Challenges
Before Sera, Finka faced challenges maintaining optimal humidity levels, including:
- Inconsistent humidity control, leading to periods of plant stress and reduced activity.
- Inefficient misting and venting strategies that wasted resources and compromised crop performance.
- Difficulty balancing irrigation schedules with humidity requirements to maintain a stable climate.
Solution
We implemented advanced humidity management strategies to optimise plant activity:
- Smart Misting: Adjusted misting schedules dynamically based on real-time humidity levels to maintain the ideal balance.
- Targeted Venting: Deployed venting strategies to regulate greenhouse climate without disrupting humidity or temperature stability.
- Optimised Irrigation Scheduling: Aligned irrigation timing with humidity needs, ensuring plants received the right support at the right time.
- Stress Mitigation: Monitored conditions continuously to prevent humidity fluctuations that could cause plant stress.
Outcome
Improved Production: Achieved a 2-3% average production increase by maintaining optimal humidity levels for plant growth.
Why it matters
With precise humidity management, Finka improved both crop performance and resource efficiency, demonstrating how smart climate control can drive better results.
