GRoW

MetoMotion Ltd · Israel

Israeli dual-arm greenhouse robot that harvests vine tomatoes on pipe-rail systems using an AI 3D vision system, developed with Dutch greenhouse-tech partner Ridder. Running in Dutch greenhouses — validated at grower Lans in the 2025 NPPL-R trial by Wageningen UR (up to ~90% of eligible vines harvested, operator supervision still required) and picking ToBRFV-resistant varieties at Axia Vegetable Seeds' demo greenhouse.

Available in: Netherlands

At a glance

Best for

Large Dutch-style vine-tomato greenhouses on pipe rails wanting to automate harvest labour, with tolerance for a validation-stage machine that needs supervision and a crop structure adapted to robotic picking.

Avoid if

You need a fully unsupervised harvester with published pricing and throughput today — WUR found harvest success highly dependent on crop structure and cultivation strategy.

Not suitable for

Field vegetables, beefsteak-only operations not on pipe rails, small greenhouses; crops other than greenhouse tomatoes.
