Autonomous Control with Personal Support
Working with AI is new for many growers and sometimes requires an adjustment in their working methods. That’s why support from an expert – especially during the start-up phase – is essential to navigate the world of autonomous climate and irrigation control. The Autonomous Greenhouse Managers at Blue Radix provide that support. “We combine AI technology, personal guidance, and crop expertise within one service, and that’s what truly sets us apart.”
AI Meets Agriculture: Ridder & Blue Radix Inspire Growers in Mexico
Recently, Ridder and Blue Radix hosted an exclusive breakfast seminar in the Mexican city of Querétaro, bringing together a select group of greenhouse growers and industry professionals to explore the power of autonomous technology in horticulture.
The morning was filled with insights on how AI is already helping Mexican growers tackle labor shortages, save resources such as water, energy, fertilizer and labor, while growing more consistently. With Ridder’s smart greenhouse solutions and Blue Radix’s autonomous Climate and Irrigation Control, attendees saw firsthand how innovation is driving real results.

Coming soon: an Integrated Knowledge Hub built into Crop Controller
Whether you want to train new staff, explore specific Crop Controller actions, or simply refresh your own understanding, the Knowledge Hub is there to help — right when and where you need it.
The valley discovers the added value of autonomous growing
For a long time, cultivation manager Martijn van der Giessen of The Valley thought that Autonomous Growing was only something for growers outside the Netherlands. But since his introduction to Crop Controller from Blue Radix, he knows better. Although he is still discovering the system, his confidence has grown rapidly. “With Crop Controller, I have more time for other important things in the greenhouse.”
Autonomous Growing: a new and better way of being in control
Letting go of control is never easy—especially when it comes to something as critical as growing crops. For growers, every decision, might feel personal, a result of years of experience and intuition. The idea of handing over these decisions to AI technology might feel like taking a leap into the unknown. Yet, as the CEA industry evolves, more and more growers are discovering the benefits of autonomous growing. By taking over the execution of repetitive daily greenhouse tasks like steering the climate computer, growers optimize operations, increase yields, and free up valuable time. Allowing them to focus on other strategic decisions and enjoy a better work-life balance.
BLAD | The future is AI
The increasing shortage of experienced growers is forcing greenhouse horticulture to consider alternatives so it can keep growing. One of the solutions is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Specialist, Blue Radix is offering an advanced system for this: Crop Controller. A joint investment from Horticoop and investment fund Navus Ventures will enable the autonomous cultivation pioneer to have global impact with its Al greenhouse applications. CEO Ronald Hoek: ‘More and more growers are starting to understand the power of and need for Al.’
