The case: automatic Growcoon Dispenser

The family company cultivates perennials in the Growcoon 104M-H44. Uniform growth, a higher plant quality and the sustainable nature are the most important benefits for Gebr. Alkemade.
The result:
The Growcoon allows cuttings to be delivered easily and quickly. This saves Gebr. Alkemade BV a great deal of time.

About 
The Growcoon is a biodegradable growth and seed plug which provides room for the plant to develop in a natural way. The Growcoon has been in existence for a number of years now, with extremely good results. This is also apparent from the large number of growers who have switched to using the Growcoon.
Automation is essential in large-scale (greenhouse) horticulture. In order to handle the product effectively, large numbers must be de-stacked and put to use in a short period of time. Flier Systems provides an application for automated production processes with the Growcoon Dispenser.
