Autonomous control isn't a distant promise. It's a proven, data-driven approach that's helping growers save time, reduce variability, and focus on what matters most: crop quality and strategic growth. Here are four things you might not know about how it works — and why it's already making a difference.
It's a proven solution for a persistent challenge
Managing greenhouse climate and irrigation manually is a balancing act. External conditions shift constantly: radiation, ventilation, humidity, and temperature all play a role. The climate computer offers endless possibilities but configuring it correctly and adjusting it continuously is very time-consuming.
Growers know this better than anyone. They've developed strategies over years of experience, often tailored to specific crops, greenhouse setups, and local conditions. But even the most refined manual approaches don't always translate across different varieties, seasons, or locations. What works in one greenhouse might underperform in another — and copy-paste solutions often fall short.
Crop Controller solves this by making strategy scalable and adaptive. It doesn't just automate tasks; it interprets your crop plan and continuously adjusts climate and irrigation settings based on real-time data and predictive models.
And importantly, it helps reduce variability; the kind that disrupts consistency in greenhouse operations. Fluctuations in temperature, humidity, CO₂ levels, irrigation timing, and water distribution can arise from changing weather, manual adjustments, or system limitations. These inconsistencies often lead to uneven crop development, increased energy use, and reactive decision-making.
By continuously optimizing setpoints based on real-time data and crop-specific strategies, Crop Controller ensures stable conditions and predictable outcomes across different zones and growth stages.

Turning grower strategy into autonomous action
Crop Controller isn't built on generic AI. It's powered by crop growth models, weather predictions, and sensor data, all grounded in decades of horticultural research. From temperature to CO₂ levels, its algorithms reflect the same statistical foundations growers have used for years — now scaled with computing power.
This isn't about replacing expertise. It's about executing your strategy with precision, adapting to real-time conditions, and eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments.
Autonomous control works with you
Once activated, Crop Controller continuously adjusts setpoints for heating, ventilation, screening, and irrigation; autonomously and all based on your crop plan and greenhouse conditions. It doesn't require major hardware changes. It integrates seamlessly with your climate computer and supports you with clear insights and recommendations through your personal autonomous greenhouse manager (AGM).
Its three core modules: Climate Control, Irrigation Control, and the Strategy Optimizer, work together to support stable growth, efficient water use, and long-term planning.
