Advantages of climate control
technologies
Climate
control
supports
the
complete monitoring and control of
greenhouse processes to create the
optimal climate for plants. Intelligent
sensor techniques in shades and
blinds, lighting, in-floor heating, and
window cooling help commercial
growers care for their crops with limited resources and minor human
interference.
Climate control technology offers the following benefits:
The potential to cultivate out of season, resulting in greater yields
Savings in irrigation water
Reduced risk of damage related to unfavorable climatic factors
Prevent energy, nutrients, and water wastes
Improve growing precision through accurate control
Improve efficiency and save resources
Ensure higher crop quality
Better ventilation, humidity, radiation, temperature, and CO2 levels
Better pest and disease control
Better data-driven decisions that help reduce human errors and
wastage
Many
greenhouse
control
systems
rely
on
central
computers that are connected
to
sensor
sets by data
acquisition
systems.
These
systems
feature
communication protocols such
as
USB,
RS-232,
radiofrequency, and others.
Greenhouse automation systems allow users to control everything with the
touch of a button or set it on auto and let it adjust itself. When used
correctly, these technologies help increase production output and product
quality with as minimal effort as possible.
