When it comes to greenhouses, they are a great protection from adverse weather conditions, but what many don’t realize is that outside factors have a significant impact on what’s happening to your plants inside the greenhouse.
There are optimal conditions that plants thrive in and finding that sweet spot can be tricky when you consider all the environmental variables including light and solar radiation, wind, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity as well as rain and precipitation. Create the ideal environment for your plants with an automated greenhouse.
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.
Take out the guesswork
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.
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.
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.
What are the overall benefits of an automated greenhouse?
The overall benefits of automating your grow operation are vast and plentiful. Regardless of how you’re looking to develop your growing enterprise, automation offers universal benefits that allow you to achieve your goals - and then some.
- Decrease your labor costs - By reducing the amount of manual work, you decrease labor costs and free up workers to focus on other areas of importance. Perfect if you are looking to expand your business or introduce new skills to your workers.
- Be accurate - Know exactly what’s happening in your greenhouse and make data driven decisions based on facts and not assumptions. The technology and equipment exist to benefit you as the grower!
- Increase quality and yield - If you don’t measure you can’t improve. Automation will give you the knowledge to increase quality and yield, learn from previous crop cycles, and give you better return on investment (ROI).
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)
