- Allows for full dimming for Philips toplighting compact in greenhouses
- Enables growers to plan and automate light recipes one year ahead and to control the grow lighting through their climate computer or greenhouse management system
- Results in lower manual labor costs and improved operational efficiency
Growers, like the Italian vertical farm Planet Farms, and the Belgium greenhouse De Glastuin, are already using the expanded system providing additional value within their growing facility. “Using the GrowWise Control System is ideal for us,” says Luca Travaglini, co-founder of Planet Farms. “We want to automate as many aspects of our operations as possible to become more cost efficient. Now we can easily create custom light recipes and set them to run year-round to provide the right light recipe with the right light intensity at the right time throughout the crop’s growth cycle. By automating our full light strategy during the growth cycle, for the whole year, we can run our operations very efficiently and keep our manual labor costs low. That makes it easier for us to maintain consistent quality as we scale up our production.”
