At the underground Siemens test lab in Munich, sowing, watering, fertilizing, and harvesting radishes, lettuce, and other vegetables is done automatically – by a gardening robot. Using simulation models – a Digital Twin of the indoor garden – calculations are performed to determine what the robot has to do to ensure each plant gets exactly the right quantity of nutrients and water it needs for ideal growth. Thanks to the robot’s high precision, less water is consumed. And thanks to constantly gathering data with IoT operating system MindSphere from Siemens, it`s possible to provide much higher transparency to consumers about the foodstuffs' properties.
