We’re excited to announce the start of LIT growing optimization in e-Gro. We are aware that LIT growing is a very different type of growing and turning on your lights is pricey and costs extra energy, so we focused on the optimization and personalization of this aspect to ensure you get the maximum out of your harvest. E-Gro helps improve your data by adding the ability to adjust and update your light schedule per day to your specific greenhouse, making e-Gro’s calculations and recommendations more customized than ever. Best of all? You can get started right away. In each module you will see more options to view information based on artificial lighting or natural lighting. E.g. in Reports you’ll see within topic “internal climate’ extra information such as total light period, artificial radiation and total radiation.
What’s your benefit?
Now that e-Gro understands your unique lighting schedule your data will be calculated throughout the rest of your light specific data on all modules, such as time, WC level, EC level, etc, and optimizes the calculations, graphs and recommendations for the best possible results. And this is just the beginning. We look forward to introducing much more specifically for LIT growing!
A popular trend in the Benelux, and becoming increasingly important in other markets, is benchmarking with other companies. To support you in this valuable practice we’ve introduced the feature of advanced comparing. You can now learn from one another and easily see if you’re on the right track. It’s important to note that you are, and will remain, the owner of your data and you have full control. Data security and complete user control is crucial to us. With this new feature you can give and monitor who has access to your data on greenhouse or crop level. You can also see which other e-Gro user has given you access.
What’s your benefit?
Imagine there’s some unregular weather approaching and you want to check in with your neighbor to confirm your strategy. Not only can you check what the other person is doing, but you can also easily benchmark of how you are performing versus others. You can select greenhouse and compare up to three greenhouses.
This new device page provides a complete overview of the status of all GroSens sensors. No more switching between separate applications, you can now see all your actuals renewed every three minutes, all in one place.
What’s your benefit?
The page displays all your GroSens sensors in an easy to find overview. Plus it shows their location, name, serial number, latest readings and when last measured, as well as any potentials errors so you can make better, faster decisions. Do you have an older system with a bridge/smart box? No problem, you can also find this new device page in your e-Gro system and benefit from the same improved device overview.
All these improvements sound nice, but there’s no true benefit if you don’t know how to implement them correctly. At Grodan we want to make sure you, as a user, really understand these valuable features. In order to do so your Customer Success Manager and Green Advisor will contact you personally to discuss the changes and answer any questions you might have. With new features we strive to help you improve your growing strategy, gain better crop growth and better yields. Stay tuned for new releases and improvements to come in December!
