A Modular and Customizable System Based on the Needs and Wants of Each Grower
Take your greenhouse production to new heights! With the flexibility to control various elements of your operation with one system, delve into the potential of our intelligent technology and elevate your production to the next level.
Temperature
Certain plants need specific temperatures at different times of the day to flourish. The MAXIMUS controller gives growers the ability to have several temperature set points throughout the day. It manages equipment accordingly to monitor the greenhouse temperature and keep it at the requested levels.
Ventilation
With the MAXIMUS system, managing natural or mechanical ventilation has never been easier. Once equipment such as roof vents, side curtains, positive pressure fans or exhaust fans is installed and settings are entered, the controller will automatically operate this equipment to achieve the desired temperature and humidity levels.
CO2 Levels
Plants absorb carbon dioxide so they can use photosynthesis as a source of energy. Enhancing CO2 concentrations within the greenhouse can significantly boost this process. The MAXIMUS controller fine-tunes the levels of CO2 by managing ventilation and CO2 injection, optimizing the environment for plant vitality and growth.
Humidity
Maintaining optimal humidity levels in your greenhouse is important for plant growth. At higher or lower humidity levels, plant physiological processes may slow down, leading to delayed growth and lower quality output. With devices like mist systems, sprinklers and fans, the MAXIMUS controller obtains optimal humidity levels that are key to plant health.
Irrigation
Over or under watering can have damaging effects on plants. To prevent this, the MAXIMUS controller offers the following functionalities and monitoring capabilities:
- Basic irrigation: One irrigation system (pump and valves) for one climatic zone.
- Advanced irrigation: One irrigation system for several climate zones using multiple programs.
- Irrigation cycles based on current weather scenarios.
- Irrigation using tensiometers and soil moisture sensors. Sensors detect and monitor soil moisture levels to automatically start and stop irrigation.
- A timer on the main water valve determines when the water lines will be opened and closed.
- Water meters indicate the volume of water the irrigation lines have received during the day.
- Water pressure sensors send alerts to the grower if there is a problem with any of the irrigation lines.
- Dynamic evaluation of irrigation start time and stop time using sunrise and sunset times.
