Heliospectra launched helioCORE software in 2018 and has perfected its helioCORE’s interface and functionality and is launching version 2.0.
Ali Ahmadian, CEO, Heliospectra AB, said: “We wanted to ensure Heliospectra delivers what growers have come to expect from us, which is the best and latest within control and horticulture lighting. Automation solutions are changing and optimizing the horticulture industry, and lighting is a natural part of that. Through scheduling, predictive algorithms, and sensor technology, helioCORE provides growers with a tool to identify growth issues in time, and deliver consistency in growth, less waste, and increase in yield – providing a competitive edge for growers globally.”
Growers are enabled to connect up to 5000 lights from anywhere and anytime, via WIFI or cable through any device. The value of this powerful software is in the benefits it holds for growing best practices:
The system uses predictive algorithms to implement a proper DLI (daily light amount target) for greenhouses and helps reduce costs by uploading local utility rates to prioritize lamp usage when energy and utility costs are lowest. With a precise DLI, growers can ensure plants are getting the light they need throughout the year, no matter the weather conditions. The highly sophisticated system allows growers to maintain consistent light intensity and control the PPFD levels to maximize plant efficiency and photosynthesis.
These helioCORE 2.0 provides growers with an opportunity, and the ability to optimize their cultivation and grow every crop to their full potential, all while improving operational and financial performance.
Ahmadian added: “This is just the beginning of innovation for Heliospectra. We are hard at work, developing our patented biosensor technology that will integrate with helioCORE 2.0, taking the industry a step further on how we communicate with crops and perfect the art of growing.”
