The system will give Sjaak van Schie more flexibility and overview of their delivery process. But also help them reduce labor.

Danish grower PKM is investing in efficiency and stability

Danish company Gartneriet PKM, one of the market leaders in the production of Campanula, is investing in efficiency and stability. PKM aims to reduce labour, improve response times to the market, and create a more stable working environment. In collaboration with WPS, the company developed a delivery system that meets all these requirements, and which is in operation since the beginning of 2017.

At the end of the production process in a greenhouse, plants are packed and transported to the customers. Before that moment, plants bridge a considerable distance in an internal logistics system. Every grower of course knows which route his plants take in his system, but what no one knows is exactly how beautiful the view of a plant is during the transportation process.
