Applying Autonomous Greenhouse Systems to Your Operation

Posted by Brian Sparks|February 9, 2023

The GLASE consortium’s 2023 Virtual Climate Controls Short Course, which consists of six two-hour modules presented over six weeks in January and February, is an educational series designed to delve into all aspects of climate controls in greenhouses and indoor farms. By the end of this virtual course, participants will be able to make informed decisions about selecting and using climate controls in their growing operations.

The sixth and final module, “Autonomous Control Systems,” takes place on Thursday, Feb. 23. Precision in agriculture leads to better profits, less labor, and higher efficiency. All aspects of climate control, from lighting, temperature, and humidity, to CO₂ and irrigation can be controlled autonomously using integrated technology. Learn about autonomous technologies for greenhouses and how growers are using them in real operations.

Three presentations will focus on:

Overview of Autonomous Controls in Greenhouses, presented by Fengqi You of Cornell University
Autonomous Nutrient Management Systems for Hydroponic Production, presented by Shamim Ahamed of the University of California, Davis
From Autonomous Greenhouse Challenges to Commercial Autonomous Growing, presented by Fokke Kracht of Koidra
