RFID-Enabled Greenhouses

One of Holland’s leading systems providers for greenhouse botanical growers, has successfully implemented RFID technology into its Plant Order System for commercial greenhouses. Walking Plant Systems can now optimize the months-long greenhouse growing process y tracking and tracing plants with RFID tags.

With a combination of RFID and photography, Zetes’ software ensures individual plants receive specialized care; the tag identifies the plant itself and Zetes’ imaging software infers plant health from its relative shape. More specifically, if a plant appears to need more nutrients, the system can send that plant to the corresponding section of the greenhouse. RFID thus enables full automation and optimization of the growing process, thereby saving growers unprecedented resources in the production of this high-value asset.
