Automated Cultivation Systems for Lettuce and Herbs
Smarter cultivation. More efficient logistics.
Grow lettuce and herbs with greater control
Growing lettuce, herbs and other leafy greens profitably requires more than the right climate. It requires a reliable process that connects crop quality, plant density, irrigation and logistics from sowing through to harvest.
Bosman Van Zaal’s automated Cultivation Systems bring these elements together in one controlled workflow. Mobile growing containers and smart logistics reduce manual handling while supporting consistent crop development, efficient use of water and space, and scalable production in greenhouses or vertical farms.
Designed for reliable hydroponic cultivation
At the heart of every system are lightweight aluminium cultivation containers with custom-designed plastic bottoms. They support efficient irrigation, good air circulation and stable growing conditions throughout the crop cycle.
Depending on your required level of automation, containers move automatically on durable roller tracks or manually over pipe rails. From mechanically assisted systems to fully automated, multi-layer installations, each configuration provides a flexible and efficient foundation for hydroponic cultivation.
Automation and data that keep your crop moving
Bosman Van Zaal’s Cultivation Systems combine mobile containers, customised trays and smart logistics in one batch-driven growing process. Plants move through each stage at the right moment, creating a controlled production flow and allowing crops to be cultivated at the required density throughout their growth cycle.
With ISAL as an optional software add-on, growers can manage cultivation batch by batch, linking crop planning, logistics and traceability in one system. From sowing and transplanting to harvesting, this reduces unnecessary manual handling and supports predictable output across greenhouses, multi-layer installations and vertical farms.

In this whitepaper, we explore the cultivation of lettuce and herbs using automated container systems. We highlight the key features of this growing method, provide insights into the applied technology, and examine real-world applications. At the heart of this discussion is the advanced Cultivation System by Bosman Van Zaal – a system that excels in innovation and efficiency, helping growers achieve maximum yield with minimal impact on people and the environment.
