Cultivating lettuce and herbs with automated Cultivation Systems
More efficient logistics, higher yields
Cultivation of crops in automated cultivation systems
The agricultural sector is facing growing global challenges. Climate change, population growth, and the decline of arable land are putting increasing pressure on traditional cultivation methods. At the same time, the demand for more sustainable and efficient food production continues to rise.
This calls for innovative, future-proof solutions. One promising development is the cultivation of crops in automated container systems. This method enables controlled, scalable, and environmentally friendly food production.
Crops such as lettuce, herbs, and leafy greens benefit from optimized growing conditions and efficient logistics, resulting in higher yields with minimal water usage.
The Foundation for Hydroponic Cultivation
Our hydroponic growing system consists of aluminum containers with custom-designed plastic bottoms, ensuring optimal irrigation and air circulation. Automated variants use durable roller conveyors, while manual systems glide smoothly over pipes. This creates an efficient and stable growing environment.
Bosman Van Zaal’s automated containers provide an ideal foundation for hydroponic cultivation – ranging from fully automated, multi-layer installations to simpler, mechanically assisted systems.
Plants without hands
Bosman Van Zaal has developed a cutting-edge automated container system that combines the benefits of hydroponic cultivation with advanced automation and flexible growing capabilities. This system utilizes mobile containers and innovative trays, enabling plants to be cultivated under ideal conditions and at maximum plant density throughout their entire growth cycle.
The advanced logistical infrastructure ensures that every cultivation stage – from sowing to harvesting – runs smoothly without manual intervention. This results in increased productivity and consistent crop quality, which is essential for today’s food industry. The automated container system is suitable for use in both traditional single-layer greenhouses and vertical farms.
