Key Takeaways:
- Viemose DGS, known for its scalable Moving Gutter Systems, has partnered with 4XROBOTS to integrate collaborative robots (cobots) into greenhouse operations.
- The collaboration enables growers to add flexible automation to existing systems without costly infrastructure changes.
- Cobots can handle repetitive tasks such as transplanting and harvesting, freeing workers for higher-value activities.
- The partnership emphasizes modular, practical automation that expands step by step alongside growers’ needs.
- The joint approach helps address labor challenges while enhancing productivity in controlled environment agriculture.
Viemose DGS & 4XROBOTS: Scalable Automation for Greenhouse Growers
Viemose DGS, a global integration partner in greenhouse technology, announced a collaboration with 4XROBOTS to bring modular automation to growers worldwide. The initiative focuses on integrating collaborative robots into existing Viemose Moving Gutter Systems, offering a flexible upgrade path without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.
“Automation shouldn’t be all-or-nothing,” said Floris Berghout, CEO of Viemose DGS. “With cobots, growers can expand their automation just like they expand their gutter systems.”
Addressing Labor Challenges
Tasks such as transplanting and harvesting remain labor-intensive across many greenhouse operations. By introducing cobots, growers can automate repetitive processes gradually, improving efficiency while reducing dependence on manual labor.
“Our robots are designed to adapt throughout the day,” explained Michael Mortensen, CSO of 4XROBOTS. “Paired with Viemose’s proven systems, they deliver automation that’s both modular and practical.”
Flexible and Human-Centered Approach Brought By Viemose & 4XROBOTS
The joint solution gives growers a scalable way to adopt automation in stages, allowing them to start small and expand as operational needs increase. This approach helps manage labor shortages and rising efficiency demands while keeping people engaged in higher-value tasks.
