For many growers, moving toward Autonomous Climate & Irrigation Control by Crop Controller is more than a technological upgrade. It reshapes how decisions are made, how strategies are executed, and how daily routines are organized. In that transition, the support of the Autonomous Greenhouse Managers (AGM) play an essential role. Blue Radix combines AI technology, personal guidance, and crop expertise within one service, and that’s what truly sets us apart.
Growers describe this support as the key to adopting autonomy with confidence. Geert van der Wel, one of the four AGMs at Blue Radix, captures it well: “We work together and guide growers toward autonomous control with an approach that feels like on-the-job training: practical, personal, and step by step.” Keep reading to discover what growers themselves say about the value of that support.
Eduardo Ordaz, Agrigar
“It was really new for me, and I didn’t really know what to expect. In the beginning I had quite a lot of questions and I was afraid that I would do something wrong. But Blue Radix gave me good support and pointed out the things I should pay attention to. This guidance is very valuable, because you know that someone with a lot of knowledge and experience is watching over your shoulder. As a result, I started to trust the system more and more and noticed that very little can actually go wrong.”
John Giesbrecht, JPI
“I received all the support from Blue Radix, which made it comfortable for me to work with Crop Controller. Every week we have a video call with our Autonomous Greenhouse Manager to catch up and if something comes up I can quickly and easily send a text message to solve things. Knowing that you are not alone gives you a lot of peace.”
Toby Wright, Tom d’Aqui
“At first, I didn’t think I needed Crop Controller. But once we started, I realized how much time it saves and how consistent the climate stays. The AGM explained everything clearly and was always available when I had questions. That made the transition easy and gave me confidence to trust the system.”
Frank Neufeld, Lebo Farms
“They assured us that Crop Controller would lead to energy savings, and it did. The reduction in costs has been substantial, making the cost worthwhile and reinforcing our trust in autonomous growing technology.”
“The support Blue Radix provides is incredibly good. The response time is crucial. Blue Radix excels at that. Usually, he has already spotted the complication before I do, and the team of Blue Radix is already offering a solution. It’s really reassuring to know that they’re always looking out for you and thinking along with you.”
Across all these experiences, one pattern stands out: growers adopt autonomy sooner because they trust the involvement, clarity and expertise of their AGM. As Geert says: “Because people know we can always provide support, Crop Controller users gain more confidence. That gives many people the final push.”
Autonomous control delivers performance. But growers tell us that its true value emerges when that performance is paired with clarity, expertise, and continuity. That is what our AGMs bring: context when decisions matter, certainty when conditions shift, and consistent alignment with the grower’s strategy. Their involvement turns autonomous control from technological capability into a dependable, strategic way of running a greenhouse.
This creates a new daily reality: a crop strategy that is executed consistently, supported by experts who interpret, anticipate, and help growers move forward with confidence. The result is more stability, more focus, and more space to work on what truly drives value. Autonomy works, and with the support of our AGMs, it has become a robust, scalable foundation for every greenhouse operation.
