HelioSENSE

A canopy sensor measuring photosynthetic efficiency in real-time, optimizing light use, reducing energy and waste, and ensure quality in production.

helioSENSE measures chlorophyll fluorescence on canopy level, assessing photosynthetic status of the crop. For example, it can identify the light-use-efficiency threshold, at which point it is less efficient to spend energy on lighting. The information serves as biological input when the grower sets the lighting/climate strategy or as biological feedback in smart lighting/climate control algorithms. It helps growers to save energy, ensure good quality and prevent stress.
