Organifarms
Organifarms develops BERRY, an autonomous strawberry-harvesting robot for controlled greenhouse environments that uses AI image recognition and robotic-arm control to detect ripeness and fruit quality, cut stems, and deposit berries into punnets, operating 24/7. The robot completed its first full harvesting season in January 2023, and an EBZ Group investment announcement in November 2023 confirmed that BERRY robots were already in use by customers at that time. Organifarms' software stack combines machine learning, algorithmic controls, and computer vision for end-to-end harvest automation. The company is based in Konstanz, Germany, and received strategic investment from greenhouse automation specialist EBZ Group.
