Grodan has kicked off the new growing season with a new release in e-Gro. As a result of interviews with top growers worldwide and continuous testing, Grodan has increased the focus on optimization in the Production Module and Reports Module.
1) New improvements to the Production Module for better harvest planning
The Production Module is one of the key modules of e-Gro. It captures historical growing data from multiple, other modules in order to generate a yield prediction for the next four weeks. Many users analyze the Production Module to evaluate their set harvest strategy and adjust it when needed. In order to prep you for the new growing season, e-Gro introduces:
- Improved output analysis of the registered production information
- Harvest benchmarking views in the current season
- A new KPI “Fruit Weight”
- Optimized views for total season overview and mobile experience
What’s your benefit?
Thanks to the new, adapted views and new options for harvest registration, you can make better production analyses to see if you’re on track with your chosen harvest strategy. Overview of the new improvements:
- e-Gro can quickly indicate whether there is a significant gap between what you’re planning to harvest and the predicted harvest. The closer these figures are, the better of course.
- The new KPI ‘The Fruit Weight’ will give you more insights into the harvest quality and into the plant balance. Low fruit weight is an important indication of your set plant balance.
- In addition, Grodan also continuously aims to improve the AI-driven Yield Forecaster so all the improvements will give you better insight into your harvest strategy. The latest modifications will help you understand better your planned harvest moments and what is actually harvested. This data is key for optimal harvest prognoses.
- Next to this, via the option ‘Total Season Overview’, you can analyze your planned, actual and prognosed harvest based on your total season overview. As this requests detailed analysis of your harvest cycles, you can only view this option on your desktop or tablet view. The improved user experience of the Production Module on your smartphone meaning the page is optimized for mobile usage.
2) Improved view options in the Reports Module for better growing strategy analysis
Creating a report typically takes hours, multiple software tools, and gathering data from various sources. The Reports Module now captures, saves, and displays all your key information and data in one comprehensive week overview, linked to a specific crop type. No need for Excel or other tools; it’s now all-in-one! With Grodan's new, improved view options you can generate a better analysis of key growing data linked to a specific crop. The data can also be exported to PDF format for printing. The following updates have been implemented in the Reports Module:
- Via the meatball menu, you can print reports, via the printer-icon. Only possible for desktop usage.
- No need to scroll through the whole Reports page and key parameters. You can now select the details linked to a parameter via the new ‘>-icon’.
