Wireless sensors | For more insight & control

Introduction

More insight & control thanks to wireless monitoring

Wireless sensors are a useful addition to regular measurements in the greenhouse. The extra data gives you more insights and opportunities to improve your cultivation strategy. With Priva-Aranet wireless sensors, all measurements are visible in one environment. This reduces the risk of making mistakes in your analyses. What’s more, you can integrate wireless measurements into your climate computer’s controls, which allows automatic control based on all your greenhouse measurements (wired and wireless).

Why use wireless sensors

As greenhouse horticulture becomes increasingly complex, minor disruptions in crop conditions can impact significantly on the crop result. There is therefore a growing need to have more control over the climate in every square meter of the greenhouse. Wireless sensors will help you achieve just that. Plus, they are affordable and easy to install and move around.

An integrated solution

To help you meet every challenge you encounter as a grower, we work with various partners. One of these partners is Aranet, an expert in wireless sensors for horticulture. Integrating Priva-Aranet wireless sensors into your Priva system allows automatic crop control based on your measurements. You can use multiple measurements as input for a control strategy, for example, with the option to use minimum, average, or maximum readings. This enables you to match your climate and irrigation even more effectively to the crop and avoid risks that impact on production quality.

The data from the Priva-Aranet sensors is clearly displayed in Priva Operator, our online application for remote climate, water, and energy management. In your dashboard and graphs you can analyze data and obtain new insights. The measurements are, of course, also available in Priva Office Direct.

Gain more control

Having extra data from your crop production facility will help you improve your control strategy.

Broad portfolio of sensors

Including for measuring temperature, humidity, PAR, plant temperature, soil moisture content, and CO2.

More insight into your production operations

Integrating sensor and greenhouse data will give you more in-depth analysis opportunities.

No manual intervention needed

Measurements integrate automatically with the controls in your Priva process computer.

Software requirements for Connext and Compact CC

Integration of wireless sensors in Priva controls requires Priva Connext version 914.02 and Priva Compact CC version 814.02 or higher.

Priva Connected service package

To use this integrated solution in Operator, you will need Priva Connected: the service package that includes essential services and online applications, such as Operator, to manage your greenhouse remotely.
