SenseNL is a technical school ship’s company that focuses on the horticultural sector as it produces smart wireless sensors . The party put up to the accelerate digitalization within the sector through its Cara Met - sensing element , which provide accurate perceptiveness into the plant ’s root zona .

digitalisation in the horticultural sector is nothing raw . Over the past years , stair have been acquire in this direction . Consider , for example , automation , robotization , and most of late : " Data - driven finish management " . More precise monitoring and curb allow growers to achieve gamy yields with fewer resources .

However , to make the right decision , reliable sensing element datum is needed . And that ’s where SenseNL ’s Cara Met - sensors get in .

Winelis Kavelaars , CEO of SenseNL : Growers could already realize concrete insights into the amount of water and fertilization that they supply to their crops thanks to the current nation of climate computer , matching algorithms , and strategies . With our accurate and reliable Cara Met- sensing element , growers can now also supervise the wet content , EC level , and temperature in the substratum . antecedently , it was not possible to have this kind of perceptivity into the substrate . By providing the Cara Met - drain sensing element , SenseNL provides grower with a comprehensive and exact overview of their substrate ’s stimulant , tooth root zona , and outputs . In recent months , SenseNL has been preparing to make the Cara Met - drain sensor available for commercial economic consumption .

Measuring channelThe Cara Met - waste pipe sensor consists of a compendious piston chamber that is installed under the exist drain . An extra piece of drain ( the so - call measure drain ) of about 3 meters is place above the existing drain and its ends are plug into to the Cara Met- drain detector . Daily operations and industrial plant growth are not agitate as the measures drain does not heighten more than 5 m above the existing channel . On top of the test drain are three substrate mats , as is the case in the rest of the greenhouse . The Cara Met -drain detector measures the first drain moment of the day and its consort EC , total drain loudness per day . In add-on , it continuously evaluate the EC , temperature , pH , and flow rate of each drain throughout the day . The idea is that this measuring drainpipe is representative of what happens in the rest of the row and/or crane bay .

Like all other Cara Met sensor , the drainage sensor is wireless and easy to instal . Sensor data can be ship to the clime calculator via the existing SenseNL API .

Winelis adds : " Because the Cara Met drainpipe sensor is compact , pliant , well-fixed to install , and affordable . raiser can choose to have multiple measuring points in the greenhouse to make better penetration into their irrigation strategy . "

At HortiContact 2024 , SenseNL will show the CARA MET drainage sensor at booth I150 .
