Gearbox positioning

Work smart every day

We make work smart every day. We are the systems partner that makes growers’, breeders’, and packers’ work measurable, learnable, and improvable. Our modular systems combine robotics, vision AI, and data to take over repetitive checks and heavy handling. Clients get objective quality control, fewer labor hours, less giveaway, and smoother lines... and the insights to make better business decisions every day. The intelligence is the foundation, the core of our smart software and the invisible layer to take the next step in the future of horticulture. And the best part? You can start today!

What sets us apart

Full-stack capability | We build and integrate hardware and software because consistent quality starts with the right picture at the right moment.
Proof before promises | Systems go live fast, run in parallel, and show measurable results (FTE reduction, claim reduction, throughput gains) before full rollout.
Decision ready data | We don’t stop at measurement. We help clients understand what it means, from daily output to seasonal planning and profit margins.
Grower-language partnerships | We grew up in this industry. We show up, install over weekends if required, and speak the language of the greenhouse and warehousefloor

Purpose

Take the pressure off people. Put the intelligence in the process. Work smart every day.

Greenhouse and warehouse work runs on thousands of seemingly small decisions: which pepper is A-grade, which box meets spec, what to ship first. It demands focus that’s hard to sustain for eight hours and training that takes months to master. Even the best hands differ in judgment... what looks perfect to one picker may fall short for another.

Our orange-cornered solutions see, measure, and decide with precision. They bring the sharp eye of experience into every shift - capturing, grading, and improving with consistency that people can rely on. So growers, breeders and packers can manage the business instead of firefighting the line. Born in Westland, built for the world. We learned in Dutch greenhouses and warehouses, where standards are high, talk is direct, and results speak for themselves. That mindset shaped how we build: practical, honest, and focused on impact.

About Gearbox

How it all began

Gearbox was founded in 2016 based on the conviction that daily work in greenhouse horticulture could be made smarter and easier. The technology is ready, and the sector will only remain future-proof if technology is actually integrated into daily processes, in the greenhouses and in the DCs. Gearbox has therefore started with accessible solutions using smart cameras and AI, which simplify, improve and speed up work.
