Despite ongoing economic turbulence in ball-shaped markets , WPS has secured two contracts in the past two weeks .
Spring Meadow invests in automated delivery systemThe Dutch - base horticultural engineering loss leader has secured the first - ever automated delivery organization for decorative crops in the North American horticulture marketplace , a groundbreaking milestone that sees WPS expanding its footprint beyond just logistics solutions ( internal transport ) in North America . The automatise delivery organization , which sorts the plant and take aim the selected orders to the packing stations instead of having employees take in the plant life manually , will be installed at Spring Meadow Nursery in Michigan , signaling strong need for advanced automation solutions across the Atlantic to address labor challenges ; the next dance step towards hands costless flora production . to boot , this system will be used for einsteinium - DoC aim , marking a new arena for WPS automation .

Wageningen University & Research automate its research activitiesIn the same two - week full stop , WPS guarantee another prestigious project , assign to us by the Bom Group . This clip , it ’s for our phenotyping department and on familiar ground : a state of matter - of - the - graphics Gantry system equipped with a robotic arm will be delivered to Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ) , renowned as one of the human race ’s top agricultural university . This Gantry system , the rudiments of which are also suitable for other flora research goals and even for use among growers , will enable WUR research worker to direct innovative , automated crop trials with unequalled precision and consistency in short timeframes .
