The future of the nursery industry no longer necessarily depends on massive, rigid industrial facilities. Thanks to the introduction of a new generation of collaborative robots, greenhouse management is being transformed: it is no longer just about hard labor and manual precision, but an intelligent automation capable of optimizing every phase, from transplanting to plant handling.
Speed and Precision: The New Standard of Productivity
Imagine a tireless assistant capable of completing 2,400 cycles every hour. This automation system, based on Pick & Place technology, not only guarantees a constant speed superior to human performance, but also ensures millimeter precision. This translates into more uniform crop growth and a drastic reduction in waste.
Unlike traditional automation machinery, which is often bulky and bound to fixed layouts, this robot has been designed with a minimal footprint. With a compact base (just over one meter wide), it easily integrates into existing production lines without requiring structural upheavals.
Technology at the Service of Humans (Barrier-Free) Unlike traditional industrial robots, this system was designed for safe collaboration. Thanks to a lightweight and padded design, the robot can work side-by-side with human operators without the need for bulky protective barriers. Its intuitive touch interface makes it easy to program, allowing even non-specialized personnel to manage workflows with just a few taps.
The System's Key Strengths:
- Operational Efficiency: Cost reduction and a concrete response to labor shortages.
- Total Flexibility: The structure is designed to be easily moved, adapting to changes in the greenhouse layout.
- Rapid Integration: It can be installed in just a few hours on new or existing production lines.
- Customization: There is no "standard" package you have to adapt to; the system is fully customizable and modular based on specific crop needs. You can install a single robot or place several side-by-side in a system.
Versatility and Dimensions: Designed for Real Spaces
- Operating height: Approx. 120 cm (working point at 95 cm from the ground).
- Base footprint: Extremely compact (approx. 104 x 85 cm).
- Reach: A working radius of over 75 cm from the main column.
This solution represents not just a technological investment, but a true strategic partner for companies aiming for sustainable, scalable growth projected toward the global market.
This technology enters Italian greenhouses today thanks to the collaboration with Organizzazione Orlandelli, a benchmark for distribution and consultancy in the international market.
