Agriculture 4.0 – The Noovelia Group, leader in autonomous and automated solutions, joins Zone Agtech as official partner

L’Assomption RCM, June 22th 2021 – Issu Resulting from a merger between Divel, Epsilia and Pluritag, Noovelia, Canadian leader in autonomous and automated solutions, joins Zone Agtech as an official partner to support the agricultural industry, agtech and plant bioproducts in their 4.0 development.

As the agricultural sector is currently in full transition, the Zone Agtech and Noovelia are joining their two missions in a partnership that will promote the growth of 4.0 in the agriculture sector. Thanks to this partnership, Noovelia will also offer its expertise to companies that develop innovative agricultural technologies (agtech), whether they are associated with the production, packaging, processing or distribution of fruits, vegetables and other bio-food products.

« Noovelia is a pioneer in digitization and intelligent management of agrifood production and warehouses in Quebec. They started their operations in 1983, long before 4.0 and artificial intelligence became a big trend. The expertise they have developed is one of the most advanced in Quebec and is now accessible to all members of the Zone Agtech who develop innovative agricultural and agrifood technologies. This partnership will significantly accelerate the development phase of technologies and, consequently, their marketing to the market, » underlines Marilou Cyr, director of the Zone Agtech.
