CONTROLS
Why invest in a control
- Improved crop quality
- Higher yield
- Accurate Temp & RH
- Negative Diff capabilities
- Multiple Sensor Sites
- Control Light, CO2, irrigation
- Reduce energy consumption
- Lower labor costs
- Reduce chemical application costs
- Increase longevity of equipment – Less wear and tear
Integrated Controls
- Highly capable, designed to accommodate any growing situation, large or small.
- Manages light, CO2, irrigation, outdoor sensors
- Fertigation
- Graphing, data logging
- Each piece of equipment has individual settings, allowing it to act independently with greater efficiency
Staged Controls
- Staged controls respond to changes in greenhouse temperature by activating groups or stages of heating and cooling equipment.
- The groups of equipment respond collectively to drive the temperature to the desired value.
- As the temperature moves further from the desired value, additional stages of equipment engage.
