Innovations & demo's

Innovative features

Greenhouse drone for monitoring crop health & growth from seed to harvest. Breeders and young plant growers use seed germination and usable plant monitoring applications. Pot plant and cutflower growers start with growth monitoring and use the readiness application to link the right ripeness stage to the right customer. Rose growers use the yield prediction application. During the crop growth period pest & disease monitoring is important. Aphids, caterpillars, Fusarium or Mildew are examples of early stage warming monitoring. The drone flies fully autonomous in the greenhouse. Everyone can deploy the drone from anywhere at anytime, because it’s very easy. From data-collection to reporting is 100% automated. The drone hops from docking station to docking station for automatic recharging and data upload. Reports are send to the growers email or integrated in third party systems like crop management or ERP.

Advantages

The main advantage is that growers are less dependent on human scouting. It saves time and cost but more important is a constant flow of very accurate plant data. It helps managing the crop, planning labour and managing the supply chain. The use of drones enables growers to grow even more sustainable. Early warming of pest&diseases reduces the use of crop protection products. Optimizing growth also reduces energy usage.

Renewable energy for greenhouses without compromises

Innovative features

Voltiris is innovating in the field of solar modules, combining the use of agricultural surfaces with renewable energy production. Our unique solution relies on a system of dichroic mirrors. These mirrors transmit essential light components for photosynthesis, while 'unused' spectral elements are filtered and directed towards solar panels. This technology enables the production of renewable energy without affecting crop growth. Greenhouse owners, faced with significant energy needs and increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, find a significant advantage in this solution. The generated energy can meet the substantial needs of the greenhouse, and any surplus can be sold to the power grid.

Advantages

This revolutionary approach opens up opportunities for energy production in previously untapped spaces, marking a significant advance toward innovative and sustainable energy methods. Our innovation, currently focused on high-tech greenhouses, enables owners to facilitate their energy transition, thereby increasing their independence, profitability, and sustainability.

Zantingh-Varmeteknikk electric boiler

Innovative features

Varmeteknikk electric boilers fit the trend of sustainability, decarbonization and electrification of society and have therefore become increasingly popular in recent years. They are now an important part of hybrid heating systems in greenhouses. With a Varmeteknikk electric boiler, growers can take full advantage of the imbalance in the electricity grid. Due to a strong increase in sustainable energy, electricity companies regularly face electricity surpluses and negative prices are becoming increasingly common. Even substantial fees are offered to companies that are on standby and can respond swiftly to peaks in the electricity grid (peak shaving); for example with an electric boiler. But there are more advantages. They have an efficiency of 100%, have a long lifespan and because of their compact shape they can be placed in any situation. Also, for example, in combination with a gas boiler, a heat pump or solar panels.

Advantages

An electric boiler has many advantages, such as :
• Fits the trend of sustainability.
• 100% efficiency.
• Compact design and can be multiplexed in case of a higher requested power, making it simple and flexible to use for almost any purpose.
• Rapidly increase power: optimal benefit when taking advantage of surplus electricity (imbalance) or when used for peak shaving.
• Expandable with options for optimal boiler control and safety.
• Norwegian top quality: a long service life, low maintenance costs and the security of decades of experience with electric heating.
