Automatic horticulture handling system

The tomato handling system is a system that is used to automate the weighing, packaging and transporting of tomatoes. Depending on what type of tomato the grower cultivates (tomatoes on the vine / beef tomatoes / specialities), the automation can differ. There are different degrees of automation: The automation can start in the greenhouse, or it can start in the packing hall. Fully automated: the tomato handling system operates in combination with the Qii-Drive Tomato or the Power Bee AGV which pulls the Bo Cart harvesting carts. They drive automatically to and from the tomato handling system, guided by an induction course. Semi-automated: the tomato handling system operates in combination with a hand-operated Power Bee which pulls the Bo Cart harvesting carts. In this case, there will be a few metres of pipe rail in front of the pusher unit to guide the harvesting carts into the correct position. A tomato handling system is modular, always custom made: depending on the needs/desires of the customer and the available space in the packing hall. Together with the customer, Bogaerts greenhouse logistics always finds the best solution.
