What We Are Developing Together
Within the project "Reaping the Benefits of Autonomous Cultivation," we are developing a solution that supports growers with their irrigation strategy, aiming for autonomous irrigation control. This is supported by substrate sensors, static cameras, field measurements, and a robot equipped with various sensors and a camera. Data is collected from different locations in the greenhouse. This data is transformed into new information using smart computer algorithms and computational models. This includes automatic fruit counting, harvest forecasts, plant balance, water uptake, and water requirements, leading to an adjusted irrigation strategy and more accurate harvest predictions.
Due to the highly innovative nature of this solution, the EU has decided to support the project through the OPZuid EFRO Program. As a consortium, we are proud of this recognition and are fully committed to making this project a success for the European agricultural sector.
