Koidra compared with Blue Radix
How does Koidra compare with Blue Radix for autonomous greenhouse growing?
Greenhouse Farming Updated
Blue Radix optimizes the air around your crop. We optimize the crop.
Our control runs a full simulation of the greenhouse and of the plant inside it, and adapts to what your growers register. It is the only autonomous growing system that has beaten expert human growers under independent scoring, twice.
| Koidra | Blue Radix | |
|---|---|---|
| Simulates the greenhouse climate in full | ✅ | ❌ |
| Simulates the crop inside it | ✅ | ❌ |
| Listens to what your growers register | ✅ | ❌ |
| Crop registration in the product | ✅ built for a tablet in the aisle | ❌ |
| Anomaly alerts that reach a phone | ✅ | ❌ |
| Beaten expert growers under independent scoring | ✅ twice, published by Wageningen | ❌ |
| Runs on your existing climate computer | ✅ | ✅ |
A ❌ means we found nothing published claiming it, as of September 2026. Tell us if we have it wrong and we will correct it.
Optimizing the plant, not the air around it
A system that models only the climate is optimizing the environment. Ours models the crop as well, and adapts to what your growers write down, so it is optimizing the thing you are actually paid for.
That is the difference behind every row above. It is also why crop registration is built into the product rather than left to a spreadsheet: the model is only as good as what the aisle tells it, so registration has to be fast enough that people actually do it.
Somebody else did the scoring
We won the Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge across two editions, scored and published by Wageningen University & Research. It is the only setting in this industry where autonomous growers and expert human growers run the same crop, under the same conditions, and an independent party writes down who won.
A competition is not a commercial deployment. But we did not choose the conditions, the scoring, or who else entered, and a case study is written by the vendor.
