Saia Agrobotics' AUTOFARM EIC Accelerator project brings a disruptive and novel automated way of operating greenhouses to the market, applying a revolutionary new growing system that unlocks plant mobility for optimal use of robotisation and artificial intelligence.
World-wide, the high-tech indoor farm sector is expanding from 60k hectares to 80k in 2025. This growth is triggered by the societal need for climate-resilient food production, the fast growing market demand for fresh food and the economic need for greater resource use efficiency. To enable this growth, many high-tech indoor farming processes have been standardised and optimised, but the automation of labour availability and crop management is lagging behind.
SAIA introduces through AUTOFARM a paradigm shift towards a food factory of the future where 50% of the labour is automated and crop management is supported by data mining and artificial intelligence. SAIA’s novel plant system enables year-round steady production which allows for up to 30% more yield.
The overarching impact of AUTOFARM extends beyond productivity gains, promising a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future that aligns with societal, economic, and environmental imperatives.
AUTOFARM pioneers the integration of cutting-edge technologies in greenhouse farming, unlocking plant mobility for improved labour efficiency. Saia Agrobotics' innovation empowers farmers with data-driven insights, redefining possibilities for efficient, year-round, and high-yield food production. In a world urgently seeking food security and sustainable practices, AUTOFARM emerges as an innovation beacon, shaping an era where technology and agriculture converge to address global challenges.
