IFR Highlights Collaborative Robot Deployment at Danish Greenhouse

IFR reported that Rosborg Food Holding is working to automate monotonous and physically demanding tasks, aiming to ease the burden on employees and reduce overtime and temporary hiring. The company’s greenhouse covers about 120,000 square meters and employs 130 people to produce herbs and miniature roses.

For greenhouse operators, the goal of automation is not simply to increase production, but to replace monotonous and physically demanding tasks with robots and reduce the burden on employees, overtime and temporary hiring. The case at a large greenhouse producing herbs and miniature roses offers a reference point for horticultural businesses considering which tasks to automate first.
