Japanese tomato harvest robot in action in Tomatoworld

https://en.inaho.co/

A new tomato harvesting robot has recently been driving through the paths of Tomatoworld. It is the latest product of inaho Europe, a subsidiary of the Japanese company inaho. “The purpose of launching the demonstration at Tomatoworld is to allow more interested people to see the robot in operation,” says Takahito Shimizo, managing director of inaho Europe. “We want to demonstrate the robot and receive more feedback from growers, in order to develop and increase the value of the robot.”

Snack tomato robot
Tomatoworld is a horticultural information and education center in Westland, Netherlands. In the greenhouse, snack tomatoes are grown.

Takahito Shimizo shows how the robot is a fully automatic harvesting device for snack tomatoes. “The AI algorithm identifies the ripe fruits by color and size and then harvests the ripe snack tomatoes.”

inaho has already conducted field trials with growers in Japan and demonstrated a reduction in human working hours of around 16% by setting up a workflow in which robots harvest during the nighttime before humans do.

Meanwhile, inaho also found that there are differences between Japanese and Dutch growers in terms of harvest and post-harvest operations. “For example, the standards for the picking appropriate color of the fruits and the frequency of harvesting are different,” says Takahito.

In order to develop a solution that is more suitable for Dutch growers, inaho is keen to get a better understanding of the Dutch growers’ practices and receive more operational feedback from them. In this context, inaho is also actively seeking a grower partner who would be able to carry out a field trial of the harvesting robot.

Growers welcome
The demonstration in Tomatoworld also contributes to this: growers are invited to come and see and assess the robot. “We are happy to discuss details about the robot, such as its functions and expected future updates. We can also provide simulations to calculate the labor and cost savings, based on the results of the trials in Japan,” Takahito says.

It is not the Japanese company’s first robot. inaho already launched an AI-equipped asparagus harvesting robot (video) in 2019. They are also working on a robot that can phenotype plants. inaho operates according to the Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model – paying per harvested product.

Innovative tomato pruning robot can work all day in greenhouses

https://www.freshfruitportal.com/news/2021/10/19/innovative-tomato-pruning-robot-can-work-all-day-in-greenhouses/

The Dutch company Priva has presented Kompano, its first robot on the market that can move around the greenhouse safely and independently while working alongside other employees.

Kompano is a battery-powered and fully automated pruning robot that can work up to 24 hours a day.

The company’s aim is to revolutionize the horticulture market with this fully autonomous pruning robot that is designed for stripping tomato plants in greenhouses.

Crop handling is an important part of daily greenhouse operations, however, qualified and paid staff are becoming increasingly scarce, while global demand for food continues to grow at an accelerated rate.

Robotics offers a solution by increasing the continuity and predictability of daily operations while keeping costs at a similar or lower level.

Kompano has a 5kWh battery, weighs almost 425 kilograms and is 191 centimeters long, 88 centimeters wide and 180 centimeters high.

Its patented arm and intelligent algorithms guarantee 85% efficiency for a week in the space of one hectare. The robot sheet cutter is easily controlled by a smart device and adjusts to the preferences and needs of users.

According to the company, it is the first robot in the world to offer users an economically viable alternative to de-leaf tomato crops by hand. It makes it easier for producers to manage their workforce.

Developed in collaboration with MTA, leading Dutch growers, technology partners and experts, Kompano was unveiled at the end of September at the GreenTech event and is now ready for use on the market.

The robot has already been successfully tested in several greenhouses in the Netherlands. A series of 50 robots is in production at MTA and is available for purchase on the Priva website, although there is no information on the price of the machine.

In the future, the Kompano line will expand with a leaf cutting robot for cucumbers and picking robots for tomatoes and cucumbers.
