Description

Radix, Building 107

In agriculture, horticulture and forestry, many tasks are still performed by hand, one of which is harvesting. Many people are needed for this labour-intensive job, which has a number of disadvantages, such as: high labour costs, regular training of new employees and accommodation of workers from abroad. Robotisation of harvesting tasks, among others, can solve these problems: in the long run, robotic harvesting is cheaper. The excursion will also include a visit to the prototype setup of the Pick'nPack project
