hexafarms — Products & Services

Fruit Attraction | Exhibitor Product Overview

Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and active from the Nordics to Latin America, hexafarms makes professional horticulture more predictable, more efficient and more resilient.

Commercial growers leave up to 30% of their potential on the table every season — through sub-optimal control of growing conditions, inaccurate harvest forecasts, and pest and disease caught too late. hexafarms closes all three gaps with one integrated platform. Each module works on its own; together they form an operating system for the greenhouse, poly tunnel and open field growing.

1. Sensing

Know what is actually happening in your crop — right now.

Yield is rarely lost to catastrophic failure. It is lost to small deviations that accumulate over a growing cycle: a VPD drift, a missed irrigation shot, a pH value that quietly locked out iron. hexafarms replaces intuition and end-of-day checks with continuous, lab-calibrated measurement.

Self-charging wireless AgNodes cover air (CO₂, temperature, humidity, pressure), water (EC, pH, temperature, flow in and out for drainage percentage) and substrate, wind and light. Readings every 5 minutes, synced every 30. No gateway, no central station, no implementation project.

Precision — lab-calibrated to ±2%, engineered in Germany, purpose-built for agriculture indoors and outdoors
Ease of use — turn it on Monday, see your data Tuesday
Proven impact — up to +25% yield and up to −38% less water waste versus manual operation (ranges across peer-reviewed studies)

2. Yield Forecasting

Commit with confidence. Plan with precision.

Commit 50 tons, deliver 45, and the cost is never just the missing volume — it is the buyer relationship, the labour planned for a harvest that did not arrive, the packaging and logistics sized against numbers that did not hold.

4-Week Harvest Forecast — rolling volume prediction per crop and zone, always reported with a confidence interval, never as a single number
Harvest Strategy Simulator — simulate picking cadence, area percentage and ripeness stage live against your own forecast
Cooperative View — aggregated forecasts across members for central sales planning

The model learns from your plants, not from averages: over 70 parameters — fruit and flower counts, growth stages, climate, biomarkers — validated live against your crop, this week, in this growing location. Built on plant biology, not on Growing Degree Days.

3. Robot-Powered Pest & Disease Detection

Early detection. Targeted intervention. Less loss, less labour.

Growers accept 10 to 15% yield loss to pest and disease in a normal year — and 30 to 50% or more when an outbreak escalates. This is not a crop management problem. It is an information problem.

Autonomous rolling robots move through the crop at 1 metre per second, each covering roughly 2 hectares — every row, every day, with 360-degree coverage no scout can match. No rails, no greenhouse construction.

Trained on tomato, pepper, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, targeting powdery mildew, Botrytis, leaf mold, Tuta absoluta, leaf miner and trap-based thrips monitoring. Cross-referenced with your sensing history, the system moves from detecting outbreaks to anticipating them.

Technology. API-first, integrates with climate computers (Priva, Hoogendoorn, Ridder) and ERP systems. Hardware engineered in Germany, manufactured in Europe. Wireless throughout.

Commercial model. OpEx only — no upfront investment, no SIM or gateway fees, no mandatory service contracts. Start with a single zone and scale on your own timing.

Markets. European Union, the Nordics, Tunisia and Latin America — individual growers, large commercial operations and producer cooperatives.

Meet us at Fruit Attraction to see the platform live: the six-week forecast with confidence intervals, the harvest strategy simulator, and how sensing and robotics come together in the greenhouse, poly tunnel and open field growing.
