Climate control in greenhouse horticulture is no easy task. As in every industry, computers also play a very important role in water management and growth, nutrition, and climate control for greenhouse construction. However, a standard system is not particularly suitable given the climate in the glass environment. Microtron and HortiMax therefore work closely together in delivering the right solutions, such as a fanless box and panel PC.
Equipment for Greenhouse Horticulture
An entrepreneur who wants to be effective and successful must choose a solution that aligns with their processes. When setting up or adapting control processes in greenhouse horticulture, companies increasingly choose HortiMax. This choice is based not only on this company’s knowledge, but also on the fact that HortiMax has access to a range of specialists it can deploy. When it comes to controlling water management and growth, nutrition, and climate control, the company has entered into a partnership with Microtron, a supplier of industrial computers, electronic components, and network equipment.
Fanless Box and Panel PC
A computer system needed to control a large greenhouse complex must meet various requirements. In this project, the control system had to work in a warm and humid environment without using a fan. To check whether the two installed systems, a fanless box and panel PC, meet requirements, Microtron thoroughly inspects the equipment upon arrival and installs a pre-load and a specially customized BIOS. A buffer stock at Microtron provides even more security, so if additional systems are needed, they can be delivered within 1 or 2 days.
Optimal Conditions
The stability of the system is of great importance for the various greenhouse processes, because when a system fails, this can lead to enormous damage costs. The choice for a precisely fitting solution can therefore easily pay for itself in optimal growing conditions, such as the right amount of light, temperature, humidity level, and oxygen content.
Limiting Risks
The close collaboration between Microtron and HortiMax ensures an efficient supply chain where the focus is on customer satisfaction. New solutions are embraced and as soon as they can provide added value, they come to market. A greenhouse horticulture company that wants to think ahead should therefore definitely explore the possibilities that the two partners have developed. In a world where percentages can make the difference, nobody wants to risk poorly functioning system equipment.
