The company , which was officially registered in 2016 , has only really taken off since 2019 and is still relatively unknown . However , many growers are already getting valuable data from their cultivation with sensing element , which are then visualized in a Yookr dashboard .

An example John gives is cuke cultivator Boy Jacobs , who by weighing the plant stupefy great insights about the increment development of the flora and can therefore better predict the crop . Sensors have been used in greenhouses since the 1980s , but the current generation of sensor is wireless and can be used anywhere . Boy primarily view a future in the valorization of the data point .
The Yookr program helps with this . " The first step was an private plant reading , but we are now record twenty at a time on a balance beam and the first results are very positively charged , " say John .

He stresses the grandness of working together in gild to let out what the grower find of import . " During the day , we can accurately see how the weight of the cucumber industrial plant produce . Moments for foliage picking and clipping are also visualized in the fascia . This data point can of course be compared with earlier data point to make predictions regarding the harvest . The readings also show when a plant depletes and how the weight of the plant increase during the day . enlightening , because the Reading sometimes show something different from what the grower had assumed . "
Automated messagesThe grower can set target value in his dashboard . If these are reached , for instance a lower limit temperature or low humidity , the grower will automatically receive a textual matter message or email . He can then take immediate activity . " mere , but effective , because once the aim value is reached , it is sentence for action , even at night . "

For tomato , cucumber , and bell black pepper polish , among others , the focus is presently on value and matter the plants . clime factor are also measure ( for instance grow light , carbon dioxide , temperature , and humidness . In out-of-door refinement , the focus is on the grease , where soil moisture and temperature , pH , oxygen , and sourness include available tincture elements can be measure . " And in this , we keep expanding . We make our own sensors , with international computer hardware , to see that we can secure the quality of the sensor . ”
