Key Benefits & Features

Last update

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 benefit from the power of AI specifically developed for greenhouses. Crop Controller consists of three modules that cover core activities for steering the greenhouse and monitoring the cultivation strategy.

  • Climate control: Autonomous steering of heating, ventilation, and screens. It executes your climate strategy by adjusting setpoints to create stable conditions for plant growth.
  • Irrigation control: Autonomous steering of the irrigation. Based on your strategy, it executes generates setpoints for optimal water supply.
  • Strategy Optimizer: Cultivation planning and crop registration. It enables monitoring crop growth & development.

Key Features and Capabilities

Crop controller utilizes the full potential of the climate computer and eliminates guesswork in greenhouse management. Key features and capabilities:

  1. Intuitive interface: Enter your strategy in the Crop Controller webportal and monitor the results so you stay in control.
  2. Data processing with AI: Crop Controller integrates into the existing greenhouse operations and seamlessly connects with the climate computer without major hardware changes. It continuously adjusts climate settings and irrigation schedules based on real-time and historical data. 
  3. Cultivation principles to improve greenhouse operations: Crop Controller applies proven cultivation principles in the algorithms. It offers practicle guidelines and insights to get the most out of your crop.

The autonomous greenhouse manager (AGM) acts as a virtual expert, supporting growers in decision-making. The AGM shares clear insights and recommendations to improve greenhouse performance with you.
