In the glasshouse of the future tense , unsubdivided , insistent tasks will be performed by robots . But it ’s not that far yet : it ’s croak step by dance step . In the coming decades , employee will work in an environs that is increasingly robotized , mechanized , and digitalized . How can greenhouse horticulture – which is already having problem finding employees – ensure that enough people want to work in and around the glasshouse ?
The Business Unit Greenhouse Horticulture and Flower Bulbs of Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ) is begin the Joyride Horticulture projection , in which good workings conditions are sought for workers who act in the primary unconscious process . These are mainly migrant workers .
Migrant workers in the primary processMuch of the work in the elemental process of a glasshouse horticulture ship’s company is carried out by migrant worker , who are also get older and further along . They function in an increasingly warm and humid surroundings . Contact with co-worker is becoming less because machines have taken over part of the logistics operations : the employees are also less roving in their work . In addition , these activities are becoming more and more short - cycled . And by applying data , employee are more and more assess on personal performance , which also have in mind that there is less room for mutual contact .
Working in glasshouse horticulture is , therefore , also becoming less attractive for migratory workers , while greenhouse horticulture need them . That is why WUR is starting the Joyride Horticulture PPP labor . In it , 6 ' Personas ' in gardening are developed into concrete solutions and products .
Solutions and products for greenhouse horticultureIn ' The Cool Worker ' , WUR is looking for ways to make working in the nursery less blistering , for exercise , through adapted wear , participating ventilation , and local cooling system and shade . In ' The Ambient Worker ' , it is all about using digital technique to support the employee in their work , for example , through video instructions and direct feedback on the job quality functioning from intelligent systems and simple machine . The route ' The Social Worker ' is about contact with colleagues and coaching management : how can an employee , for example , still keep in touching with colleague during study via an image and phone ?
