Eight compartments, one goal: growing the best possible carnations

Every compartment needs a different climate 

Divine Flowers is one of the few carnation growers in the Netherlands. Different carnation varieties grow across eight compartments, each in its own crop stage. In winter, for example, young carnations get a different climate than older plants. 

“Crop quality comes first. Irrigation and LED play a key role in that.” 

For Bas, that means a lot of settings and a lot of information to keep an eye on. He wants to see quickly what's going on and adjust right away. And once something is set right, he wants to walk away with peace of mind. 

“Once the P band is set correctly, for example, we don’t have to worry about it anymore.” 

Act on insights right away 

Bas usually works from his desktop in the office. Still, the crop needs attention every day, and sometimes an idea comes to him right in the middle of the greenhouse. At that moment, he wants to check and act immediately. 

That's where Priva One helps. He opens it wherever he is, checks a setting and adjusts it on the spot if needed. So he takes action at the moment it matters. 

A dashboard that fits the way he works 

Every grower looks at the crop in their own way. Bas wants to decide for himself what he sees and how he sees it. He wants irrigation, climate and the other parameters he checks often neatly grouped together. 

In Priva One, he builds his own dashboards for that. The system adapts to the way he works. “You can set it up exactly the way you want. You decide what to display and how you want to see it.” 

Need a different view or extra insight? He sets it up himself, in no time. 

Less repetitive work 

Eight compartments can easily mean doing the same work eight times. With Priva One, Bas sees all his compartments at a glance and easily copies a setting to another compartment. “You have everything together in one overview. If you want to change or copy something, it's done in no time.” 

Charts work the same way. He creates them once and then uses them for multiple compartments. 

“You create a chart once and can then use it for other compartments too. That's much easier and faster.” 

In winter, Bas works with compartments of young and older plants, each needing its own climate. Crop steering in Priva One makes this easy to manage. He groups compartments by crop and controls climate and irrigation for each group at once. Any setting he changes applies instantly to every compartment in that group. He also reviews results per group, so he sees right away whether everything is on track and keeps growth uniform across each group. 

Access tailored to each role 

Bas doesn't do it alone. His colleagues each have their own tasks in the greenhouse. With Priva One, he gives them access to exactly the parts they need. A colleague who handles the lighting can view the LED settings and get to work right away. 

More time for the crop 

At the end of the day, it all comes down to one thing for Bas: a strong crop. Priva One gives him overview, freedom and speed, in the office and in the middle of the greenhouse. So he stays on top of every compartment, and his attention goes to the carnations.
