Smart vertical farming in big cities
Cost-efficient and intuitive monitoring of nutrient supply
Big cities around the world are getting crowded which puts pressure not only on living space but also on agriculture. Thanks to vertical farming cultures,it is possible to grow fresh vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce even in small spaces in big cities all over the globe.
Optimal dosing of nutrients allows operators to save money and generate the highest possible product yield in the vertical farm. The monitoring of pH and conductivity values is crucial.
Benefits
Space-saving and easy installation to occupy as little space as possible
The Memosens Technology guarantees secure data transmission and high measuring point availability
Simple monitoring of the measured values with a smartphone
Liquid analysis in smart vertical farming racks
The racks are supplied with nutrient solutions to ensure optimal growth
In many cities, space is limited and fresh vegetables need to be grown in the tightest of spaces. The biggest challenge is to supply the plants with an ideal amount of nutrients to keep costs low without reducing the product yield. The excess plant nutrient solution is collected and processed for reuse. In this step, both the pH value and the conductivity of the medium, must be analyzed in order to meet the quality requirements.
How does Endress+Hauser helps to boost your vertical farming
To ensure a comprehensive monitoring of processes, measuring systems are equipped withliquid analysis sensors for pH and conductivity and Liquiline Compacttransmitters. Liquiline Compact CM82 transfers the measured values to the SmartBlue app, enabling easymonitoring of the processes andintuitive sensor calibration via acommon smartphone or tablet. Thanks to the Plug and Play function and Memosens Technology, thesensors can be connected andexchanged easily via plug connection.
