NerasTech – Cutting edge Temperature Controlled facilities for Floriculture
Floriculture (Rose) Project : Advanced Temperature Controlled facilities Infrastructure and Smart Sensor Integration
What is Floriculture?
Floriculture, also known as flower farming, is the practice of growing and selling flowers and ornamental plants. It includes the cultivation of plants for gardens, landscapes, greenhouses, and nurseries. Floriculture also involves the production of planting materials and the marketing of flowers.
Meeting the Challenges of Rose Storage
Roses are one of the most delicate and sought-after flowers in the global market. Their fragile nature demands meticulous care during storage to maintain their vibrant colors, structural integrity, and fragrance. Even minor temperature fluctuations can lead to wilting, discoloration, and diminished value. Any change in humidity can cause the Rose buds to shrink.
NerasTech’s Temperature Controlled facilities solution was engineered with these specific requirements in mind. The result is a sophisticated system that provides precise environmental control, creating the ideal conditions to keep roses fresh and beautiful for extended periods.
Key Features of the Temperature Controlled facilities Solution
- Optimal Temperature Control: Roses require a storage temperature between 0°C to 2°C. NerasTech’s advanced cooling systems maintain consistent temperatures to preserve the delicate structure of rose petals.
- Humidity Regulation: Maintaining the right humidity level (90% to 95%) is crucial to prevent dehydration. Smart sensors monitor and adjust humidity levels in real-time to maintain ideal storage conditions. This also prevents Rose buds from shrinking when the humidity levels are lower.
- Smart Sensor Integration: IoT-enabled sensors continuously track temperature, humidity, and air circulation, providing real-time data to ensure optimal storage conditions. Alerts are generated for any deviations, enabling quick corrective action.
- Energy Efficiency: The system incorporates energy-efficient technologies to reduce power consumption without compromising performance, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Benefits for the Floriculture Industry
- Extended Shelf Life: Roses stored in NerasTech’s Temperature Controlled facilities facilities retain their freshness and aesthetic appeal for significantly longer durations.
- Reduced Waste: Precise environmental control minimizes spoilage and waste, maximizing profitability for growers and distributors.
- Enhanced Quality: Florists and end customers receive roses in pristine condition, enhancing customer satisfaction and brand reputation.
- Data-Driven Insights: The integration of smart sensors provides valuable data analytics for improved operational decision-making and predictive maintenance.
- Botrytis Prevention: Botrytis, also known as gray mold, is a fungal disease that can affect flowers, fruit, leaves, and stems of many plants. It’s a common disease that can affect plants at any stage of growth. With our precision sensors and climate control, we ensured no infection affected the stock, maintaining 100% stock viability.
