Monitoring Greenhouses

Temperature Monitoring Example

Case Study

• Monitor Temperature in approximately 60 zones across 35 Greenhouses– Need to know when temperature is out of range– Need to track temperature to monitor

effectiveness of heating system– Current request is monitoring only …

High-Level Solution Proposed

• IAS AlertII™ plus IAS HarvestWatch™ Web-based Monitoring and Alerting Software– AlertII™ that monitors up to 4 Wired Temperatures, or Temp/RH zones

– Solar Charging system replaced with 24V DC Power Supply– Support up to 8 additional TempGard™ Wireless Temperature sensors

per AlertII™ unit for a total of 12 Zones/unit– All IAS Sensors supported for future expansion– Also monitors AC power– Alerts via Email/SMS/Voice– Store/display historical data– Reports Available– Can alert on any temperature condition or AC fail.– Equipment can be upgraded in future to support heater/fan/vent
