The “asset performance” module of Hortisense automatically prevents overheating of transformers and electrical panels and actively safe guards power quality. The “light management” module gives real time insight in the amount of light that reaches the crop, both from the sun and from the grow light fixtures. The “maintenance” module gives, among other things, insight in the remaining life time of bulbs and notifies the grower in case of disturbances or deviations in the grow light system.
With Hortisense a grower has full control of his grow light, anytime, anywhere. It increases the efficiency of the grow light installation and secures the operational reliability of the electrical equipment. Hortisense increases the yield per m2, without separate systems. Hortisense combines all relevant information on grow light processes and the grow light system in one clear, digital platform.
