In an era marked by climate instability, labor shortages, and increasing demand for food, greenhouse growers need to rethink how food is produced. Traditional cultivation methods are labor-intensive, resource-heavy, and vulnerable to external weather conditions.

For modern growers like Gartneriet Rosborg in Denmark, the challenge was clear: build a fully automated, high-efficiency production system that ensures consistent crop output, low operational costs, and long-term resilience.

Between 2016 and 2019, we installed several hectares of Moving Gutter Systems at Gartneriet Rosborg in Bellinge, Denmark — a forward-thinking greenhouse grower known for embracing innovation.

This large-scale solution integrates:

• Automated sowing

• Bench-based early plant care

• Robotic transplantation into mobile gutters

• Automated gutter movement through cultivation zones

Our Moving Gutter System ensures that plants are automatically spaced and moved throughout the growing process, maximizing greenhouse efficiency while minimizing manual handling.

The system offers:

• Low water consumption and zero contamination

• Labor cost reductions through end-to-end automation

• Flexible scaling of production without compromising crop quality

With Viemose DGS’ Moving Gutter System, Gartneriet Rosborg has achieved:

• Fully automated plant production from seed to harvest

• Higher yields and crop consistency through precise climate and spacing control

• Significantly lower operating costs thanks to reduced labor needs

• Greater food security, with crops protected from external climate impacts

This project demonstrates how advanced automation in horticulture not only enhances competitiveness, but also supports climate-resilient, resource-efficient, and scalable food systems — crucial for an efficient agricultural future.
