Robotic Greenhouse Vegetable Harvester
Revolutionize harvesting with our robotic system for cucumbers and bell peppers. Its patent-pending stem-finding tool and vision-based sensors pick fruit safely and efficiently, even when stems are hidden. For bell peppers, it also maps harvests and predicts yields, helping growers save time and maximize production.
Vineland is seeking a collaborator for licensing or research collaboration to productize, manufacture, market, sell and service Vineland’s robotic greenhouse vegetable harvesting solution globally.

Background
As labour costs rise and labour availability declines, automated harvesting has become a critical need for modern greenhouse growers. Our system was developed to address these challenges, combining robotics, advanced sensing, and real-time computing to safely and efficiently harvest cucumbers and bell peppers while providing actionable data to optimise yields and operations.
