Electrozeta gets a Contribution to innovate the Vine-Nursery Sector
We are pleased to announce that Electrozeta has successfully applied for a grant from the PR FESR 2021-2027, obtaining non-repayable funding* for the development of Proof of Concept (PoC) with the HECO-CUTTER-EVOLUTION Project.
Electrozeta's Vision
Since 1995, Electrozeta has been committed to developing and manufacturing innovative machines for the vine-nursery industry, simplifying manual operations and automating production processes in the vine-growing sector. One of our major creations, the HECO-CUTTER, an automatic rootstock cutting machine, revolutionized the market by replacing this manual operation, improving quality, speed and eliminating operator subjectivity.
Today, the demand for automation, rationalization of costs and improvement of the quality of the finished product is constantly growing. Even small and medium-sized nurserymen are driven to improve their production capabilities with advanced equipment, due to the lack of skilled workforce.
The HECO-CUTTER EVOLUTION Project
To meet these challenges, Electrozeta is committed to the development of a new machine that will integrate the cutting of scions and rootstocks into a single piece of equipment. This solution aims to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs, while maintaining an affordable investment for all market segments without compromising processing quality.
The innovation project of the Cutting machine includes:
- The complete automation of rootstock and scion cutting.
- The inclusion of state-of-the-art technologies, artificial intelligence systems and advanced sensors to optimise the precision, speed and reliability of the cutting process.
- The creation of an advanced prototype module to test and validate these new technologies.
- Improvements and functional modifications to increase productivity and the quality of the finished product, also renewing the design of the machine.
- The development of specific management software to control the new technologies, improving integration and operational efficiency and ensuring greater safety for operators.
Expected Results and Future Opportunities
The ultimate goal is to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of producing and commercializing a revolutionary combined machine for the vine-nursery sector. The expected results will allow Electrozeta to increase its know-how and consolidate its position in the industry, offering a more efficient and competitive solution in the Italian and foreign markets.
We invite all our current and potential customers to follow us for further updates on this exciting project. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information and to find out how our innovations can transform your work in the vine-nursery sector.
