    Getting started

    • Navigating the Platform
      This article explains how to navigate the Control page in Crop Controller, including how to monitor conditions, customize graphs, and adjust strategies.  Overview The Control page provides real-time insights into greenhouse conditions. It opens with measured data from…
    • Key Benefits & Features
      Crop Controller is designed to bring your crop strategy to life. In this article, you’ll learn how it works and how its core modules support you in autonomous greenhouse management. Crop Controller Modules With autonomous growing, you can…

    How it works

    • Data inputs
      This article explains which data inputs are used for Crop Controller and how these are applied. Climate measurements, climate setpoints and installation measurements The algorithms use the climate measurements from the greenhouse to monitor the current state. Climate…
    • Performance KPI
      This article describes three performance KPIs within Crop Controller. These KPIs provide deeper insight into how climate conditions affect the crop over time. Crop Controller autonomously steers installations for climate and irrigation. The KPIs presented here make the…

    • Mollier diagram: Energy Management & Ventilation
      When ventilating a greenhouse, you’re not just exchanging air—you’re exchanging energy. Enthalpy represents the total heat content of air, including sensible heat (temperature) and latent heat (water vapor). The difference in enthalpy between inside and outside air determines:…
    • Mollier diagram: Understanding Temperature & Humidity
      A Mollier diagram is a technical chart used to visualize the thermodynamic properties of moist air. It plots enthalpy (energy content) against absolute humidity, with overlays for temperature, relative humidity (RH), and other air parameters. In greenhouse climate…
    • Plant water balance: uptake and transpiration
      This article describes the principle of plant water balance and the role of transpiration. Water balance The water balance plays a central role in optimizing plant health and productivity. It’s the balance between water uptake by the roots and water…
    • How to create a balanced crop
      This article describes how you can create a balanced crop by managing climate & irrigation factors to steer plant growth. Vegetative growth and generative growth In greenhouses, growers can carefully control plant growth by adjusting factors like light,…
    • Understanding RTR: Ratio Temperature to Radiation
      This article describes the principle of Ratio Temperature to Radiation (RTR) and how it is applied in Crop Controller. What is RTR? RTR is the ratio of average air temperature in the greenhouse to total radiation sum (light…
    • Tomato Crop Registration
      How to standardize crop registrations for a tomato crop Weekly Crop Registration  Key Measurements Stem Density (stems/m2)  In case we use V cultivation system with two stems, we register an increase in the stem density the moment the…
    • Background: Absolute Humidity, Relative Humidity, and Humidity Deficit
      Humidity is a critical factor in greenhouse management, affecting plant transpiration, disease risk, and climate control. But humidity can be measured and expressed in several ways, each offering different insights. This article explains the differences between absolute humidity,…
