" In the pot works industry , efficiency is key to success . " With the introduction of the Hexagon Pot , matching Hexagon apprehension , and the Hexagon Pot Robot Line , Bosman Van Zaal look for to provide growers with a solution that elevates distance optimisation , keep down labor , and brings plant health to a whole young level .
" Thanks to the smart hexangular design , 20 % more stack can fit within the same arena , resulting in more efficient use of space and 20 % lower transport costs . Additionally , this supports more sustainable yield with a 16 % low CO2 step . "
This technology was made possible through a collaboration between Hazeu Orchids and Modiform , who jointly develop the concept of hexagonal pots and matching collars . Bosman Van Zaal later on transformed this concept into a technical reality with a custom - built mechanisation wrinkle for the Floricultura nursery .
Hexagon Pot Robot Line : preciseness and automationThe Hexagon Pot Robot Line from Bosman Van Zaal is specifically designed to automate the intact process , from potting to spacing . " This advance line combine test technology with the latest invention in sensors and robotics . Pots are lay with exceeding accuracy , result in maximal space utilization and optimal plant growth . mechanisation not only advance productiveness but also enhance preciseness and body in the cultivation process . "
Two phases of the mint robot linePhase One : Potting and Initial PlacementPotting is carry out using an integrated third - party robot , followed by the accurate placement of mass . Bosman Van Zaal aims to enhance its robotics technology with a specially grow gripper for hexangular pots . " This gripper utilizes air - aim sucking cups that post wad without air gaps , something traditional grippers can not achieve . These sucking cups provide a secure grip , to minimize the peril of plant scathe , and activate the organization of effective rows . "
Phase Two : Spacing the PlantsAfter several month , the plants are spaced out . Since the roots of Phalaenopsis plants often twine during cultivation , the heap are manually removed from the growth table and placed into exceptional cup . These cup , equipped with an automatically correspond collar , brace the skunk during transport . On the spacing stock , the throne are precisely positioned via the collar , and a particular fork set them back into the growth mesa . The cupful are reused , ensuring an efficient and continuous mental process , as state by Bosman Van Zaal .
Future - orient solutionWith Hexagon applied science , Bosman Van Zaal seek to offer nurseries a frontward - believe answer to operate more efficiently and sustainably . " The successful carrying out demonstrates that innovation and collaboration lead to impressive resultant , let in space savings , price reductions , and increase outturn . "
