“Twenty growers, twenty opinions” and how autonomous steering brings them together
In a recent interview, Arie van der Giessen shared a candid view on the realities of modern greenhouse growing. With decades of experience across international, large-scale operations, he has worked with multiple teams, crops and locations. That breadth of experience gives him a clear perspective on one of the industry’s biggest challenges today: managing increasing complexity while maintaining consistency.

The importance and logic for autonomous climate & irrigation control in Mexico
In this interview, Manuel Valdes explains why irrigation has become a high-pressure daily challenge, and why autonomous climate & irrigation control is a logical next step.

Autonomous growing brings peace of mind and clarity for French grower Benoît Musset
French grower Benoît Musset shares how autonomous climate and irrigation control transformed his daily work at SCEA la Plaine. After taking over the company from his father, he looked for ways to work more efficiently and reduce the constant pressure of climate decisions. With Crop Controller he now spends less time behind the computer.

8 reasons why other greenhouse leaders started with autonomous growing
Growers and greenhouse owners are increasingly searching for solutions that help them stay in control as complexity continues to rise. They want solutions and technologies that keep operations stable, make daily decisions clearer, and turn the growing stream of greenhouse data into practical actions they can trust.

How Finka benefited from scaling up Crop Controller across nine greenhouses
Recently, Finka, a Mexico-based specialist in greenhouse grown tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers, scaled their operations with Crop Controller across nine greenhouses, reaching the maximum available hectares. Grower Humberto Rojas explains why scaling up was the logical next step.

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.

‘The perfect balance between people and AI at Árpád’
Hungarian tomato and pepper grower Árpád-Agrár began working with Crop Controller from Blue Radix a year ago. We explore his experiences and also highlight the perspective of János Lóczi (right), President at Gremon Systems, on how they support Árpád in their Autonomous Growing journey.

Autonomous solution Crop Controller gives growers a clear advantage
Ronald Hoek, CEO of Blue Radix and one of the 3 co-founders, explains the rapid development of the company and its applications in an interview with Fruchthandel Magazin.

Press Release | Blue Radix 2026 Agribusiness Award finalist
Blue Radix is very proud of our nomination for the Dutch 2026 Agribusiness Award. This recognition underscores the growing importance of autonomous control in greenhouse horticulture.

Grower Perspectives: How personal support and AI drive real-world success
For many growers, moving toward Autonomous Climate & Irrigation Control by Crop Controller is more than a technological upgrade. In that transition, the support of the Autonomous Greenhouse Managers (AGM) play an essential role.

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.

Seeing is believing: how growers take the first step towards autonomous control
A six-month trial with Crop Controller gives you a practical introduction to AI-powered climate and irrigation steering, whilst being supported by an Autonomous Greenhouse Manager. During the trial, you’ll see how the system turns data and forecasts into proactive actions, maintaining consistency without repetitive manual work.
