By using forecast data, we already know what our temperature strategy will be for tomorrow and the day after so we can optimize our energy and heating strategy based on that.

Hoogendoorn Growth Management

Hoogendoorn uses localized weather data to power autonomous growing with the IIVO system.

Hoogendoorn Growth Management integrates weather data from Weather Solutions into its IIVO climate computer to automate greenhouse control. This allows growers to act on precise forecasts and optimize conditions with minimal manual intervention.

With hyperlocal weather data from Weather Solutions, Hoogendoorn enables autonomous greenhouse operation— helping growers reduce energy waste and gain precise control over climate decisions.

The Challenge

Growers face constant challenges in adapting to rapidly changing weather conditions especially when it comes to temperature and solar radiation. Without accurate, localized forecasts, fine-
tuning greenhouse climate and energy usage becomes inefficient and reactive. For remote or under resourced regions, limited access to detailed data adds another layer of complexity.

The Solution

With Weather Solutions, Hoogendoorn gains accurate, GPS- specific forecasts that integrate directly with their IIVO system. This setup enables predictive actions like closing greenhouse vents ahead of rain and adjusting climate settings based on incoming radiation levels. It also supports local pilot projects using on-site meteorological stations for even more granular control.
