Irrigation scheduling
Root-zone moisture, temperature and salinity, resolved to one instruction per block: irrigate, hold or inspect.
Soil moisture (VWC) · Soil temperature · Soil salinity (EC) · Flow · Line pressure

BerryYield
Higher marketable yield. Less water. Earlier detection.
Root-zone soil sensors schedule irrigation. A field weather station warns of frost. Leaf-wetness models flag grey mould risk, and camera traps count pests daily. The agronomist receives a daily plan; buyers receive proof of quality.
Operational question
“Irrigate block B-3 today, or defer?”
Constraints we address
- Irrigation follows habit: some rows run dry, others are over-watered.
- Frost, heat and rain events arrive at night or at weekends.
- Grey mould (Botrytis) and other diseases establish before symptoms are visible.
- Pests are scouted by eye, often after the damage is done.
- A failed pump, filter or valve goes unnoticed, and rows go without water.
- Cold-chain excursions shorten shelf life and trigger buyer disputes.

Modular by design.
02
Frost and heat warning
An in-field weather station calls or sends an SMS ahead of frost or heat, with time to cover, heat or ventilate.
Air temperature · Relative humidity · Wind · Rainfall · Solar radiation
03
Disease risk models
Leaf-wetness duration and canopy temperature drive infection models for grey mould and other fungal diseases. Spray or ventilate before symptoms appear.
Leaf wetness · Canopy temperature · Relative humidity · Infection risk model
04
Automated pest traps
Sticky and pheromone traps with cameras count insects daily and send an image. Degree-day models anticipate the next generation.

05
Greenhouse climate
Temperature, humidity, CO₂ and light on one dashboard, with optional control of vents, screens and irrigation.
Temperature and humidity · CO₂ · PAR light · Substrate moisture · Vent and door position
06
Cold chain
Temperature and humidity from packhouse to buyer. Every excursion traceable.
Cold room temperature · Humidity · Door open · Power failure · Reefer tracker
BerryYield delivery
Four stages. Each one stands alone.
Every stage delivers a defined output. You decide whether to proceed.
