Blue Radix | Your digital brain for growth

Blue Radix is the specialist and market leader in Autonomous Growing. Blue Radix creates automated intelligence for almost all daily decisions and actions in greenhouses. With the continuous growth of the world population, the need for healthy food is increasing. The greenhouse horticulture business is currently scaling up on a global level. But this scale up cannot be achieved due to a lack of crop experts. Blue Radix offers solutions for these worldwide challenges: the algorithm-based services empower growers with a digital brain for their greenhouse. Growers are able to optimize and realize their unique crop strategy with AI. The greenhouse data which is used by Crop Controller is and always remains the property of the grower. Blue Radix never shares any data with others. This way the grower is the only one that benefits from its value. Growers can manage up to 4 times more hectares and strengthen their competitive position in the market. More about Blue Radix

Growers embrace Autonomous growing: 

“Crop Controller is aware of our goals and strategy. It optimizes the settings of the climate computer controls continuously and autonomously, and within the specified bandwidth we have determined beforehand. I no longer have to analyze all the data and set the climate computers manually.”

Five successful crops were delivered, in some cases with a better cultivation result than achieved by the growers who implemented classic climate control. Fast forward to 2023. We are now five years further. Time moves fast. What happened during that time, and what did we learn about Autonomous Growing within Blue Radix? We would like to share these five lessons!
