Blue Radix launches autonomous control for strawberries worldwide
Following proven results in vegetable crops, Blue Radix announces the market introduction of autonomous control for strawberry greenhouse production with Crop Controller. With this expansion, strawberry growers worldwide gain access to one AI solution that addresses multiple greenhouse challenges simultaneously and supports more predictable and stable growing outcomes.
Crop Controller’s four modules explained in details
Managing greenhouse climate and irrigation is becoming increasingly complex. Higher energy prices, labor scarcity and sustainability expectations make manual steering less logical, every day. Each decision impacts crop development, energy and water use, and the workload on the grower’s entire team.
