At High Tech Farms in Atongo, Mexico, Koidra's KoPilot supports autonomous climate control across commercial tomato production, including both Beef and TOV zones. Deployed across 4 hectares, the project shows how autonomous growing can be applied in real production conditions while supporting strong yield performance.
One of the clearest results came from the Beef crop, which achieved 35.48 kg/m² over 23 weeks of harvesting.
Crop-specific climate control strategies
KoPilot supports different climate strategies for the two crops, with Beef managed at a lower temperature profile than TOV. This allows climate control to stay aligned with crop-specific growing goals rather than applying the same settings across all zones.

KoPilot maintained stable climate execution across the project, with actual climate behavior staying close to the target over multiple periods.
Crop registration as part of autonomous growing
DataPilot's crop registration feature helps connect plant observations with climate decisions.
At High Tech Farms, crop data such as head thickness, weekly growth, and leaf length were used to evaluate whether Beef and TOV were tracking toward the target crop balance. Regular
crop registration gives growers better visibility into crop development and helps ensure the climate strategy responds to plant behavior, not just greenhouse conditions.
This creates a stronger feedback loop between crop measurements and autonomous control, helping growers make more informed steering decisions throughout the season.

Results
The Beef crop reached 35.48 kg/m² in 23 weeks of harvesting (~1.54 kg/m²/week), reflecting a strong production pace for high-tech greenhouse beef tomato production.

Autonomous Growing Tour at High Tech Farms
To share these results in a real production setting, Koidra is hosting the Autonomous Growing Tour at High Tech Farms. The tour runs from 9:45 to 11:15 am on March 25, 2026, inside the High Tech Farms greenhouse in Atongo. Visitors will see how KoPilot is used in day-to-day greenhouse operations during active tomato production, including autonomous climate control across multiple zones, live dashboards and sensor data for crop monitoring, and zone-specific strategies for Beef and TOV tomatoes. The session also shows how climate targets are translated into daily greenhouse actions and how crop registration enables more data-driven crop steering. Overall, the tour gives growers and partners a clear, practical view of how autonomous growing works under real commercial conditions.
