We announced on Friday, November 8, 2024, at the “Hamamatsu Farm” pilot plant equipped with HarvestX, that Shunkado Co., Ltd., makers of “Unagi Pie,” a long-beloved representative confectionery of Hamamatsu, will implement it as the world’s first commercial application.</p><p>This will contribute to producing and selling high-quality strawberry products regardless of the season. In the future, using the “Hamamatsu Farm” established in May 2024 with the support of Hamamatsu City and Hamamatsu Iwata Shinkin Bank as a foothold, we will target plant factories struggling with strawberry production and companies interested in starting strawberry cultivation, aiming to expand our sales significantly.</p><p><img src=/img/news/2024/DSC1741.webp alt="&ldquo;4 presenters are lining up&rdquo;"></p><h2 id=press-conference-overview>Press Conference Overview</h2><p>The conference was held in Hamamatsu City on Friday, November 8, with participation from local government officials and media representatives. Guest speakers, including Hamamatsu City Mayor Yusuke Nakano, Hamamatsu Iwata Shinkin Bank President Hirohisa Takayanagi, Shunkado CEO Takahiro Yamazaki, and HarvestX CEO Yuki Ichikawa discussed the support system leading up to the Hamamatsu Farm opening and the background of the product implementation.</p><p><img src=/img/news/2024/DSC1728.webp alt="&ldquo;a photo during press conference&rdquo;"></p><h2 id=about-the-strawberry-automated-cultivation-solution-harvestx>About the Strawberry Automated Cultivation Solution “HarvestX”</h2><p>“HarvestX” is a solution that achieves stable production by automating “plant management” and “pollination” in the strawberry production process at plant factories, with plans to add “harvesting” functionality in 2025.<br>Through a combination of optimized robots, cultivation racks, and cultivation recipes developed in-house, along with AI-powered automation of pollination and monitoring, we aim to achieve stable production and reduce production costs, targeting global expansion as a sustainable production system.</p><p><img src=/img/solutions/solution_overview_en.png alt="&ldquo;the system diagram of HarvestX&rdquo;"></p><h2 id=pollination-robot-xv3>Pollination Robot “XV3”</h2><p>“XV3” is the central robot in the strawberry automated cultivation solution “HarvestX.” High-precision pollination through robotics and environmental control through sensing technology have made strawberry production possible in any region or environment.<br>The robot consists of two parts: the “XV3 Cart,” which automatically navigates within the plant factory, and the “XV3 Unit,” equipped with sensors for data collection and robotic arms for tasks. It is designed to be easily expandable and adaptable to meet the needs of plant factory businesses. It is also designed with future updates in mind for application to fruits and vegetables other than strawberries. Evolving and automating robots within the plant factory without making large-scale hardware changes is possible.</p><h3 id=strawberry-pollination-by-the-plant-factory-pollination-and-harvesting-robot-xv3-3-tier-robot>Strawberry Pollination by the Plant Factory Pollination and Harvesting Robot XV3 (3-tier robot)</h3><p><div style=position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden><iframe src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/msHOLkLVRJc style=position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0 allowfullscreen title="YouTube Video"></iframe></div><br></p><h3 id=introduction-video-of-hamamatsu-farm>Introduction Video of Hamamatsu Farm</h3><p><div style=position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden><iframe src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/lFDPVu2ypTk style=position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0 allowfullscreen title="YouTube Video"></iframe></div><br></p><h2 id=about-harvestx>About HarvestX</h2><p>HarvestX Inc., founded in 2020, is a Tokyo-based startup that aims to fully automate the cultivation of fruits and vegetables that require pollination, such as strawberries, in indoor farms.
