Greenhouse planting management depends on it.

On May 10, 2018, the China International Flower Horticulture Exhibition opened grandly in Beijing. Previous flower shows are good opportunities for the industry to exchange information and display products. This year's flower show is no exception, and many cutting-edge technology and equipment have been unveiled at Flower Expo. In these technical equipment, a small, flexible figure caught the reporter's eye-Priva Compass. It is reported that this product will also be displayed at the GreenTech exhibition in the Netherlands.

Priva Compass is a new automatic control system that can accurately control the crop production environment. It can control the steering wheel of greenhouse irrigation, climate, light and energy. Mr. Bram Koppert, General Manager of Priva Group Asia, said that whether it is a plastic multi-span greenhouse grower in Mexico, a simple and efficient solar greenhouse contractor in China, or the owner of a high-tech fully enclosed glass greenhouse in the Netherlands, Priva provides high-quality products, but will provide the best solutions according to the needs of different growers.

Priva Compass can be applied to different users

Two versions, switch at will

There are two basic versions of Compass: 2S and 4S. At the exhibition, the reporter learned that growers can choose the version you need according to the number of measurement and control objects. Compass uses Priva Blue ID C4 controller, that is to say, users can expand it according to various modules, and the installation and debugging of modules and controllers are very simple, which increases the flexibility of operation. Hearing this, I believe that many people who have choice phobia are like journalists. They are a little confused. What if they choose? In fact, there are only three steps to choose the right Priva Compass model: select the theme: irrigation, climate, photosynthesis, water or energy; select the level: basic or advanced; and select the Icord O module required by the device. Then, the perfect solution can be matched.

Compass installation process

Multiple functional modules, self-selection

Compass contains a number of small and flexible hardware and software modules, easy to operate and allows users to monitor the process at any time. Compass software modules include irrigation, climate, photosynthesis, irrigation room and energy control. For small projects, fully functional and flexible, through the functional modularization, users only need to buy their own software modules, affordable yo! So the question is, what modules do you have to choose from in Compass?

Climate module

Environmental conditions are very important for plant growth, and the use of climate modules can easily control and optimize temperature, air humidity and airflow, with which disease risk can be minimized and crops can grow better. Using the basic climate module, users can control the climate of a single working area in the climate zone. The use of the module can be based on two times a day in the greenhouse, equipped with a single temperature and humidity measurement, two sets of vents, two-step cooling, two-step heating, and a curtain. The advanced climate module can fully control the entire crop area. Based on four time periods a day, each work area can install four temperature measurement boxes, control four sets of skylights, a cooling stage, four sets of heat fans, and two layers of curtains. Four temperature sensors, four plant temperature sensors and independent heating systems can also be connected. The advanced climate module fully takes into account the external climate parameters, and has user-defined programs, which greatly improves the flexibility.

Irrigation module

Water is essential to any crop. By using the irrigation module of Compass, growers can optimize the water supply and fertilizer distribution of plants at the right time to achieve the best combination needed by crops. Among them, the basic irrigation module can use a start-up strategy to control up to ten irrigation valves. Start irrigation manually or automatically according to the weekly schedule, irrigation time, average amount of light radiation, or total radiation. The advanced irrigation module can support up to 40 irrigation valves and ten start-up strategies, control a drainage sensor and up to ten humidity sensors to optimize the start-up strategy, and connect up to 40 drain valves.

Photosynthesis module

Photosynthesis is the starting point for all plant growth. Using the Compass photosynthesis module, growers can control and optimize light and carbon dioxide to achieve an optimal balance in the photosynthesis process, resulting in better crop quality and higher yields. The basic photosynthesis module can control a single growing lighting circuit in a system. The advanced photosynthesis module manages up to four lighting circuits. At the same time, the increase of carbon dioxide can be controlled automatically according to high or low radiation levels.

Water module

When crops need irrigation, the water system supplies water. Through the Compass water module, growers can provide accurate water and fertilizer for crops. The basic water module can control a pump and a flow sensor. The advanced water module not only controls pump operation and flow measurement, but also supports up to five fertilization channels. Depending on the flow rate, EC or pH, you can use up to 8 irrigation formulations by adjusting EC, acid, lye, or other liquids. The enterprise water module is based on all the functions of the advanced water module, plus the expansion of three fertilization channels, which can control up to eight fertilization channels at a time. Most importantly, the module supports EC pre-control and can manage up to eight water tanks and one backwash filter.

Energy module

In order to achieve the best climatic conditions, the use of energy is essential. Through the Compass energy module, the grower can control the boiler in the most effective way. The basic energy module can control up to two boiler pumps. The advanced energy module can control not only the water pump, but also the whole boiler. The module can handle up to four boilers and one mixing valve. In addition, the advanced energy module provides user-defined control programs that allow growers to control the energy system in combination with other devices.

"liberate" growers

As we all know, the desktop computer is no longer our only commonly used computing device, with the Compass system, greenhouse growers can also make a free "Phubber" to control your Priva Compass gracefully and easily from PC, tablet or smartphone at any time. Moreover, Priva Group has designed a simple and clear Chinese operation interface for the Chinese market, and is equipped with a clear interface with intuitive dashboards and graphics, so that Chinese users can directly understand the environment in the greenhouse and make it easier to control greenhouse water, fertilizer, climate and energy.
