Remote precision growing
As scale increases, it becomes more challenging to maintain oversight of performance across multiple production sites. With the growing use of sensors in greenhouses, it is now possible to define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that act as a "check engine light," alerting operators to potential issues before they escalate. This session will explore how these KPIs can drive more efficient and proactive management of greenhouse operations.
Speakers
Adam Greenberg is the CEO and Founder of IUNU, a company that provides AI and machine vision systems to drive efficiencies and profits for greenhouse growers.
