IIVO's intelligent revolution in horticulture

In horticulture, a game-changing shift is occurring from traditional practices to a future defined by food resilience, data security, cross-sectoral innovations, and sustainable foot printing. Urgently needed for the sector is an intelligent innovation strategy guiding the transition from A: traditional methods to C: Highly productive growing facilities that are sustainable, resilient, and intelligent. This journey is exemplified by the integration of Hoogendoorn Growth Management’s Intelligent Algorithms, playing a key role in steering the industry towards efficiency, sustainability, and technological advancement.

A: The changing face of horticulture

Historically, horticulture relied on manual labour, green fingers, and conventional growing techniques. This approach, while effective to some extent, lacked the precision and efficiency needed to address the complexities of the modern horticultural industry. The global demand for food, coupled with the need for sustainable horticultural practices, has required a departure from the status quo. Horticulture is now leading the way in a technological revolution.

B: Transitioning with Data Driven Growing

Since 2018 companies like Hoogendoorn have pioneered with Data Driven Growing technologies that leverage data analytics and machine learning to optimize every aspect of horticultural management. This ensured real-time monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and precise control over environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light.
As horticulture embraced the concept of Data Driven Growing, the sector is now ready for the transition to the next step: Highly productive growing facilities, which are sustainable, resilient and intelligent. This is where the Intelligent Algorithms software for the IIVO process computer of Hoogendoorn comes in.
