartor - made solutions for individual growers . Besides this , all WPS systems can be linked together . This synergy amplifies each case-by-case solution . Also ready for handsfree grow ?
