System

Rolling bench system with 2D-Shuttles

Surface

3 hectares

The extension houses approximately 600 rolling benches each measuring 5.680 mm x 1.650 mm and is also fitted with water feed points and drain gutters for ebb-flow irrigation.

The new benches are all fitted with high-durability plastic ebb-flow liners.
The doubling of the growing surface also doubles the average distance a bench travels during production.

This growth in surface and distance in turn increases the required transport capacity by four times.

In order to achieve this capacity increase, Bayview Flowers chose to fit the new greenhouse with a fully automatic bench system.

The choice was also made to upgrade the existing logistics system from a partially manual bench system to a fully automatic system.

The existing logistics system was also build and delivered by Logiqs more than 15 years ago and proved to be an ideal candidate for the automation upgrade. This large scale automation was done by installing two of our innovative 2D-Shuttles and A-Track Automatic transport lines.

The two 2D-Shuttles can fully automate the entire growing surface of around 12.000 m2 at a much lower investment cost than conventional push-pull systems.

The existing transport lines remain in place, but are fitted with automatic drive units that connect them with the new transport line bringing the entire system together.

This project once again showcases the modularity and flexibility of our unique 2D-Shuttle solution and is the first 2D-Shuttle system implemented in North America.

After sales services

Logiqs has its own experienced installation and service team based in the Netherlands, but also collaborates with reliable service engineer teams in several countries so as to prevent unnecessary installation or maintenance costs.

Our customers can always rely on prompt and efficient attention for routine maintenance, breakdown or emergency situations.

Routine preventative maintenance can be tailored to the customer’s choice, with service intervals to suit the specific needs of the logistical system.
