Our vision

A sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future for the agricultural sector

Agriculture is a dynamic sector with an essential role: feeding a growing population. By 2050, there will be nine billion mouths to feed. This means that the world will have to produce 70% more food. Increasing food production requires efficient agriculture. Quality must also be maintained, in a sustainable and innovative way. With respect for people and animals.

Meanwhile, the environment in which our customers operate is constantly changing, meaning that creating a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future is more of an ongoing process than a done deal.

Every day we help our customers around the world make choices about how to set up and run their farms. Lely supports with advice and innovative solutions that contribute to efficient farm management. Now and in the future.

Our mission

Creating the future of agriculture through innovative and valued solutions

To meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, we see it as our most important task to provide solutions that help our customers excel in sustainable milk and meat production.

We do this by continuously inspiring and motivating our employees to create new and innovative concepts. Ideas and solutions that make the lives of livestock farmers easier, make their business more successful and open up a bright future for them.

Freedom of choice for our customers is the foundation on which our vision and mission are consolidated. At Lely, the wishes and needs of our customers determine how we support and help them.

Farm of the Future

The world around us is changing rapidly. The global population continues to grow, with demand for food expected to increase by 50% to 70% by 2050. Consumers expect farmers to produce their dairy products in an increasingly sustainable manner; they increasingly want to know where their food comes from and how it was produced. At the same time, farmers are the subject of various discussions worldwide and are subject to increasingly strict regulations.

This changing environment is our reality. Farming in the future is about a dairy farm that is responsible for society, for farmers and animals. Farming then revolves around the farmer, his or her role in society and the way society looks at him or her. Farming in the future is about focusing on the farmer.

While the environment changes, our goal remains the same: 'Making life easier for farmers.' In the coming years, we will continue to innovate to help solve the major challenges in dairy farming.

What do we do at WTT
At WTT we design, build, maintain and optimize waste treatment plants for organic waste throughout the entire life cycle. Our goal is to help our customers achieve the highest return by providing them with state-of-the-art technology and expertise.

Our solutions contribute to a more sustainable world by converting organic waste into valuable raw materials and energy.

Proprietary software specifically for organic waste processing plants
Software in the market is often not designed with organic waste processing in mind. This limits the possibilities to fully optimize the process and achieve the best results.

That is why our specialized software team has developed our own software for PLC and SCADA control systems, specifically tailored to organic waste processing plants.

Our software uses thermodynamic calculations to make predictions about the behavior of biological processes. Instead of reacting to biology, the software predicts its behavior.

Working at WTT
At WTT we are true specialists in organic waste and innovation is in our blood. Within the WTT family you can work well and there are many opportunities to grow. Your work pleasure and development are our top priority.

TechNature offers Vision & Robotics applications for optical sorting, crop measurements, and irrigation in the agricultural industry. By equipping machines with smart technologies like AI and deep learning software, production chains become more efficient, and food waste is minimized. This allows for high-capacity sorting into various quality categories or size gradations, thereby increasing yield in the cultivation and processing of vegetables, fruits, eggs, and flowers.

In addition to optical sorting, TechNature also develops crop sensors for horticulture and agriculture. The KalanchoeCam is a camera system that can optically measure the height and ripeness of potted plants. Based on these measurements, a spray boom is controlled directly, without the need for operator intervention. This area still offers ample opportunity for young technicians to work on such applications.

Flikweert Vision specializes in making the agri-food sector more sustainable and automated by providing practical and innovative solutions. With a strong agricultural background and in-depth expertise, the company has developed optical sorting machines tailored to the needs of the agricultural sector. In 2021, Flikweert Vision introduced the QualityGrader, an efficient solution for sorting seed potatoes and onions. Through continuous innovation, this machine has been further optimized with upgrades that increase capacity. Additionally, the Divider enables high-capacity, precise sorting, further enhancing process efficiency.

Behind these innovative products is a dedicated team working together to achieve Flikweert Vision's mission: to become the leading market expert in optical sorting for potatoes and onions. The software team enthusiastically develops camera technology and AI, while the designers transform custom requests from the sales team into practical designs.
