Discover →At Viscon Group, we offer advanced sorting and transplanting solutions that combine robotics, vision systems, and AI to automate one of the most critical phases in plant development: selecting and transplanting only the healthiest, most viable plants. Our systems are designed to handle everything from micro-transplanting of Somatic Embryos to sorting and transplanting of larger, phenotyped young plants—ensuring uniformity, scalability, and plant quality.
Viscon’s marker-based transplanting systems are engineered to handle plant material ranging from the smallest embryos to larger plantlets cultivated in liquid or semi-solid media. Using custom-designed trays and robotic arms, these systems gently lift and transplant early-stage plants into fresh substrates without damaging roots or shoots—ensuring sterility and structural integrity throughout the process.
Depending on the specific needs of the breeding or propagation program, Viscon offers flexible data integration options: some transplanters operate based on phenotypic markers, while others like the PhytoFlow Transplanter combine genotype and phenotype characteristics—such as growth rate, morphology, or stress response—for more refined selection. This enables breeders and propagators to automate transplanting decisions based on their unique selection criteria, supporting both high-throughput screening and elite line development with precision and scalability.
Viscon integrates automated plant phenotyping into its transplanting lines using high-resolution imaging and machine learning.
Our systems evaluate key plant traits—such as height, stem thickness, leaf count, and root development—and make real-time decisions about which plants to transplant, discard, or redirect. This ensures that only the strongest plants move forward in the production cycle, improving overall crop performance
For more developed plants, our transplanting systems are designed to handle leafy or delicate crops without damaging foliage.
These machines use specialized grippers that lift plants individually, preserving plant integrity and enabling high-speed, high-volume transplanting
We begin by working closely with growers and breeders to define what “quality” means for their specific crops. Whether it’s uniformity in height, stem thickness, or root development, we translate these biological and commercial goals into measurable phenotypic traits.
Based on these traits, we design integrated workflows that combine high-resolution imaging, AI-based grading, and robotic handling. This ensures that only plants meeting your defined standards are selected for transplanting—improving downstream performance and consistency.
From micro-transplanting fragile tissue culture plantlets to sorting and transplanting larger, leafy crops, we configure systems to match plant size, sensitivity, and production volume. Specialized grippers, trays, and motion controls are selected to preserve plant integrity at every stage.
Once installed, we support your team with training, calibration, and validation protocols to ensure the system performs to spec. Our data-driven approach allows for ongoing refinement of grading thresholds and transplanting logic as your crops or market needs evolve.
