Led by Grow Systems International, Linkwise collaborated with Delta Electronics Singapore to provide an innovative advanced farming solution to one of New Zealand’s leading professional growers and processors of high-quality gourmet baby vegetables, salad lines and herbs – Southern Fresh.

The control panels designed and fabricated were incorporated with Delta Electronics components for a customized moving gully system (MGS), to boost the efficiency of fresh produce production operations. The fabricated control panels, HMI panels, and the moving gully systems were delivered and installed onsite at the New Zealand farm.

As countries around the globe battle the COVID-19 pandemic, vegetables, and many agricultural products frequently become top essential items for many people. During this recent crisis, customers had to wait in lengthy queues at supermarkets for limited stocks of food items. Traditional sourcing and production of essential supplies often fail to meet the spikes in demand from panicked shoppers, which highlights the need for innovative technology such as the MGS to boost efficiency in the agriculture sector and ensure secure supply.

The Moving Gully System (MGS)

Developed and patented by Grow Systems International, the Moving Gully System (MGS) is a horticulture technology that has proven to be a reliable solution for sustainable greenhouse cultivation of leafy greens and herbs.

It comprises a network of gullies that move plants through different stages of cultivation, from seeding, to planting, to harvesting. The gullies are moved from stage to stage at pre-programmed intervals, speed and direction via an electro-mechanical system.

The moving Gully system (MGS) made an impact with the game in the agriculture sector, from the traditional growing of seeds to an advance and more efficient way of farming. With the help MGS, the production of fresh and processed agriculture products will boost it efficiency and production.
