Smart Agriculture Applications
Greenhouses, plant growth, crop yields, mushroom farms, animal shelters, controlled atmosphere (CA) cold storage, seed storage, growth chambers, there are multiple smart agricultural applications, with a very wide range of possibilities thanks to our precise and auto-calibrated gas sensors and our all-in-one IoT devices, the air quality stations.
Very strict regulations are often applied in greenhouses, farms and industries with industrial guidelines that are here for accelerating the growing process, to prevent any contamination and guaranteeing no health issues for consumers by preserving the highest quality of end products.
Even if a plant has the perfect amount of light, water and nutrients, the limiting factor in the photosynthesis process will be the amount of carbon dioxide available. After spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to create the perfect growing environment, only a real-time CO2 monitor ensures your plants actually have the right amount of CO2. An optimal amount of CO2 have many benefits such as larger fruit size, more fruit, reduced growing time and average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent.
Our Solutions
Our years of research on air quality and pollution in outdoor and indoor locations helped us develop several solutions including our most effective, NDIR gas sensors which can be adapted to any type of environment or integrated into new products for specific actions.
We identified NDIR sensors as the most reliable and cost-effective gas sensors to be applied for agriculture and industry domains.
Our solutions for Agricultural industry goes from process control of the CO2 / CH4 / Humidity / Temperature, monitoring air quality, detect agricultural methane emissions and assessing safety over an area.
The devices can also be used to detect incipient spoilage and to assess and optimize CO2 and other gas levels in modified-atmosphere packages and storage structures.
The increasing demand for yield in these areas for the past decade has shown that the measurement of CO2 in the field of agriculture has undoubtedly become a necessity.
