Practical IoT: using sensor data to optimize greenhouse environments
One of the Netherlands’ foremost sources of applied research on agriculture and horticulture, Proeftuin Zwaagdijk provides a controlled environment to test the best methods and tools for crop cultivation and protection.
Challenge
Maintaining the optimum conditions to provide relevant and immediate environmental data to a network of over 100 agricultural research centers specialized in crop protection.
Testing data-driven crop protection strategies with sensors
Continuous measurement of temperature, relative humidity and CO2 with a wireless sensor network in greenhouses, cold rooms and a mobile unit on the grounds. Proeftuin Zwaagdijk has 20 storage rooms, 4 modern chicory cells and more than 3000 m² greenhouses and supportive spaces for research and demonstrations. Captured sensory data gives researchers real-time insight on the ZENSIE dashboard, and is easily available for export and further analysis.

Your greenhouse in the palm of your hand
There’s nothing 9 to 5 about agriculture. The sun keeps rising and setting, temperatures fluctuate, humidity varies, pests and diseases develop. Crops don’t stop needing care on weekends, holidays or after hours. Capturing metrics from remotely placed sensors (anywhere in the world), the ZENSIE platform’s there to keep tabs on your crops in real-time, and ...Read more
Agri work isn’t insular, so why should your agri-data platform be?
We’ve just updated the ZENSIE dashboard. The new groups feature makes it easy to share data from various sources (sensors, climate control, traceability) in its various forms (heatmaps, graphs, visualizations, single values) with individuals within and outside your organisation. Group members can follow sensors, and with live commenting, provide feedback on crop performance based on ...Read more
Gartner names 30MHz Cool Vendor
30MHz has been named a Cool Vendor in the Gartner’s Cool Vendors in IoT Platforms for Agriculture In the past year, we’ve more than doubled our customer count. We’ve committed to agriculture, and learned a great deal about it in the meantime. The shift to agriculture didn’t really feel like a huge step for us— ...Read more
