Managing a greenhouse is expensive, with labor being the biggest cost. While cutting expenses drastically isn’t always an option, optimizing labor efficiency can boost profitability.
The problem? Many growers fail to spot inefficiencies in their operations. Small task delays, misallocated roles, and poor performance tracking quickly add up to wasted labor. However, a data-driven approach can eliminate these losses and streamline workflows.
That’s where ioCrops steps in. This agritech company has launched Ation, a powerful labor management system built for greenhouses. With real-time tracking and smart insights, Ation helps growers maximize productivity without increasing workforce costs.
Data-Driven Approach to Greenhouse Labor
Ation is a smart yet simple system for greenhouses and farm operations. It streamlines labor management through a smartphone app for workers, QR codes on growing lines, and a web dashboard for managers.
Here’s how it works:
- Workers scan QR codes to log tasks instantly.
- Managers monitor progress in real time.
- The system analyzes data to uncover inefficiencies.
By digitizing labor tracking, Ation helps growers measure work speed, task volume, and working hours. This allows for smarter scheduling and ensures workers are placed in roles where they perform best.
“Farmers using Ation have seen up to a 10% boost in labor efficiency,” says JinHyung Cho, CEO of ioCrops.
Beyond reducing labor costs, Ation boosts worker engagement through data-driven incentive programs. Employees can track their performance metrics, and targeted incentives motivate higher productivity.
Ation Expands to Global Greenhouse Markets
Already used in Korea, Ation is now expanding into North America, Turkey, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Australia, and so on. Greenhouse owners worldwide can access a free demo through ioCrops’ website.
“We don’t limit our service by country,” explains JinHyung. “We offer remote onboarding and are open to partnering with local companies for better support.”
With rising costs in greenhouse farming, tools like Ation are becoming essential. By tracking performance, reducing waste, and motivating workers, growers can boost efficiency without increasing costs.
