Will robotics take over humans in CEA?
Robotics is popping up everywhere, including in the horticulture industry. It once seemed futuristic, but now there are robots picking tomatoes and drones flying through the greenhouse. Developments are moving fast, but not every grower is ready for this. Most growers wonder when to make the switch and what changes need to be implemented in the business operation. Growers have many questions and are often skeptical about the many experimental developments. While co-creation between developer and grower is one of the most important things, it helps the horticulture cluster move forward and keeps it at the forefront of innovation.
