Our Technology Partner: 4MT and the Revolutionary IRISS Hydrangea Sorting System
We believe that true product quality starts with control at every stage. That’s why our strategic technology partner is the Dutch company 4MT — the creator of the innovative IRISS system. Building on their long-term success with roses, 4MT has developed a version of IRISS specifically for hydrangeas — a breakthrough in precision and efficiency.
Partnering with 4MT allows us to ensure that the most advanced global innovations directly contribute to the quality of your product.
IRISS Hydrangea: Technology of Perfect Uniformity
IRISS Hydrangea is an intelligent sorting system that "sees" and analyzes every flower with unmatched accuracy.
It uses a set of high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images and measure each bloom across key parameters:
- Flower sizeThe system measures not just diameter but also total surface area — a more accurate metric for asymmetrical flower heads.
- Stem lengthThe system analyzes and automatically trims stems to the desired standard.
- Color shadeIRISS can distinguish subtle color variations, allowing even multi-colored hydrangeas to be sorted by their dominant tone.
The result? Perfectly consistent, predictable, and uniform batches of flowers that fully meet your or your client’s specifications.
