IT for greenhouse horticulture: learn more

The detail, topic by topic: how we approach it in practice.

Process network

Greenhouse and office apart, but in one overview

On many sites the network has grown over the years. A new section was added, an extra grading line, a camera at the entrance. As a result the climate control, the office PCs and visitors' phones sometimes end up on the same network. We start by mapping all of that calmly.

Then we separate the greenhouse and process network from the office network. Each part gets its own space and its own rules, so a busy moment or a problem in the office never reaches your climate control. For you it stays one whole: a single overview shows how the entire business is doing. And because a greenhouse is large and often humid, we make sure the network and wifi hold up right to the back of the greenhouse and throughout the shed.

Growing windows

Maintenance that moves with your crop

In horticulture you want to avoid an update at the wrong moment. That is why we schedule maintenance only within the growing windows we agree together, and work on growing systems always in consultation with the supplier. During a sensitive stage of your crop, everything stays as it is.

Backups of your climate computer settings and firmware updates are arranged in consultation with the supplier. When a crop-critical fault affects climate, irrigation or fertigation, we follow up outside office hours too and call in the supplier. So there is someone you can count on at night and at weekends.

Suppliers and seasons

One point of contact, also for your horticultural suppliers

A growing business works with many specialists: the supplier of the climate computer, the installer of the energy system, the builder of the grading line. We are their fixed point of contact. We coordinate work and give suppliers secure remote access, only to their own systems and only when it has been agreed.

At the height of the season extra people often join, in the greenhouse and in the shed. Network, accounts and devices move with that, and seasonal invoicing is possible. For medium-sized and large businesses in the food chain, NIS2 may apply. We help with measures and documentation through Smart Compliance, as a partner that is itself ISO 27001 certified.
