Fruit Logistica Berlin
Connecting automation, cultivation and people
Fruit Logistica brings together cultivation, technology and market requirements from across the horticultural value chain. For Flier Systems, it is not only a place to show automation in operation, but also an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships and build new connections within the industry.
At Fruit Logistica, we demonstrate automation as it functions in real production environments. The same machines as at IPM run live and serve as practical reference points for open discussions about how automation supports different propagation and production strategies.
SVS 25 Smart Vision Seeder
The SVS 25 is a seeding machine that uses vision technology to check every single cell during sowing. Doubles and misses are detected immediately and corrected in real time, resulting in a more uniform tray.
In practice, this leads to more consistent germination and less dependency on operator skills. The SVS 25 helps growers maintain control over sowing quality, particularly when working with challenging seeds.
SPH Transplanter with focus on roots and hygiene
The SPH Transplanter automatically transfers young plants from one tray or raft to another using vision technology. Each plant is individually recognized and placed with high accuracy, while root guidance supports stable positioning during the transplanting process.
For operations where hygiene and uniformity are critical, the machine is designed to minimize the risk of cross contamination. Open access and fast cleaning support consistent hygiene standards. By measuring each raft, the SPH Transplanter ensures correct positioning, even when tolerances between rafts vary.
Presentation: field grown vs greenhouse CEA lettuce
On Wednesday February 4, from 12:00 to 12:20, Ad Kranendonk of Flier Systems and Marco de Bruin of Lettuce Lead will give a joint presentation on the differences between field grown lettuce and greenhouse CEA grown lettuce.
Using a real life hydroponics case, they will explain why lettuce production is increasingly shifting from field grown to greenhouse based CEA systems, and how automation, cost control, reduced labour dependency and location flexibility are reshaping the economics of lettuce production.
Location: Hall 21, F 60
Let’s meet at Fruit Logistica
Fruit Logistica is an important moment for us to reconnect with existing customers and to meet new partners and growers who are exploring automation for their operations.
If you would like to exchange thoughts on automation, propagation and practical challenges in daily production, you are very welcome to meet us in Berlin. When you contact us in advance, we can also provide you with a free ticket for Fruit Logistica, so you do not have to purchase one yourself.
We look forward to seeing familiar faces and making new connections at Fruit Logistica.
