Advanced production and research module for efficient cultivation at Rijk Zwaan

Four custom-designed climate chambers with a centrally controlled system for full control over all cultivation factors.

Rijk Zwaan was looking for an efficient solution for their propagation and research activities that would combine maximum production capacity with precise climate control. The challenge was to realize one large-scale climate cell with four large racks that functions optimally for various applications, such as propagation and useful plant tests. Green Simplicity developed a production and research module with a stand-alone cooling system and integrated software for full control over the cultivation process.

Rijk Zwaan's request

Rijk Zwaan needed a production-efficient solution for their activities in De Vesting. With one climate cell equipped with four large racks, they wanted to optimize their cultivation capacity and at the same time be able to perform research and useful plant tests. The system had to function independently and be fully integrated with their existing processes.

About Rijk Zwaan

Rijk Zwaan is an international seed breeder and world market leader in the development of vegetable seeds. Their location De Vesting plays a crucial role in their research and breeding programs where new varieties are developed and tested for commercial application.

The solution:

Green Simplicity realised an advanced production and research module consisting of one climate cell with four large racks. The stand-alone cooling system works completely independently and is equipped with Green Simplicity software that seamlessly integrates with Rijk Zwaan's existing systems. This setup offers optimal use of space and maximum flexibility for both cultivation activities and conducting research and plant tests.

Result

Rijk Zwaan benefits from the desired combination of high production capacity and extensive research possibilities. The stand-alone system ensures reliable performance, while the user-friendly software integration ensures seamless connection to their existing work processes. The four large racks make optimal use of the available space and increase the efficiency of both cultivation and research activities.

"Green Simplicity's central system gives us the control we need for our research. The ability to control all parameters via one platform makes our work much more efficient."
