Demo-harvesting robot at Tomatoworld, providing the latest updates and cost simulations
The purpose of launching the demonstration at Tomatoworld is to allow more interested people to see the robot in operation. inaho wants to demonstrate the robot and receive more feedback from growers, in order to develop and increase the value of the robot. For those who come to Tomatoworld to see the robots, inaho will provide detailed specifications, functions, expected future updates of the robot and simulations to estimate the amount of human labour time reduced and the amount of cost savings, based on the results of the trials in Japan.

16% reduction in human working hours in field trials with growers in Japan
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 night time before humans do. Meanwhile, inaho also found that there are differences between Japanese and Dutch growers in terms of harvest and post-harvest operations, e.g. standards for picking appropriate color of the fruits and the frequency of harvesting. 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 to carry out a field trial of the harvesting robot.
