Continuous Sensing with dependable results
Traditional greenhouse production systems are based on a mixture of blueprints, ‘green fingers’, emotional perception, regular knowledge of plant physiology and best practices. However, this traditional approach has its limitations: blueprints are only optimal under specific climate circumstances, the human sensory perception can provide limited and misleading information on the plant status. Start using wireless sensors for applying objective observations through measurements instead of human perception.
Sigrow sensors complement human senses to measure what the eye can not see. Thereby optimising the microclimate of your plants to ensure optimal development, growth and quality.
Measures
Leaf temperature & VPD (kPa).
PAR (µmol/m2/s), DLI (mol/d).
Air: Temperature (ºC), Relative humidity (%), Absolute humidity (g/m3), Dew point (ºC).
Solar powered, lithium battery, forced ventilation.
Pixel The Greenhouse Growers Multi-purpose devices
The SiPixel is a sensing solution focussed on the precise monitoring, visualising and steering of the plant light (PAR, DLI), air micro-climate (T air, T dew, RH, AH), leaf temperature and VPD. Based on the measurements decisions can be made up on optimising the micro-climate and stomata opening. Moreover, by monitoring plant temperature and dew point energy can be saved and the occurrence of fungal disease minimised.
Benefits that blow your mind!
The Wait is Over with Real-Time Monitoring
With Pixel you can monitor progress in real-time, make data-driven decisions and get measurable results immediately rather than having to wait till the actual harvest time to see if your “green thumb” was on point – or not!
The Science at Work
The Pixel uses an infrared sensor to measure the leaf temperature. It measures PAR (light useful for photosynthesis) and based on the ventilated air temperature and relative humidity the VPD of the leaf is calculated for controlling the stomatal conductance.
Built with Sustainability and Precision in Mind
The Pixel is an eco-friendly, wireless sensor powered by solar panels and a durable lithium battery to reduce operational energy consumption and negative environmental impact. It’s force-ventilated so gives highly accurate readings for humidity and temperature.
There’s no ambiguity left about what is going on with your plants once you have a Sigrow Pixel setup monitoring and controlling the microclimate.
Stay Ahead of the Competition
Gone are the days when growers depended on intuition alone to make decisions. Modern growers and their clients both need dependable results and uniform yields. Take the cut-flower industry, for instance where uniform flower size and colour are very important. To achieve this, growers need to make informed decisions based on scientific proof which is possible only with sensors.
