Greenhouse Environment Monitoring

Carbon dioxide enhances plant growth. In greenhouses, the growth rate and development of all plants can be improved by controlling CO₂ concentrations. This requires continuous and accurate measurement – an area in which Vaisala excels.

Let’s take a look at some of the places along the food chain where CO₂ is monitored and see how keeping a close watch on it helps to ensure safety, sustainability – and delicious food and drinks. 

Nowadays we’re all more aware of the environmental impact of the food we eat. From food miles – the sometimes huge distances our food travels before it reaches our plates – to the changing climate and the impact that has on agriculture, new solutions are needed to make farming more sustainable so we can continue to feed a growing global population.

Humidity measurement is a key part of many industrial processes. With potentially hundreds or even thousands of measurement points needed, ensuring stable, precise, and reliable measurement is extremely important.

Every minute, data is collected using Vaisala sensor to measure and maintain the conditions most important for plant growth and using that information to build something special for each customer.

In pursuit of higher profits and yields and lower operational costs, many modern greenhouses are turning to climate control companies with sophisticated networks of interconnected sensors and devices to provide real-time, autonomous environmental monitoring.

Scientists at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands have employed Vaisala carbon dioxide sensors in their research greenhouses for over a decade. 

The advancements in technology and techniques available today allow growers to produce more, with greater consistency, while using less energy and resources.
