Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Costa Farms is a 60-year-old, family-owned company with a deep passion for plants. They grow over 1,500 varieties on 5,200 acres across the southeastern U.S., making them one of the world’s largest horticultural producers. When Costa Farms looked to optimize operations, they recognized that without live production data, they couldn't understand where inefficiencies truly existed. Having a diverse set of machinery did not make this an easy obstacle to overcome.

In this case study, find out how Costa Farms was able to streamline multiple farming facilities and reduce downtime using a homegrown production tracking system built with Opto 22's groov RIO.
