Mucci Farms, a Kingsville, Ontario based industry leader with greenhouses in both Canada and the United States, launches ecoation’s OKO Immersive in Ontario operations and signs a 2-year research agreement to develop further products.
North Vancouver, BC (Monday, March 1, 2021) - In addition to the launch of a new OKO Immersive solution at Mucci Farms, the companies have signed an agreement to pursue 2021/2022 product development research in Mucci Farms’ Ontario greenhouse facilities. Mucci Farms’ expansive facilities and diverse crop selection provides the ideal environment for ecoation to launch its tested commercial products and take major strides towards developing future ones. The primary research objective aims to fine-tune the functionalities of ecoation’s future precision treatment solutions with the invaluable insights of one of North America’s most prominent and reputable agriculture powerhouses: Mucci Farms.
Since commercial deployment in 2019, ecoation has benefited from 18-months of field operation experience in greenhouses around the world and invaluable customer feedback. These lessons were distilled into hardware upgrades launched this past December, allowing the new OKO platform to deliver in three key solution areas (IPM, Yield Production Assessment, and Crop Work) and be easily accessible with deployment options for existing greenhouse carts. The OKO Immersive platform launching in Mucci Farms facilities provides critical plant health measurements and includes exciting new features like the completely immersive 360 8K view of the greenhouse and low latency data exchange capabilities.
