e-Gro: Optimized Yield Forecaster, advanced crop registrations for more insights and an improved user experience

Being part of the greenhouse sector, we are well aware of the fact that the current season came with multiple challenges and uncertainties in your greenhouse. Gas, energy, the significantly increased inflation, and the changing climate asks for even more flexibility and creativity to adapt to this changing environment. With the required optimization of growing strategies, the accuracy, predictability, and reliability of data are, therefore, more important than ever. The decisions you make today have a major impact on your results tomorrow.

As such, we aim to support you in the best way by releasing helpful updates available in e-Gro. This release focuses on the optimized Yield Forecaster, the advanced Crop registration within the Crop module, and the optimized Conditions module for an improved User Experience (UX).

Optimized Yield Forecaster for more accurate predictions

The Yield Forecaster module is more relevant than ever as it will help you to look forward during this challenging season. Insight into the correlation between climate conditions and irrigation is very important in this regard. With this release, we added additional meteo & crop registration parameters into the model. The Yield Forecaster now contains a richer assortment of data to predict the yield in a more accurate way.

Crop registrations: More accurate and extensive

In challenging seasons like these, it is beneficial to know where you could save costs without having a large effect on your crops’ growth. Therefore, the Crop registrations module has been improved in several ways for pepper and tomato growers. Using accurate and reliable data, new opportunities tailored to your unique situation can be discovered. Updates are for example, a reminder that your end date to crop is coming to an end, and new parameters ‘average fruit weight’ and ‘newly set fruits per m²’.

Optimized Conditions module for improved user experience

The Conditions module is a crucial feature e-Gro, which is why we deep-dived again into this module to show essential information in a better and more user-friendly way. It helps you maximize input, cost savings while optimizing your yield and crop performance. The focus of all improvements and updates is on an improved working environment and daily experience. For example, data from graphs can be read more easily, historical data from historical sensors will be saved, and graph data can be exported more quickly.

Support Center

We strive to ensure that you can get the most out of e-Gro software. Based on your valuable input and feedback, we now added two more manuals to the Support Center: Dashboard and Reports.

What’s next?

Our green experts continuously work on Grodan’s e-Gro platform to provide new features which help you out with further optimizing your growing strategy. Some more exciting things are in development, especially in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven tools.
