Octiva builds robotic systems for greenhouse operators, with a stack centered on C++ and Python for real-time control, paired with React and mobile native clients. The company is actively migrating away from Angular and Capacitor while scaling support operations—a hiring mix heavy in support (4 roles) alongside engineering and product suggests they're moving from product-market fit into operational scaling, particularly around documentation and process standardization for international deployment.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Product
Octiva develops robotic labor automation solutions for controlled environment agriculture (CEA) growers. Founded in 2009 and based in Heverlee, Belgium, the company operates as a privately held manufacturer serving mid-market horticultural operations. The product combines embedded robotics (ROS, C++, hardware integration) with cloud and mobile interfaces (React, React Native) for remote operation and monitoring. Current priorities include scaling support infrastructure, improving reliability in greenhouse conditions, and defining repeatable processes to support international expansion across Belgium and the Netherlands.
C++, Python, ROS, Docker, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins for robotics and CI/CD; React and React Native for web and mobile interfaces; Odoo for operations; Git and Jira for development workflow.
