GrowWise smart spectrum: saving energy or boosting crop growth
Two growers, two GrowWise smart spectrum strategies
The Netherlands
Discover how Botany Group and Wim Peters Kwekerijen use GrowWise smart spectrum to automatically optimize light spectra to reduce energy consumption, and improve crop performance based on real-time sunlight conditions.
The cucumber plants looked exceptionally strong while GrowWise smart spectrum automatically optimized energy efficiency throughout the cultivation period.
With just a few clicks, we achieved around 2% more light on the crop without exceeding our planned power budget.
Customer challenge
Botany Group wanted to reduce energy consumption in its all-electric cucumber greenhouse without compromising crop growth or light output. At Wim Peters Kwekerijen, the goal was different: maximize available growth light within the existing power budget to support a stronger tomato crop and further optimize production performance.
Solution
Both growers used Philips GrowWise smart spectrum to automatically adjust the lighting spectrum based on real-time solar radiation. At Botany Group, the system prioritized energy-efficient spectra to reduce electricity use. At Wim Peters Kwekerijen, smart spectrum freed up energy for additional red growth light, leading to stronger crops while staying within the planned power budget.
