We reduce the need for constant manual adjustments, ensuring consistent optimal conditions for your crops. With Crop Controller, you can manage more hectares with less effort, achieving higher yields and better resource efficiency while maintaining control and oversight.

Efficient Continuity

Reducing the climate computer tasks for growers by 80%, freeing up time to focus on strategic decision-making and nurturing crops.

Increased Profitability

Delivering a 5% increase in profit and a 7% improvement in yield.

Resource Optimization

Reducing water and fertilizer usage by 10% and energy consumption by 15%.

How Crop Controller works

Crop Controller represents a new approach to daily greenhouse management, moving beyond dashboards and reporting tools. It offers full decision automation, allowing growers to achieve optimal results without constant manual intervention.

By integrating climate and irrigation control, Crop Controller streamlines operations and maximizes efficiency, setting a positive new standard for growing crops.

Optimizing Your Unique Crop Strategy

Your unique crop strategy is the starting point of Autonomous Growing with Crop Controller. Strategy Optimizer, within Crop Controller, enables you to create an improved data-driven crop and scenario planning for the whole cultivation and track crop development.

Data Processing
with AI

Throughout the growth period, AI continuously uses all available data from greenhouse sensors, climate boxes, and meteo-data providers to forecast and optimize the climate and irrigation according to the crop strategy.

Calculating Climate and Irrigation Setpoints

Crop Controller handles execution by calculating climate and irrigation profiles every hour for 3 days ahead on a 5-minute levels. This ensures optimal temperature, radiation, and humidity while maintaining perfect water content levels, drainage, EC, and PH-levels for the full crop cycle.

Autonomous Climate Computer Control

Setpoints for all relevant installations are also calculated on a 5-minute level and sent to the climate computer without human interference. Growers can reduce climate computer work by an impressive 80%.

Autonomous Steering of Installations

Crop Controller autonomously steers the climate and irrigation installations very precise via the climate computer to achieve the targets defined by the grower.

Optimize and
Execute Loop

Connected sensors and slab scales measure climate and root zone conditions. These measurements are input for the continuous, autonomous ‘optimize-and-execute loop,’ ensuring and maintaining optimal plant conditions in the most cost-efficient way.

Crop Controller is trusted by growers around the world

“Crop Controller is aware of our goals and strategy. It optimizes the settings of the climate computer controls continuously and autonomously, and within the specified bandwidth we have determined beforehand. I no longer have to analyze all the data and set the climate computers manually.”

Arie van der GiessenVillage Farms, USA

“Crop Controller makes my job so much easier and helps us oversee it all. We’re steering fully autonomous more than 95% of the time. Crop Controller helped to produce a better product and we had a yield increase of 2,5 to 5 percent because of Autonomous Growing. We like what we see and we want more of it.”

Jake Knelsen & Pete NeufeldVine Fresh Acres LTD, Canada

“ In Mexico we have very specific weather conditions that we need to manage. Crop Controller can adapt to it, helping us achieving our goals. We reduced office time by at least 1.5 hours a day. We had good, strong plants with great colors and produced at least 5% more kilos per m2 because of Crop Controller.”

Manuel Valdes LaraBresca, Mexico
