Making complex knowledge easy to understand, powered by AI and XR technology

Seeing is Understanding: How XR is Becoming the New Standard in Knowledge Transfer

The horticultural sector is rapidly evolving. Driven by upscaling, labor shortages, and the need for sustainable production, growers increasingly rely on advanced technologies such as automation, data analytics, and robotics. Yet this digital transformation brings a new challenge: how can complex knowledge be transferred to employees on the ground clearly, consistently, and at scale?

This is where AI makes the difference. By digitizing and structuring expertise, artificial intelligence enables personalized, on-the-job learning that accelerates skill development, reduces errors, and ensures that knowledge is scalable across teams.

DigiVation enables the horticultural sector to turn complex technical knowledge into clear, scalable digital instructions empowering teams to work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence.

But we go further.

By integrating XR technology including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) DigiVation transforms training and support into immersive experiences. Complex procedures become intuitive. Service tasks become visual. And learning becomes hands-on, even without being on-site.

With AR, service technicians can receive real-time guidance as they work overlaying instructions directly onto the machinery. With VR, new employees can safely explore digital twins of complex environments, gaining experience before ever setting foot in the greenhouse or production facility.

The result?

Faster onboarding and upskilling, fewer operational errors, less downtime and a workforce that’s ready for the future.

At DigiVation, we believe that the future of knowledge transfer is visual, interactive, and always available. We don't just help teams understand complex systems, we help them master them.
