The Pylot datum platform was launch at the Greentech . Already 51 glasshouse in 7 countries are working with the organisation , which was launched by Kubo at GreenTech . Thanks to the platform , growers can actually practice the endless menstruum of information , that can be collect in the greenhouse , in their cultivation . " The information is clearly present and is useable for the agriculturist or crop advisor , " explain Edwin Huybers of Pylot .
The goal ? " The estimate is ultimately to build a system that independently can activate the grower if something go bad wrong . "
Cultivation is a complex matter . They are also aware of that at Kubo . The greenhouse structure company has project all over the earth . These projects are catch cock-a-hoop and heavy , while specific cultivation knowledge is not everywhere usable . That is why the greenhouse builder decided to get call for in the development of Pylot . With the data platform they want to help growers get the most out of the greenhouse .
" you’re able to also see a greenhouse as half a physics laboratory , " says Edwin , who presented the platform at GreenTech this yr . “ You have to take into account solar radiation , visible radiation , humidity , and more . All these index are interrelated and are take to get the plant in the correct term . Applying these processes in a correct fashion for a good lineament mathematical product is a very complex cognitive process . ”
When reading data , thing are sometimes still faltering"Pylot reads the data from climate computers and other data sources and compiles it into an gentle - to - read interface , " he continues . “ That often goes improper now : a lot of datum is pull in in greenhouses , but then you have to be capable to show that data in an gentle way . A nice graph is of little utilisation if the data points do n’t mean anything to you , and that can limit the effectiveness of a nursery . Pylot provides simple , clear information that make considerateness well-situated . "
There are more datum platforms , but these often focalize on specific element from the greenhouse , says Edwin . “ With Pylot we focalise on trying to give the overall picture . If you desire to bring off a greenhouse well , you have to approach it from a all-encompassing position and appear at the total overview of all influences . ”
“ Just imagine that you contact 60 kg / m2 at one location and 65 kg / m2 at the other , how is this potential ? Pylot give way you a more concrete insight into the differences between days and the factors that may have led to that . This makes it easy to make secure adjustments . ” With Climate Insights , for example , the system indicate whether a mean solar day was a good , a green , or a bad , a red day .
ImprovingAt Pylot , the goal is to gradually originate better results and thus support the encyclopedism summons of the grower . Thanks to Machine Learning , the organization is also better responding to the grower .
The system can be used in new or existing greenhouses . " Pylot connects to the climate computer and other data point , such as craw cycles and set points , can be record manually , " enounce Edwin . “ That data point , therefore , look on how the grower need the greenhouse to function and when which harvest is achieved . Pylot facilitates , so it does n’t count when it touch on an existing nursery . "
Pylot does not make adjustments within the systems , the agriculturist stay leading . He can , therefore , determine what the specific goal is for a party . " Do you want a lower energy expenditure with still good timber vegetables , or do you desire to develop specifically on high - quality intersection where use of goods and services stool less of a dispute , " says Edwin as an example . " you may set up the system for that : The computers memorise again from the intervention that you carry out and thus send out the appropriate selective information . "
" A fiddling expert every twenty-four hour period , that ’s the musical theme , " says Edwin . " Step by step both the agriculturalist and the system get better brainstorm into the processes within the greenhouse and which commute take to be implemented to get the best results . "
Test greenhouses also participateAfter the GreenTech , Pylot received a substantial unexampled customer alkali . " We are charter in connecting 51 nursery with Modern user , " say Edwin . “ The test nursery , which have assist with the development over the preceding two years , have also decided to continue with the arrangement , which of course is smashing for us . This means that these users get that they can get the ROI out of the system . It is therefore attractive in terms of price and it is not too complex to utilise . "
The 51 greenhouse are also located in 7 different countries . " We touch base new users in the Netherlands , China , South Korea , USA , Kazakhstan , Uzbekistan , and Russia , " says Edwin . “ In addition , there are also drug user in Canada who have show an interest , and we see that there is interest from Japan , France and Australia . But we must not go too tight , " enjoin Edwin . “ There are many startup that total explosively onto the market and get many guest in a short time , but who are not able to deliver the quality . For us , that is above everything else : quality over quantity . We must not promise anything that we can not deliver . ”
That is also why there is an denotative focal point . “ We have a composition for Pylot : we have five . We brook five types of crop , five climate computers and five speech . The crops are : tomato , cucumber , peppers , and recently also eggplant and this month lettuce is on the docket to be launched . Pylot support the five largest climate computers and the five speech are : Dutch , English , Russian , French and this declination is the public launch of Chinese . The Asian market is develop quickly and it is a great country , so the opportunities are huge in China . "
In the futureAlthough it is clear that the emphasis for the use of Pylot is still with the grower himself , that may still change in the future . " Automation is continuing in the market , and Pylot can participate in that in the future tense , " says Edwin . “ The ultimate goal for every agriculturist is , of course , a ego - control greenhouse . With all the information that Pylot is collecting , it will probably be potential in the hereafter to have greenhouse systems that will be controlled by Pylot . “For more information : KUBO Group[email protected]www.kubogroup.nl
