Trutina Strawberry Professional Edition

Smart plant monitoring system designed for innovative strawberry growing

PARTS & FUNCTIONS

1. Pyranometer:

Light measurement tool that helps detecting how much energy is currently available for the plants.

2. Communication node:

Communication device that transfers on-site sensor data to a nearby data collector unit (with a distance up to hundreds of meters). The data collector unit has Ethernet connection and it forwards the data packages to a central server which supplies the data to the client applications (via desktop or smartphone).

3. Funnel:

For collecting and transferring the nutrition solution to the water volume meter and EC sensor.

4. Weight measurement:

For measuring how the water capacity changes in the substrate.

5. Filters (3pcs.):

For collecting dust to avoid stoppages in the system and securing the precision of weight measurement.1 2

6. Tanks (2 pcs.):

One for the irrigation water and another one for the drain.

7. Water volume meter (2 pcs.):

One for the irrigation water and another one for the drain.

8. EC sensors (2 pcs.):

For measuring electroconductivity of the irrigation water and the drain. Using this data, the system automatically calculates ΔEC. Besides EC, the sensors are capable of measuring water temperature as well.

9. Electrical junction box:

For protecting and insulating electrical connections of the system.

Irrigation

How to do it well?

Having real-time updates of your plants, you will always know when and how much your plants need to be irrigated, so you can constantly fine-tune your irrigation strategy and will be able to achieve the full potential of your greenhouse, especially because some cases you have limited influence on many important factors (such as climate conditions), but the way you conduct irrigation/fertigation is entirely up to you!

How much to irrigate?

It’s an ever-recurring question amongst growers. Irrigating the right amount – not more, not less – is not an easy task, because it depends on so many factors. However, our smart tool will help you

Avoid overirrigation

With Trutina, you can detect overirrigation immediately and adjust your irrigation strategy to avoid it. Here’s how:

This is how Trutina shows EC difference between irrigation and drain water (EC).

Avoid underirrigation

With Trutina, you can detect underirrigation immediately (before seeing symptoms) and adjust your irrigation strategy to avoid it.

Here’s how:

This is how Trutina shows water content reduction in the container.

Schedule the first and last irrigation better, accorning to plant needs

With out smart system, you can control the water level in the substarte according to the requirements of each periodes of a day:

* These values are indications and should be adapted based on a day-by-day observation.

Trutina strawberry is your measurement assistant

It is not just a measurement system but a smart platform that aggregates all the data and helps you with smart insights and correlations that you could not see before.

By automatically measuring drainage, you get a clear picture of how much water your plants take up and you get immediate feedback about what happens when you change your irrigation strategy.

By automatically measuring EC, you can always be aware of the current metabolism of your plants and see whether your irrigation strategy is in line with their water and nutrient needs.

Light measurement is important, because irradiation takes a crucial effect on the performance and water needs of the plants, while several other essential values are derived from this data.

The advantages of automatic measurements

If you measure the mentioned values, you have already made a step towards efficient operation, but switching to automatic measurement will be a huge leap in your production:

Instead of measuring the values, let the system do it for you entirely automatically, so you can use your time for other important activities.

The smart sensors offer a higher precision and more stable operation compared to manual measurements.

There is no need to be physically in your greenhouse, all the data is accessible remotely, even from a smartphone.
