2023: Announcement of Greenhouse Capacity Monitoring System

On May 19, 2023, the E-CABINET plant announced the development of a system for monitoring production facilities for greenhouses. The technology is able to "calculate" even 1 extinguished phytocouple out of 180,000.

Greenhouse Capacity Monitoring System

As reported, in May 2023, a greenhouse boom begins in Russia. Import substitution has reached food: about a quarter of vegetables and fruits in Russia are imported. According to authorities, greenhouse areas in the regions will expand in the coming years. In 2022, the country's agro-industrial complex showed an indicator of growth - about 5%. According to the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, 1.6 million tons of greenhouse vegetables were put on the market. By 2030, this figure is expected to rise to 1.8 million tons. To regularly produce a quality product, greenhouse managers think about modern technologies. 

Greenhouse Capacity Monitoring System

E-KIPK developed a special system for monitoring production capacities by order of one of the closed-type greenhouses for growing microgrowth. Sunlight for her was imitated by 180,000 phytosweets: 2 for each tray. The uninterrupted operation of lamps is extremely important for these plants. The "daylight" day is big enough for them - 12-15 hours. And in low light, photosynthesis slows down, the stems grow pale, weak, smaller than under optimal conditions.

Greenhouse Capacity Monitoring System

For three months, E-KIPK employees developed a special sensor and packed it into two electric cabinets of the greenhouse. Signals from them were collected and processed by software servers. The system analyzed the operation of the equipment to reveal even a slight deviation of the data from the usual readings. Thus, during the tests, the "smart filling" of the electric cabinets reacted and found 1 out of 180,000 phytosetting extinguisher.

Our system has shown that we can track the disconnection of 1 lamp. Even with the little power they had. At the same time, the system of a European competitor understood that something was wrong when as many as 5 lamps were extinguished. The customer could save 15-20% of expenses by applying our solution. told Pavel Cheremisin, director of the plant "E-CABINET"

There are several benefits to this sensitive monitoring. Exposure to light occurs regularly. Greens receive the necessary amount of "sunlight," which is why they grow strong. Uninterrupted lighting minimizes the number of plants per release. All together, this saves from loss of profit.
