GRoW is the world’s first commercialised two-armed harvesting robot. This robotic platform harvests tomatoes on the vine and provides a complete solution to labour problems in the horticultural industry, from harvesting to packaging.

With its two arms, GRoW can harvest on both sides of the row in a greenhouse, making robotic harvesting faster than ever and taking a major step towards automated harvesting. GRoW deposits the harvested bunches in standard-sized reusable crates that can be easily integrated into existing production procedures. Once full, the crates are automatically stacked and packed on the GRoW-Assist, the GRoW-pulled harvesting cart.

GRoW’s AI-driven 3D vision capabilities provide high-resolution colour images for successful harvesting and provide detailed crop data for ongoing analysis. Thanks to our advanced algorithm, GRoW gets smarter with every cut.

GRoW doesn’t just detect clusters: it analyses the entire environment in order to map and remember obstacles. Ripeness is assessed on a 12-color scale, with several programmes available for different varieties.

With built-in wireless communication, GRoW is always active and accessible via the cloud, providing real-time data collection and analysis for better crop management, as well as 24/7 service and support.
