We've been offering it since 2008, but since the introduction of the battery-powered ventilated sensor, the Wireless Value climate system can be used year-round. Meanwhile, many growers are gaining experience with the climate sensors, and measurements are now being taken in both the horizontal and the increasingly popular vertical plane.

Homogeneous greenhouse climate

For energy balance, it's crucial that the climate is as consistent as possible. You can't monitor this with a single climate box on your climate computer. By installing wireless sensors in various locations throughout the greenhouse, you can see real differences emerge. One of the major advantages is that this allows you to refine your ventilation and screening strategies, for example. At which screen position do you see differences emerge, and how can you improve the homogeneity of the greenhouse climate under varying conditions?

Understanding the vertical plane

For vegetable crops like tomatoes and cucumbers, vertical measurements are now also frequently taken. Ventilated sensors are useful for measuring temperature variations at the substrate size, the fruit, the top, and above the screen. This provides significant insight into the plant's experience over a 24-hour period. What is the influence of irradiance and irradiance? How does the plant feel during the lighting period, and what impact does a dehumidification system have on the temperature and relative humidity within the crop?

The online portal clearly illustrates this process and the effects of certain actions. The sensors are easy to drag to their installed location in the greenhouse, turning your online dashboard into a digital replica of your greenhouse. The wireless sensors are easy to install and move, offering the flexibility to monitor different parts of a greenhouse without the hassle of wiring. This allows you to gather the right information where needed to optimize your crop.
