Case studies

Discover how WIWAM automated plant phenotyping systems are applied in real-world research environments. These case studies highlight validated workflows, experimental setups and measurable research outcomes across a wide range of phenotyping applications, from stress response analysis to high-throughput trait discovery.

Case study: Rhizotron “Rootshoot”



CASE STUDY

Rhizotron “Rootshoot”

The primary purpose of the machine is to fill rootshoot sheets with soil, ensuring a consistent thickness of 4 mm. These rootshoot sheets play a crucial role in the rootshoot phenotyper, which is designed to analyze and gather vital information from a field of plants.

Case study: Agro Incubator

CASE STUDY

Agro Incubator

The purpose of the machine is to acquire information from a field of plants (which are individually located in a pot) that are stored in containers. The pots are uniquely identified with RFID cards.

Case study: Plant to sensor table



CASE STUDY

Plant to sensor table

The primary purpose of the machine is to conduct detailed plant research in a field of various plants. This allows researchers to study the growth, health, and responses of the plants under different conditions and treatments.

Case study: 3D scanning cart



CASE STUDY

3D scanning cart

The purpose of the machine is to perform regular 3D cloud scans of plants in a greenhouse. These scans are conducted using two dual scan F600 scanners that are arranged in a fixed setup.

Case study: NPEC Greenhouse



CASE STUDY

NPEC Greenhouse

The WIWAM installations at the NPEC Greenhouse, consist of a large-scale conveyor system and 2 gantry systems. The systems occupy the 5 compartments of the NPEC Greenhouse.
