Vertical hydroponic tower harvesting system

This invention describes a system for harvesting plants from vertical hydroponic towers. It uses a motorized lift to move a harvester up and down the tower, cutting plant stalks and collecting the leaves as it goes. The system is specifically designed to be guided by features present on the hydroponic tower itself.

Why it matters: Since 2018, advancements in robotics, computer vision, and sensor technology have made automated agricultural tasks more precise and cost-effective. These improvements could significantly enhance the harvester's efficiency and adaptability for large-scale vertical farms.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateMotorized lift, cutting mechanism, plant collection, tower guides
