For years they have been one of the most recognizable elements of our customers' logistic systems in pot plant cultivation: the woven transport belts. They are the way to transport plants over long distances and the basis of many plant buffer systems. Yet there are still elements that can be improved on such an apparently simple product. Weaving and choice of material are determinants for e.g. stretch, wear and tear and straight running of a belt.
Hoogeveen Plants, growers of shrubs, small trees and grasses, in Hazerswoude-Dorp the Netherlands is going to implement a WPS SmartFlo system at one of their locations. SmartFlo will be used to move plants into the growing areas as well as consolidating growing space and getting plants to the shipping departments. A key requirement was: to be as flexible as possible with use of the systems and being able to do various routes through the growing area. But being able to save labor was Hoogeveen Plants’ main requirement.
