Managing
the environment for 11,800 square
feet of green house is a formidable
task. Temperature, air flow,
and watering must be controlled
to maintain healthy conditions
for plant life. Continuing to
manually manage these controls
was not cost effective for Martha's
Bloomers. FIX Systems was contacted
for a solution.
FIX Systems designed, installed
and tested a completely customized
control system at Martha’s
Bloomers. The individual components
of the system (fans, sprinklers,
etc.) are controlled by a central
server that monitors environmental
conditions in each green house.
The conditions are maintained
autonomously, requiring no human
interaction. Users can change
the conditions in a greenhouse
by logging on to the server
via a web interface.
The new autonomous control system
saves Martha's Bloomers a significant
number of man hours per month
and provides a level of environmental
accuracy previously unattainable.
