Automate With Unitronics To Grow The Best Crops

Award-winning automation products can help growers produce quality hothouse crops in quantity while avoiding errors that can damage plants.

Budding Ambitions

Regardless of crop type or cultivation scale, growers want top-quality produce in substantial amounts while avoiding costly mistakes. Automation enables consistently excellent produce from seed to harvest. Unitronics presents an all-in-one solution for greenhouse control comprising PLC + HMI, I/O, VFD, and programming software.

What Does It Automate?

Light & Dark – Photoperiod Control

• Controlled automation of the dark cycle optimizes the conditions for growing resilient and healthy plants.
• Controlling the Daily Light Integral (DLI) accelerates healthy plant growth.

Climate Control

• CO2 control helps plants thrive by controlling carbon dioxide concentration.
• Humidity control by automatic ventilation avoids damping-off at the seedling stage and mold that can damage plants.
• Temperature control strictly enforces ideal day and night conditions to stimulate plant growth while avoiding fungus and mold.

Irrigation / Fertigation

• Automatic scheduling provides the right amount at the right time.
• Sensors provide feedback to automatically check soil and growth medium, control nutrients and pH, and monitor reservoir level.
• Data tools can collect data and implement pre-determined grow recipes according to stages of plant development.

Energy Use – Be Green

• Ventilation and HVAC can use VFDs to reduce energy demands and save on operating costs.
• VFDs efficiently control motors while keeping environmental conditions close to set-points.

24/7 Connectivity With Your Greenhouse

Remote access enables monitoring via web browser from PC, tablet, or mobile phone. Built-in alarms and alerts can notify users by email or SMS according to predefined rules. Cloud connectivity can leverage Industry 4.0 and IoT technologies such as MQTT, SQL, or UniCloud.
