When it comes to automation technology, the list of greenhouse grower needs today are multiple, including automation to minimize repetitive tasks (free up labor for other needs) and make it easier to keep good people.

Growers are looking for machines that can use artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision to make repetitive decisions, and automation to improve product consistency (or sort with objectivity). Operations need increased output with the same amount of people due to labor shortages and increased demand for products, and automation for detecting diseases, insects/, and abiotic stress effects.
