Why so many growers embrace autonomous control

GreenTech Amsterdam

The need for smart, efficient systems in greenhouse operations has never been greater. Greenhouse growing is becoming more complex due to a shortage of crop expertise, climate changes, sustainability demands, the integration of advanced technologies, and rising expectations for higher yields. Autonomous Climate and Irrigation Control, developed by Blue Radix, addresses these challenges head-on, making greenhouse operations significantly easier while enabling more high-performing greenhouses. Recognized for its impact, Blue Radix won the prestigious GreenTech Innovation Award in 2024 with this solution, reinforcing its leading role in autonomous growing, worldwide. But how does it work and why are more and more growers embracing Autonomous Control?

AI with expert knowledge

Autonomously steering greenhouse installations is a practical application of AI in daily operations. Making processes like climate and irrigation management autonomous, assures accurate, precise and high-frequent actions. Because AI-driven processes do not have any limitation when it comes to process data: the possibilities are endless. At the same time, growing plants is a process where many natural processes come together. However, plant growth involves many natural processes, some of which are difficult to control. That’s why combining AI with expert knowledge of natural growing processes—and clear company and crop goals—is critical. Technology and biology must work together to achieve success.
