Objective
Computer driven Pick-and-Place units are today standart technology for stock management in wharehouses. For these applications the necessary power is taken from batteries.
In greenhouses the same technology can not be applied, mainly due to the 2-dimensional working field, i.e. long distances and many cross overs. A diesel driven electro-power-group gives the power resuired for such a pick-and-place unit but, bue to the confined working place the exhaust gases need to be pollution free. Hydrogen fuel brings the solution.
Both CES and GENTEC are experts in gas engines and gas injection systems, but expertise in hydrogen handling, storage abd safety is lacking. If succesfull Agrisystems B.V. the largest supplier of greenhouses in the Nederlands sees a rapid market penetration.
Applications in other segments suc as food industry and mining will be envisaged too. The requested support through CRAFT allows adaptation of existing gas engine technology to respond to specific problems in greenhouses and other confined environments and to conceive new opportunities for development of a new product, i.e. the hydrogen driven pick-and-place unit.
