With the integration of Strategy Optimizer into Crop Controller, growers gain a comprehensive tool that combines climate and crop planning, climate and irrigation steering, and production reports and outlooks in one easy-to-use platform. This new, powerful planning tool helps you monitor and adjust your crop strategy throughout the entire cultivation cycle, ensuring precision at every stage of growth.
Optimizing Day-to-Day Operations with AI-Driven Precision
Strategy Optimizer allows growers to focus on their overall crop strategy and cultivation process, while Crop Controller’s, AI-driven, climate & irrigation control system manages the day-to-day operations on 5-minute level, 24/7. By aligning climate control with the grower’s goals, this integration optimizes all aspects of the greenhouse environment to deliver the best results.
Key Features of Strategy Optimizer for Crop Strategy Improvement
With Autonomous Growing, smart algorithms continuously analyze data to execute the grower’s strategy and ensure optimized results. Here are the key features that Strategy Optimizer brings to Crop Controller:
- Planning | For every new crop, Strategy Optimizer generates a climate and crop plan using best practices from existing data. It predicts factors like plant load and plant energy needs. The Energy Balance Module tracks energy usage throughout cultivation, helping growers identify periods of surplus or deficit and adjust their plans accordingly.
- Register & Monitor | Throughout the crop cycle, Strategy Optimizer displays key climate averages, helping growers track the effects of Crop Controller on a daily and weekly basis. The Crop Registration Module allows growers to log crop development parameters, giving them a complete view of the crop’s progress.
- Short-Term Outlook | Strategy Optimizer combines past crop and climate data with upcoming plans to provide a short-term outlook. This includes updated energy balances and yield forecasts, helping growers anticipate what’s to come in the next few weeks.
Extended Value of Autonomous Growing with Strategy Optimizer
The integration of Strategy Optimizer enhances the overall value of Autonomous Climate and Irrigation Control, offering growers the ability to:
- Reuse Best Practices | Strategy Optimizer allows growers to access templates from previous successful crop cycles. They can compare them across different locations, making it easy to replicate strategies that worked well in the past and bringing confidence and peace of mind.
- Avoid Mistakes | Small errors can have significant impacts on crop yield. Strategy Optimizer links day-to-day control with the broader crop strategy, allowing growers to monitor daily performance and compare results week-over-week, ensuring that every action aligns with the overall crop plan.
- Structure Decisions | With a clear strategy in place, growers can make informed decisions throughout the crop cycle. By aligning expectations for yield and labor requirements with the needs of the greenhouse, growers can optimize both crop management and labor efficiency.
Conclusion: Strategizing and Steering for Better Results
Integrating Strategy Optimizer within Crop Controller provides growers with a powerful, data-driven approach to improving precision, efficiency, and long-term crop management. By combining refined planning with AI-powered climate and irrigation control, you can achieve better yields, optimized resource use, and a more predictable cultivation process.
