Meet Ron van der Hengst, the visionary owner of South Central Growers in Tennessee, USA, who recently made a groundbreaking investment in WPS conveyor belts. During a visit from Digna van Zanten, the CEO of WPS, they discussed the driving force behind this decision – the need to make horticultural businesses attractive for the next generation through automation.

WPS’ Edwin Dijkshoorn explains how the company helps growers automate their operations.
The Boyce Thompson Institute, located on the Cornell University campus in Ithaca New York, recently purchased an Automated Phenotyping Platform from WPS. The platform will be used to control a wide range of plant experiments, completely automatic. By expanding its facilities with this system, BTI takes another step in pursuing its goals of “increasing food security, improving environmental sustainability in agriculture and making basic discoveries that will enhance human health.”
