CREATE ENVIRONMENTS FOR SUCCESS
Crops can be fragile things and, like humans, respond well in great conditions. Greenhouse automation lets you tailor an environment for your crops that can offer reactive solutioning to outside influences that may otherwise jeopardize the yield of your crops.
WATER RIGHT EVERY TIME
Manually watering means it can be easy to overwater or underwater your plants. To be accurate you would need to stick to a good schedule to make sure there were no inconsistencies. Ensure accuracy by setting a schedule which can be adjusted based on type of crop, quality, yield and local weather station parameters.
REGISTERING YOUR RUN-OFF
Your water run-off can tell you about the health of your plant. Depending on the type of crop, growth stage and grow method your run-off varies, but may be kept around 20%.
An automated greenhouse control system uses sensors to monitor and measure your run-off for you. The data gathered can then be used to ensure compliance with local legislation if required and give you an accurate measurement of expenditure.
TAKE OUT THE GUESSWORK
Because of the limitations of having to manually control all the variables that can affect your plants and therefore your yield, we advise a good controller for your greenhouse. This will take the guesswork out of the job.
A great automation system will also monitor your climate, your rootzone, send alerts when there’s a problem and allow you to manage everything by remote access on any device.
COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR ENVIRONMENTS
Depending on the size, type and structure of your greenhouse; a good system will manage factors like:
vents
heating
cooling
lighting
temperature
CO2
irrigation
roof (if it's retractable)
