Gebroeders Grootscholten makes major automation move

Gebroeders Grootscholten in Kwintsheul grows a wide range of summer flowers, cyclamen and other seasonal products. The farm covers 9 hectares. HT Verboom realised a complete cultivation system in their new greenhouse in Kwintsheul. The greenhouse is equipped with a high-quality mobile container system, a multi-layer set-up for growing or storing plants, several lifts and cranes and a container washer. The HortiTrack software takes care of its complete control. The grower now knows where which container is in the greenhouse at any time of the day.

John Grootscholten is one of the owners. Automation is very important to them, as they see it becoming increasingly difficult to find staff. HT Verboom's solution is all about saving labour, offering a nice workplace and speed. Their customers are reaping the benefits of this. The video below shows how it works.

John: "The combination of a lot of experience of the old hands in the business and the knowledge of the younger guard of software, has ensured that we now have this beautiful cultivation system. We are actually quite proud of our cultivation system. This is what we were looking for."
