Recently, trends aimed at healthy lifestyles, consumption of environmentally friendly and healthy food, rational use of resources and implementation of process automation systems have become very popular. In this context, for automatic control systems requiring high data collection and analysis accuracy, ZEMIC actively uses its strain gauges in modern equipment and innovative weighing systems.
Wireless Value, a European manufacturer of wireless solutions for the agricultural sector, has adopted ZEMIC sensors to develop the Agrisensys system. This system is designed to increase knowledge, make accurate measurements, and improve irrigation control for various plant species such as hydrangeas, phalaenopsis, tomatoes, eggplants, and cucumbers.
Agrisensys is used to get a detailed view of the climate in greenhouses. It helps to optimize growing conditions, control humidity to prevent diseases and spoilage of seedlings, ensuring maximum greenhouse productivity with minimal energy and water use. The use of Agrisensys weighing platforms was made possible by miniature sensors custom-made at the ZEMIC factory.
Wireless Value chose ZEMIC as a component supplier due to the positive test results and high quality of the sensors. Close communication with factory engineers, short development times, and a willingness to make changes to create the optimal sensor made ZEMIC the best choice for Wireless Value.
In addition to specialized mini-sensors, Agrisensys uses S-type load cells in greenhouses to measure both tensile and compressive loads.
To summarize, the successful implementation of ZEMIC weight sensors in the Agrisensys system is another confirmation of the effectiveness of their use in future technologies for agricultural production.
