Based out of Woburn, Massachusetts, they have combined machine learning tools with two color cameras and finely tuned robotics to create a unique, cutting-edge android. To take machine trimming to the next level, Gowa and his team at Bloom Automation have added intelligence. You’re simply making less money because the quality is lower.” “And so, they’re not useful because the cultivator can’t sell the end product anymore. “Machine trimming these washing machine-style machines that tumble the cannabis over and over and trim it with a brute force method,” he says. But these clunky contraptions have their flaws, according to Gowa. Countless electric bud trimmers have been on the market for years. Of course, Gowa isn’t the only person who’s thought to bring automation to cannabis trimming. “It has that tireless attitude of a machine it doesn’t really care if it’s working all day, 24 hours a day.” “We see a robot being advantageous because it’s able to trim continuously,” he says. And you really don’t want them in dull situations either, because they get tired and leave.”Īfter considering the dull, dirty, and dangerous dilemma cannabis cultivators face, Gowa and his team at Bloom have developed their own sci-fi solution: robotic marijuana trimmers. “Because you don’t want people in dangerous situations, obviously. “The history of automation tells us that if anything is dull, dirty, or dangerous, really, you want to automate that,” Jon Gowa, CEO of Bloom Automation, tells Analytical Cannabis. But as the cannabis industry grows into a more mature, responsible sector, many companies are looking to reduce their reliance on such tedious, tiring work. If thought of as a temporary, intense retreat at the tail-end of summer, a stint as a trimmer can still be a rewarding, novel experience. And given the remote locations of most cultivation operations, any budding trimmer must be comfortable with an all-inclusive, isolated work environment. Callouses, carpal tunnel, and crippled backs can be part and parcel for the job. Sat in a chair for 12-to-16 hours a day, doing nothing but snipping stems and leaves from cannabis buds, workers can quickly feel the toll. While many find value in the job, the day-to-day working life of a trimmer can be exhausting.
