Flavorite - High-tech greenhouse production and staff innovations.

This workstream aims to advance technology to save labour costs and improve productivity, through pollination, robotic harvesting including AI, staff management systems, circular economy, and LED lighting.

Lead partner: Flavorite Hydroponic Tomatoes.

Projects in this workstream

  • Design and implement research trials to assess the impact of automated pollination on crop quality, quantity, labor costs, and management efficiency.

  • Design and Implement Research Trials to assess the impact of automated spraying practices.

  • Design and implement research trials to assess the impact of automated packaging

  • Design and integrate software into the current labour management system, implement a pilot, collect data, evaluate efficiency, refine the software based on results, and finalise the system after further testing.
