IRISS Hydrangea
IRISS Hydrangea
4More Technology has transferred the success of IRISS Roses to hydrangeas. IRISS Hydrangea is the system that ensures perfect, uniform bunches of hydrangeas. IRISS Hydrangea is available for both large and small nurseries. The range consists of the IRISS Hydrangea Mobile and the IRISS Hydrangea Sorting Machine.
​
The IRISS camera system takes high quality photos that lead to very accurate measurements. IRISS Hydrangea can measure bulb diameter, bulb color and stem length. Other than that, in case of odd shaped flowers the grower can choose to sort by surface instead of diameter. With these measurements, the hydrangea is classified according to sorting parameters that are determined by the user. As a result, the hydrangeas are sorted into perfect uniform bunches. Working with IRISS Hydrangea ensures a higher yield, reliability & efficiency, uniformity & quality in your hydrangeas.​
Reliability
As with any automation, reliability is essential. IRISS is known for being very accurate: a quality that enhances its reliability.
​
The operation of IRISS Hydrangea has been kept as simple as possible, while making optimal use of the many possibilities it offers. This ease of use gives the possibility to be served by any staff member, regardless of their background.​
Complete solution
With the IRISS Hydrangea Sorting Machine, a complete solution for the grower has been developed. Up to 1200 flowers per hour are assessed by their unique characteristics: bulb diameter, color and flower length are accurately recorded. Where necessary, the stems are cut to size and then sorted according to the values preset by the user. This allows uniform bunches to be created, that can be bunched by the employee without cutting. By optimizing the sorting process, labor savings of 25-40% are achieved.​
Uniformity
Uniformity is key with IRISS Hortensia. This means: producing perfect, uniform bunches of hydrangeas. The user can easily set multiple measurement values, so that the uniformity is shaped according to his own preference. These can be measured values determined by the user, but it is also possible to respond to the wishes of the customer. For example, does the customer only want stems of 55 cm? This is easy to achieve with IRISS Hydrangea.
Sorting by color
IRISS can also sort the flowers by color. Many hydrangea cultivars have a range of colors at one time. Now the user can sort these by hue, therefor creating more uniformity in the flower bunches.
Modular system
The IRISS Hydrangea Sorting Machine can be fully adapted to your wishes. Due to the modular system, the machine can easily be adapted to the space you have available. Are you going to move, do you want to move the machine to a larger space, or does the machine prove to be insufficient afterwards? Modules can then easily be added, without having to incur high costs for adapting the existing machine. The capacity can also be easily doubled by installing a 2nd machine.
​
The possibilities are endless!​
Data
Because all exact measurements of each hydrangea are stored in a database, a great deal of additional detailed information is created. This can be an invaluable extra tool for both cultivation and marketing.​
Mobility
The IRISS Hydrangea Mobile is a small and compact device. The mobile version is unique in that it can be used anywhere. Only an internet connection and normal power outlet are required. In addition, it also meets our high quality requirements: it is very reliable, efficient and, thanks to its compactness, it is very easy to use.
The IRISS Hydranngea mobile uses the same techniques as the sorting machine to sort by color, stem length and diameter/surface of the flower.
Due to the low investment, the IRISS Hortensia Mobile means that IRISS technology is also within reach for the smaller grower.
