Why Greenhouse Automation Fits Well With Social Distancing

While our society as a whole struggles to deal with the “new normal” way of life in the wake of COVID-19, there is perhaps a silver lining for the greenhouse industry. According a recent blog post by Alex Stone of Growlink, a provider of data-driven networking systems for the greenhouse industry, greenhouse automation can allow operators to remotely monitor and control crucial environmental factors such as heat, humidity, irrigation, CO₂ levels, light levels, and ventilation.

“Automated controls help to ease the burden and challenge growers face having to manage every single environmental factor without a fully staffed operation,” Stone writes. “Automatic controls can be fully integrated into every aspect of your greenhouse. Automation will keep your environment attuned to the needs of your crops without the need for continuous physical adjustment. You can build consistent and predictable cycles that maintain an ideal growing environment.”

Along with being able to control the key functions of your business remotely, there are other benefits that automation brings to the table. Click here to read the complete post and learn more about some of the other benefits of greenhouse automation.
