Next generation of automated cutting planting

TTA-ISO has announced the launch of its newest solution for automated cutting planting: the CuttingPlanter 2.0. Over a decade ago, TTA-ISO introduced the original CuttingPlanter as the world’s first machine capable of automatically planting cuttings, setting the standard for automated cutting planting worldwide. Building on that legacy, the CuttingPlanter 2.0 takes automated planting to the next level, with a wider picking area, a faster robot with an extended working range, and a cutting return belt that returns unplanted cuttings to the front of the machine.

The CuttingPlanter 2.0 is built for faster, easier operations. Improved accessibility makes daily use and maintenance simpler, while active cooling ensures optimal performance even in warm, humid greenhouse environments. An electric tilting robot gripper enables angled pick-and-place handling, and a new touchscreen gives operators intuitive control over the machine.

Despite these upgrades, the machine retains the same footprint. With unchanged dimensions, the CuttingPlanter 2.0 can be integrated into an existing setup without major layout changes, making it a straightforward upgrade for growers already familiar with TTA-ISO equipment.

This new generation runs on TTA-ISO’s CuttingVision software, a proven platform already trusted on the CuttingEdge, meaning growers benefit from one powerful, field-tested software platform across TTA-ISO’s machines. The CuttingPlanter 2.0 further extends this with a range of smart options, including compatibility with VisionAir, a singulator for cuttings, and a belt washer designed for cuttings that may leave agar or resin residue on the belt.
