A company located in Japan will open the first farm in the world powered by industrial robots, in which technology is responsible for the completion of the production process from the cultivation to the greenery collection.The 4,400 square-metre space is in the city of Kizugawa, South of Kyoto, in the central part of Japan, and will begin operations in mid-2017 with a daily production of 30000 feet of lettuce and endive, said a spokesman of the Spread, company that carries out the project.On site will be produced four varieties of vegetables-Escarole and lettuces, and Lollo Rossa Batavia-, and robots will perform all work, with the exception of the sowing.' It is technically possible to automate seeding too, but decided not to do so because we believe that it would be impractical to cost-effectiveness purposes ', explained the company.Through this Automation, the Spread has ensured that it is possible to reduce the cost of labor by half, in addition to 20% decrease in energy costs, which makes it possible for greenery reach the consumer with a more affordable price.
