Automation

Automation in horticulture 

Horticultural automation helps greenhouse operations optimize and control the growing conditions of the crop. With the right climate computer and associated hardware and software, you gain insight into and control over the desired growing conditions in the greenhouse, water management, energy management and labor processes within the greenhouse operation. Automation in horticulture improves crop quality, optimizes production and reduces water, energy and labor costs. You have real-time access to important and up-to-date data on greenhouse climate, light intensity, irrigation, CO2, and energy consumption. Growers can use the climate computer to precisely control the growing conditions and respond quickly to changing external conditions.

Stolze collaborates closely with Priva and Hoogendoorn, specialists in advanced climate computers for sustainable water, climate and energy management. Their technology helps growers work more efficiently and protect the environment. Together we strive for innovative and sustainable solutions for horticulture.

“Horticulture automation makes the grower’s life easier. The climate computer can monitor and control all relevant technical processes from a mobile phone, laptop or tablet. Including climate, light, irrigation and, for example, CO2.”

Solutions

Automation in horticulture has many benefits. It optimizes, accelerates and improves the processes in a horticultural business. Automation can be applied in various areas and various ways. Stolze advises growers on the right approach and implementation.

Stolze Connected is a supplement to the Priva subscription Priva Connected. As a full service partner of Priva, we ensure that the software is installed properly and maintained with annual updates.
Stolze offers solutions ranging from complex energy issues to small energy-saving measures. Effective energy management has many smart sustainable solutions to save energy, to make it more sustainable and to store it.
Priva FS Performance is an advanced management information system that provides insight into business processes, employee productivity and the volume and quality of production. The result: more control over the production process, a better harvest forecast and savings on labor costs.
Optimal regulation of the various water flows in a greenhouse farm and the correct dosing of fertilizers are crucial for the growth of a healthy crop. With a smart and balanced water management system, we create the best recirculating water flow for every type of greenhouse and each crop.
Horticultural sensors inside and outside the greenhouse collect reliable data as a starting point for the appropriate greenhouse climate. The collected climate data is then used by the climate computer to optimise light, temperature, humidity and CO2 concentration, among other things.
The climate computer, or process computer, is the basis of all automation in a greenhouse farm. Priva’s and Hoogendoorn's different types of climate computers are easy to operate, provide real-time insight into the greenhouse data, can be remotely controlled and offer maximum security.

More about horticulture automation

The automation of processes differs from horticulture business to horticulture business. The size of the company, the needs of the grower, the type of greenhouse and crop, available technology and systems all play a role. Stolze delivers tailor-made solutions and is eager to collaborate with you.
