Gearbox is the partner of choice for the development and integration of high-tech solutions using AI and robotics. Gearbox provides the digital employees of the future: solutions for quality assessment, phenotyping and sorting. They help growers, breeders and traders work smarter and more data-driven every day.
Simone Keijzer, CEO of Gearbox:
“DV Automation's expertise is a great addition to our current specialisms in AI and robotics, which we currently apply mainly in vegetable cultivation and floriculture. By joining forces, we can better serve the needs of the pot plant market and, with our team and existing partners, integrate high-tech solutions more smoothly into existing systems.”
DV Automation has been a specialist in the pot plant market for over 25 years, with extensive experience in systems for orchids, kalanchoe and anthuriums, among others. As a system integrator, DV Automation automates and optimises complete processes, from mechanical engineering and machine construction to vision technology and software integrations. In doing so, they help growers to save labour costs and make processes more efficient and reliable.
This strategic move will enable both companies, as system integrators, to serve many more customers in the pot plant sector in the areas of vision solutions, operating systems, AI and robotics. As this step is preceded by many years of collaboration, it will be possible to respond quickly to market needs.
This collaboration allows our expertise to complement each other seamlessly: DVA's experience in pot plants and Gearbox's innovative technology, which has already proven itself in vegetables and cut flowers, reinforce each other. Together, we offer growers in the pot plant sector innovative, scalable and practical solutions, with customer satisfaction as our top priority. Marcel: "We both speak the grower's language and know what's going on, which means we can respond much more quickly together. With our shared passion for technology and innovation, we see enormous opportunities for the future of the pot plant sector."
The collaboration will take shape from the joint office in Berkel en Rodenrijs.
