What does a plant's weight really tell you? Measuring a plant's weight is more than just showing a graph over time. Understanding a plant's weight development only becomes meaningful when you do something with it and can make connections.

The LC10 wireless crop measurement sensor measures the crop using a load cell capable of measuring up to 10 kilograms. The sensor hangs between the steel wire and the crop hook, measuring the growing crop, primarily fruiting vegetables. The measurement data is transmitted in grams, allowing you to determine accurate weight. 

But how do you take the next step? We collaborate with various parties in the greenhouse horticulture sector to understand the value of the collected data. This demonstrates that combining sensors is crucial for gaining further insight and discovering the impact of certain actions on weight, and how weight, in turn, influences other parameters. 

For example, we created a growth model based on a irradiance sensor. You can display specific values ​​in the online dashboard, such as joules per kilogram of fruit, the percentage of joules needed for fruit growth, and much more. This gives you, as a grower, insight into your expected growth according to this model on a daily basis. The sensors in the greenhouse show actual growth. You can also identify potential plant stress, and the harvest is calculated per sensor.

This information provides you, as a grower, with crucial insights into your cultivation strategy and how to optimize it. It also allows you to monitor and compare different departments. This is valuable information if strategies vary from department to department. This allows you to empirically demonstrate the optimal cultivation strategy.

By handling data intelligently, you go from lightweight to heavyweight and get more out of your greenhouse.
