Greenhouse
It is important to maintain the right conditions in a greenhouse for plant growth. There are parameters like temperature, humidity and lux that should be monitored continuously. Any deviations should be reported immediately to fix the conditions. We would also like to view the conditions of multiple greenhouses on one dashboard.
Automation can help data analysis by doing automatic computations and distributing the reports to all stakeholders. Yuktix IoT devices come with soil moisture, Lux, Temperature and humidity sensors. Yuktix GidaBits platform helps you manage multiple greenhouses and run reports. The platform can also send alerts in real time on phones to warn of bad conditions.
Features
Receives alerts for critical conditions. Get a SMS when temperature or humidity drops below a point.
Yuktix IoT devices uses research grade sensors for accurate measurements.
Receive reports spanning data from multiple greenhouses daily in your email
Receive alerts when soil moisture crosses field capacity or wilting point so irrigation can be started or stopped at the right times.
Receive irrigation calendar on the GidaBits® app together with water & soil expert advice for your crop.
Get early warning for diseases using the micro weather data captured from Yuktix IoT devices. Reduce the cost of high contact fungicide and sprays.
How it works
The components of greenhouse solution are
IoT devices with sensors
Yuktix IoT devices can send data to a remote server at customized intervals. The intervals can be from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. The IoT device can measure temperature, humidity, Lux and soil moisture in a greenhouse setup.
GidaBits cloud
GidaBits cloud provides storage for the sensor's data. The growers can access the sensor data together with out of the box computations from GidaBits cloud dashboard. The data can be accessed from anywhere, 24x7. The cloud also provides algorithms on the same data to find information like disease probability, spray timings and water requirements of the plants. The cloud also has a notification system for sending alerts.
GidaBits app
The GidaBits app provides a way to have an eye on your greenhouse all the time. The app can show conditions of multiple greenhouses on one screen. The app can also receive notifications and expert consultations.

Case Studies
Automate the process of light hours (artificial lightning) required for the gerbera flower for its proper and full growth
Chrysanthemum during shoot level when called mums require precise humidity range and if not maintained, there is loss of at least 13% of mums. We deployed our GidaBits nodes across various chambers to monitor and control(using sprinklers) the humidity.
