Well it depends. This is in the Nederland. The wages and taxes are very high. Only the equipment needed to be invested. The greenhouse you need either way. It also depends where these equipment were designed and built. If you had them built outside of the Nederland than the cost is not as much.
Cost is probabky in the order of millions. For an individual yes it's a lot, but at the business's scale it's not that much. Plus the equipment used in this video isn't anything ground breaking or new technology - they don't even automate the harvesting. So I don't think the upfront cost is really that much.
Awesome system! Is there any possibility to have a look at the industrial process flowchart? I would like to see the inputs used and the energy consumption. On a sidenote, great instrumental songs! :D
Robots replaced the humans to control the food supplies. What could go wrong with that? What famous person quoted this concept? Buler? Buler? Buler? Anyone?
cheaper if you automate it with a pulley system, the seed planting and putting the actual net pot into the hole is literally baby work, thats only if your planting 1000s a day
Fully automated means no human intervention is required. The moment this video started there was a human, loading racks of plants. This system is partially automated.
Only reason I dislike this video is because it claims to be fully automated. If that were true I wouldnt have seem a monpower workforce like I did. Still insanely badass.
Steve Sherman Obviously you only came here to hate. Why don't you do that IRL by coming up to a guy on the street who's twice your size and say the same thing to him?
Let this Hydroponics system spread and reach every farmer in India and make these farmers happiest persons, providing organic produce to everyone in India, at reasonable rates
Far more efficient than people. When the automated machines move faster it'll save even more time and money. Very good for making a lot of food quickly and efficiently. My only problems are the speed, the people still involved, and that they haven't done this in a vertical farm version. Otherwise, good.
my hydroponic plants all died today from spider mites, hope they can deal with pests like these. I see a small bug moving around in the bottom left at 1:16 , so maybe not!
When it comes to spider mites, big operations have enough of them to be able to intoduce a population of predatory mites, that feed on the green-eating ones, keeping their population low enough so that the losses are not a problem. There are other methods as well, but this is the most eco-friendly and organic, at the cost of being somewhat unstable (short population surges of those pests can occur after periods of near-eradication).
if everything was automated then one day no need of humans for jobs and without jobs no need of customers as they don't have money and what's their food and .... I request my beautiful Hamans please increase burden on you and next generation, better follow one or none for our future children happy living
If we don't tax corporations and provide a basic income that puts everyone into a comfortable living situation the progess will bring pitchforks for sure!
I don't agree with this because this takes away jobs from us yeah it may save the business owner a ton of money but I still think those with a close relationship of the industry and trade chain
I feel sorry for all of the people who lose their jobs due to this level of automation - replacing 20/30 people with 2/3 engineers. Just bad for society in general.
heavily automated not fully automated. But ya, this is another example of a very capital intensive investment with a great ROI after a certain amount of time.
American Gurkha not just agriculture either..all of the industries. They are going to have to give out a guaranteed income of some kind to everyone..if not...the pitchforks are coming. We have to eat too. Heard that robotic trucks are coming soon. Bye bye truck drivers. Cmon.
if that really works... these tasks are mostly done by people who are mostly not very creative or driven to create something of their own. They will just sit at home on the couch watching sitcoms.....
"fully automatic" i saw at least 15 people working there in the video, mostly picking and placing plastic crates and packaging, so nop its not a fully automatic system at all...
Absolut die Zukunft. Unser Nachbar hat eine ähnliche Anlage. Wenn man für Gemüse wenig bezahlen möchte muss man alles in Massen produzieren damit man wieder sein auskommen hat. Es gilt der Grundsatz : Wachsen oder Weichen . Wieviel aber investiert werden muss um das so herzustellen fragt keiner. Übrigens braucht man durch diese Art wesentlich weniger Kunstdünger und eigendlich keine Spritzmittel.
We could survive on Mars if we could put this entire operation underground and transport enough clean water, UV lights, soil, and energy supplies in order to keep it operating. But it would cost trillions of dollars and at max maybe only 100 colonists could survive. Radiation and toxic dust storms would make things very difficult.
No wonder why the plants with hardly any roots last for a very short time. People dont realize they have to replant and give plenty of lights to allow the plants to grow at home, not just buying new plants.
This doesn’t seem to be full automation. You still have people dealing with the seedling process. And the packing process. Is the seedling process too hard to judge?
you can dream of it ... how much taxes on your cigarettes???? in my home country it's like 80% so you can bet legal cannabis will follow the same way ....
@@leightoncooke nope, it would be a nightmare(insects, pests, broken pieces), and will certainly not make benefits for 10-15 years, and 10-15 years later, you had half of the equipement to change... And the nutriment costs..... The future is full living soil culture, it has the best benefits.
Best- From what I have seen on Hydro Lettuce 1 week from seed to seedling then 3 weeks on the raft. Keep in mind, most lettuce takes up to 3 months in dirt.
