How artificial intelligence enables greenhouses to streamline operations
The AI technology reduced errors in estimating weekly tomato yields by 50% at the start.
New results from Motorleaf, Canada, demonstrate how greenhouses can automate important tasks using artificial intelligence (AI).
SunSelect Produce, a Canada-based vegetables processor, implemented Motorleaf’s AI technology at a 70-acre greenhouse in California. The AI technology reduced errors in estimating weekly tomato yields by 50% at the start, and one year later, showed a 72% reduction in error. Such precision enabled the company to fully automate harvest forecasting, saving each member of the grow team a day and a half of work each week, according to Victor Krahn, co-owner of SunSelect Produce.
