Wireless sensor data now available in Ridder Hortimax Pro

Wireless Value and Ridder have joined forces to integrate wireless sensor data with the Ridder Hortimax Pro. Growers with a Ridder Hortimax Pro climate computer can use the data from Wireless Value sensors directly.

One dashboard for a complete overview

The integration provides growers with a single dashboard that combines data from both Ridder systems and Wireless Value sensors. This gives them access not only to their regular climate data but also to Wireless Value's detailed temperature and humidity heatmaps. This visual representation shows exactly where the climate conditions are in the greenhouse.

Automate based on real-time data

Wireless Value's real-time sensor data can now be used directly by the Ridder Hortimax Pro climate computer to automate climate responses. Growers gain greater precision and flexibility because their Ridder system can automatically respond to localized changes in temperature or humidity—without manual adjustments.

Benefits for growers

This collaboration offers growers concrete benefits:

✅ One uniform dashboard
All relevant data in one dashboard without having to switch between systems.

✅ Visual insights
Heatmaps show temperature and humidity distribution throughout the greenhouse.

✅ Flexible control
Set your own rules based on specific sensor data.

✅ Faster response
Let the system take action – no manual checks required.

✅ Time saving
No more manual data processing required.

Kees van Vliet, Horticulture Business Development Manager at Wireless Value: “The integration via the Ridder IoT platform gives growers with a Hortimax Pro system direct access to our detailed sensor data. The heat maps offer unique insight into climate distribution, while the ability to create your own control rules provides maximum flexibility. We also continue to develop the integration to integrate data from devices like our scales.”
