Breeding solutions

Viscon provides plant propagation systems and automation solutions for plant breeders. We offer a reliable, scalable and safe way to help you select and develop the best starting material.

Our system is one of the cleanest production methods available. Plants grow in LED trolleys in climate-controlled chambers. The semi-perforated cultivation consumables preclude the spreading of diseases. In addition, we aim to automate every step in the breeding and young plant stage.

Young plant automation

Viscon Plant Technology provides turnkey solutions for automating any young plant production process. We design and manufacture our machines from stand-alone units to complete production lines to automate all labor-intensive processes.

We offer fully automated production lines with filling, seeding, (de)stacking, transplanting, watering and vision grading machines. Our logistic handling systems, potted plant transportation, soil handling, irrigation systems and track & trace delivery systems create the optimal flow in your nursery.

Rockwool Automation

Rockwool blocks are used for the cultivation of various vegetable plants. We provide automation solutions for rockwool planting lines including watering, seeding, planting, covering, and transporting of the rockwool blocks. These operations can all be carried out automatically using our universal planting line.
