Knowledge base
Digitize your best strategies, SOPs, and site quirks so every decision and recommendation follows your standards—not generic rules.
What you can operationalize
IPM protocols
Apply whitefly treatment if sticky traps >5/m²
Site context
Ignore RH alerts in Block 3 during 10 AM misting
Hygiene standards
Full sanitation checklist for tomato-to-pepper rotation
Operationalize your knowledge
Turn any text into active intelligence.
Binders, spreadsheets, textbooks, research papers, guides, and PDFs shouldn't sit idle. Upload once—Sera digitizes and activates them as live logic that shapes reasoning, alerts, and recommendations in real time.
Technical Knowledge Retrieval
Your technical library, always on.
No more digging through binders or calculators. Your team gets instant, accurate answers to horticultural questions—via chat or search.
On-demand calculations
"How do I calculate Growing Degree Days and why is it important?"
Growing Degree Days (GDD) is a heat accumulation metric that tracks how much warmth a crop has received over time.
The most common formula is:
GDD = (T_max + T_min) / 2 - T_base
Where:
Consistency boost
Everyone works from the same Master Playbook—cuts errors and variability.
Industry Standards
Extension guides
Textbooks
Your own methods
Procedure recall
"How do I calibrate our EC sensor?"
What you need
Calibration solution with a known EC value (usually 2.77 mS/cm or 1.41 mS/cm—check what your sensor manufacturer recommends)
Distilled or deionized water for rinsing
Clean container for the solution
Steps
Site-Specific Context
Your greenhouse's quirks are a feature, not a bug.
Every site has personalities—cold spots, sticky vents, sensor drift. Add these "local truths" so reasoning stays relevant, not frustrating.
These flows are built once in the no-code editor and run automatically—custom to your rules, saving hours of manual coordination.
Daily Pest Check
Upload IPM protocol → Sera monitors sticky trap data → Threshold hit? Assistant flags it with your exact scouting + treatment steps pushed to floor team.
New Grower Onboarding
Junior asks: "GDD target for this cycle?" → Pulls your formula + compares to historical → Instant education, no senior hand-holding.
Anomaly Filtering
Cold corner in Block 3 causes false RH alert → Your site rule suppresses it during misting → Team avoids unnecessary checks.
Cycle Strategy Review
Ask: "How's this cycle tracking vs. protocol?" → Sera cross-checks deviations against your uploaded standards → Highlights only real issues.
