GR-100 vs BERRY
Two harvesting machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
Pittsburgh-built autonomous greenhouse tomato harvester running the first operational robot fleets in Dutch greenhouses — snack, plum and cherry tomatoes picked by suction with stereo vision at up to 43 kg/h and 98% ripe-detection precision. Fits existing commercial greenhouses with minimal modification; used by grower Westburg and at Syngenta's TomatoVision research facility.
Best for: Large glasshouse tomato operations in the Netherlands or US wanting fleet harvesting of snack/cherry tomatoes plus per-row yield heatmaps and forecasting.German greenhouse strawberry harvesting robot from Konstanz-based Organifarms — detects ripeness with image recognition, cuts fruit at the stem without touching it, and packs directly into store-ready punnets with onboard weighing. Navigates greenhouse pipe rails autonomously and swaps crates itself, running 24/7 on batteries.
Best for: Greenhouse and vertical-farm strawberry growers in the DACH region wanting a picking robot that also handles quality grading and punnet packing in one pass.| GR-100 Verified 2026-07-17 | BERRY Verified 2026-07-17 | |
