Case Study: Westburg Greenhouse achieves 24/7 tomato harvesting and lower labor costs with Four Growers’ FANUC-powered robots

Westburg Greenhouse automates tomato harvesting in 1 week with FANUC

Westburg Greenhouse, a commercial grower in the Netherlands, faced rising labor costs and needed a scalable solution to automate tomato harvesting while maintaining quality and efficiency. To address these challenges, they partnered with FANUC America Corporation and adopted the GR-200 robotic harvesting platform powered by FANUC's LR Mate 200iD/7L robot.

The solution, implemented by FANUC America Corporation's system integrator Four Growers, used AI-driven vision and motion planning to precisely identify and harvest ripe tomatoes around the clock. This resulted in significant labor savings, operational robots within one week of deployment, and a more productive harvesting process that freed staff for other tasks. This marked a major step in future-proofing their greenhouse operations.
