When delivering prime seed , it is very important that the client recognise what percentage of the seminal fluid give usable plants . Until latterly , this so - phone usable was determined manually . With the purchase of the GA - boxful from AgriData Innovations , that belong to the past . By automating the process , the useable is now even more reliable .
immanent human workPreviously , some seeds of a luck were sow . A few week subsequently , employees count the respectable plants in a tray . A labor - intensive job with a lot of way for subjectiveness . This summertime , we started using the GA - box from AgriData Innovations to automate the mental process .
Identically and objectiveHead of flora production René Janssen state : “ The counting was always human work , a subjective process . Because , how do you ensure everyone uses the same definition of ‘ available ’ ? Now , the assessment of every tray is entirely identical . The functional is always determined as fully accusative . That prepare us more reliable as a provider . ”
PracticeThe GA - box is easy to utilise . René slide a tray in , closes the flap and the simple machine takes a characterization . Just a here and now later , an trope of the tray full of flushed crosses and ruddy , orangish , and green circle appear on his silver screen . “ A cross intend an empty prison cell land a red circle is a plant the machine rejects . For the usable , the orangish and unripened circles numerate , which are plants that will grow out into a drinkable industrial plant . ”
CustomizedThe GA - box is made by AgriData Innovations . “ A starting - up that customized the machine to our wishing ” , state René . “ Cyclamen shoot out of the border of its culture cell . That is why the machine looks at the routine of leaves . ” And that is where the indispensability of employee comes around . “ At first , you have to overthink what kind of tray you put in the motorcar . A tray that is only half - ful or where there is a skunk , will not give a reliable resolution . Besides that , you have to go counting at the right bit in cultivation . If you are too late , the Cyclamen will have dual leave of absence . Of course , that affects your available . ”
Further developmentThe result for Cyclamen are entirely reliable . That mean work on further automation . “ We are now testing count for Primula acaulis ” , René says . “ We are well ahead with that . finally , the aim is to use the GA box for all product . The plant persist our start item , but we are run to exploit more and more data - repel . In that way , we can standardise and automate our yield unconscious process more which results in a more reliable remainder product . ”
