“ What would be necessary to optimise the cultivation process ? ” That question formed the starting point for the discussion about the new - material body project for Florensis in Dinteloord ( Netherlands ) . Now , just 18 months later , the first part of the high - technical school greenhouse building complex in the Nieuw - Prinsenland Greenhouse Farming Area is full up and run . The innovative family - owned fellowship – which originated in Hendrik - Ido - Ambacht – has tight involved its employees in the intention process , leave in a carefully planned and ‘ voguish ’ production location for untested plant . The first phase – a 6 - hectare complex including a cabrio greenhouse , a Venlo glasshouse , automatic cutting planter , an efficient and sustainable water and Department of Energy room and PAR measuring – is an telling sight . At the start of the task , Florensis dislodge up some time for its employee so that they could help the troupe research the very latest techniques and innovations . “ We ’re all experienced cultivator and finish specialists and we lie with precisely what we want , ” say Jan Arends , Manager Domestic Production at Florensis . “ The clip spent on the preliminary enquiry paid off because the blueprint and implementation phase of the project run swimmingly , with very few setbacks . ” That ’s typical of Florensis , explicate Chris Reeskamp , Account Manager at Priva : “ For both Priva and our partner Stolze , the fact that it ’s a family - owned company come across very strongly during the project . The employee are gallant of the company and really need to plug a good futurity for it , which intend that we made carefully turn over decisions together . ”

Smart strategical choicesDuring the design phase of the greenhouse complex in Dinteloord , the members of the projection squad were actively advance to ‘ think big ’ and suggest originative ideas . In that context , the employee were asked an important question mighty at the get-go of the project : “ What would you need to optimise the refinement process ? ” . impart the Florensis team the exemption to let their resource run wild result in impertinent strategic choices being made in the conception phase in terms of instauration and techniques . For example , help by Priva consultant Hein Jasperse , they explored ways to improve the screen control based on a PAR and PAR - amount measurement , among other thing . The team also include multifunctional possibility to make the nursery suitable for every character of crop .
The Priva E - measure Box is used to valuate the temperature , comparative humidity and CO2 , and the PAR sensor evaluate the part of the light spectrum that activates photosynthesis in plants .
Multifunctional greenhouse for every type of cropThe nursery complex in Dinteloord offers such comprehensive technical opportunities that it could be used to grow any form of craw , from tomatoes to flowers – and it is : “ We do n’t use the nursery ourselves in November and December , whereas they are peak months for tomato plant raising companies . We give such companies the opportunity to make manipulation of our space . We direct this into condition in the design phase , which is why our nursery are fitted with the necessary equipment for tomato yield , ” say Jan Arends . “ It ’s a profits - profits situation , and work the other way round too ; we ’re allow to make use of their space in our peak calendar month of March and April . ”
