Netherlands: Logiqs builds logistical system at Vijverberg nursery

A family run nursery going back 3 generations, the Piet Vijverberg Nursery is internationally known for its cultivation techniques and potted plants. The nursery now has more than 75,000 m² of greenhouse space where they grow Phalaenopsis and Dracaena.

Piet and Sander Vijverberg contracted Logiqs to design and build the logistical system for their new greenhouse. The new 9,600 m² greenhouse which is already being built, will be used for the cultivation of Phalaenopsis.

As part of the project, Logiqs will be extending the tracks of the existing Automatic transport vehicle found in the main greenhouse to the new building, joining the two logistical systems. After this extension the ATV will have a driving rail that’s almost 0.5 km long.

The Rolling bench system in the new greenhouse will also feature cable-pull (retrieval) systems for each bench row for full automation. The new growing surface will also be integrated into the existing Dat-A-Control setup for a full integration with the existing greenhouse.
