In October 2020 , Hoogendoorn Growth Management infix their new showpiece : the IIVO . " It was in the heart of the pandemic , after ten year of developing , " says sales director Kevin Spoelder .
acquire the Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge in 2020 coincide with GreenTech that year , a expert time to present the new climate computing machine . However , for reasons now generally known , the exposition was cancel and the demonstration of the IIVO , via an on-line launching event , was postponed for a few month .
Now , a year has gone by and more than 100 copies of the IIVO have been rescue . " We are very proud of that . " But where does that need come from ? What is so different about the IIVO compare to late climate computers ?
Kevin explains : " If you face at industrial automation , solidity and dependableness are very important . Of course , those are indeed very of import , but the customer experience has also changed enormously over the last fifteen years , since the arrival of the first iPhone . Our forerunner , the iSii , dates from the same period . Users now have much higher demands for technology . "
Built from scratchFor this reason , Hoogendoorn build the system from slit . " That way , we are ready for the next fifteen year . " The ' look ' of the raw electronic computer , as Kevin discover it , is contemporary . The production really feels like a modern bit of engineering science , comparable to the latest earpiece and tablets .
' Under the hood ' , too , they were able-bodied to rebuild everything . " This allow us to take into account new developments in the food market , such as information - driven cultivation . We were also able to build in communication with all kinds of new chopine and sensing element ; for exercise , you’re able to put cultivation strategies into the organisation from LetsGrow.com . " In plus , the organization can be update completely on-line , without the need for someone to physically see a farm .
The arrangement can be used for all kind of crops : from tomato plant to orchids , from capsicum to lettuce . What help here is that you’re able to run your own ' cultivation recipe ' on the estimator . " From day 0 in naturalize , you may prepare all kinds of setting in succession for H2O , clime , energy , and so on . The figurer break away this cycle mechanically , and when it is finished , you may start the summons again . In this way of life , you build up a depository library of preferences . "
The principles of Plant Empowerment , whereby the plant remain in balance , are also ' baked into ' the system of rules . Kevin : " The plant balance are also made transparent in the system . This can be done , for example , via an RTR graphical record - the proportion between temperature and radiation . In this direction , you may set the required temperature on the basis of the weather prognosis , which is why the atmospheric condition prognosis is also integrated into the system ’s control . "
