Monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2), relative humidity, and temperature sets conditions in greenhouses and vertical farming facilities, as well as inside livestock facilities to a new level of primary agricultural production. Discover our solutions for primary production and agriculture. LEARN MORE Transportation, storage & safety Shelf-life of produce, its freshness, taste and safety for consumption are greatly defined by the transportation and storage conditions. Accurate monitoring and control of temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide ensure proper preservation of food items, timely ripening of fruits and vegetables and seasonal food variety for consumers in different destinations and working safety for storage and production personnel. Discover our solutions for storage, transportation and safety. LEARN MORE Food & beverages processing Here you will find information on how to enable sustainability and efficiency of food and beverages processing. Measure the critical processing parameters such as in-line Brix and dry solids or total solids in liquid food and beverages processing, humidity and dew point in drying processes, and carbon dioxide (CO2) in production and refrigeration facilities, and ensure efficiency and safety of production, eliminate food waste and reduce use of energy. Discover our solutions for food and beverages processing. LEARN MORE Retail & hospitality For maintaining high product quality, productivity, safety and overall well-being of the staff, customers and contractors, and to achieve operational cost efficiency and reduce environmental footprint, food retail needs to be equipped with reliable and stable carbon dioxide monitoring instruments that offer low cost of ownership. For example, refrigerator leakage can be controlled using our probes with a unique certified technology. Discover our solutions for food retail. LEARN MORE Food waste to value The agricultural waste from primary production and food waste from the processing can be used to produce biogas. As by-products of the anaerobic digestion, high nutrient-content fertilizer is received and can be used by farms to replace resource-heavy fertilizers. The biogas, in its turn, can be used to generate electricity and district heating. Moreover, the biogas can be upgraded to fuel-grade biomethane. Discover our solutions for biogas and biomethane production. LEARN MORE Take an extra bite on the topic!
