One-stop temperature and other multi-factor environmental monitoring solutions for successful greenhouse strawberry seedlings
Lack of real-time monitoring information on environmental factors such as temperature in strawberry greenhouses leading to failure of greenhouse strawberry seedlings? Too many IoT devices for multi-factor environmental monitoring in greenhouse seems not smart enough and hard to manage?
Challenges
Strawberry seedlings in greenhouses, temperature control is key：Greenhouse strawberry cultivation in high-latitude areas like Liaoning, China, or Canada requires precise temperature management. The optimal temperature range is 15-25°C, with germination possible at 5°C. Sprouts can freeze below -7°C and die below -10°C, necessitating careful control to prevent damage from temperature fluctuations.
Humidity and Lighting Management also matter：Maintaining optimum humidity levels (70% soil moisture, adjusted to 60% during flowering and 80% during fruiting) and carefully monitoring light supplementation are critical to maximising strawberry yields and preventing problems with plant and fruit size, especially in high humidity glasshouses and during cold seasons.
With the development of IoT and sensor technology, a wide variety of environmental sensors suitable for use in agricultural greenhouses have been developed. However, sensors from different manufacturers require a lot of manpower for deployment, management, and subsequent maintenance.
See what Seeed can provide：
One device, complete all the greenhouses multi-element environmental monitoring for successful strawberry seedlings:
The device supports multiple measurement elements such as temperature, humidity, light, etc. It also supports up to 10 Modbus RTU RS485 sensor extensions, providing access to most sensor types on the market. If the communication signal is weak or lost, tens of thousands of sensor readings can be cached locally until communication is restored and then uploaded to the server or exported locally, greatly reducing the risk of data loss.
Data management system is equipped（需要软件界面展示配图）：through the system to achieve multi-device management, real-time data unified view analysis, the system also supports the account segmentation management function.
