In view of the increasing global demand for food with limited cultivation areas and resources, the optimization of production processes in the horticultural industry is becoming increasingly important.

Hoogendoorn Growth Management relies on innovative technologies to promote sustainable and efficient food production. With the intelligent IIVO greenhouse control system, the company offers a future-oriented solution that can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructures. In order to ensure the operational reliability of the system even in the event of power failures or voltage dips, Hoogendoorn was looking for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that could cope with the demanding operating conditions. Read this application report to find out how power supply specialist Bicker Elektronik overcame the challenge with an all-in-one solution.

Project description: Intelligent control system for greenhouses

The IIVO Control Station is an innovative industrial PC and is installed on site in a control cabinet in the greenhouse. For simplified and optimized management in a controlled growing environment, IIVO is compatible with all industry-standard sensors, intelligent camera systems, irrigation systems and robots. IIVO continuously monitors all relevant factors of the greenhouse environment and automatically controls processes individually to suit the specific needs of the plant culture. For example, the climate conditions, CO2 content and water consumption are analyzed and archived in order to obtain a holistic overview of the greenhouse conditions with the available data and to adapt these individually for the crop being grown.
