THE GARDIN PLATFORM

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR FARM

Consistent yields across your farm

Consistent yield and quality are what drive profitability, but reducing crop variability remains a challenge. With targeted sensor placement aligned to your farm's operational zones, Gardin helps you make smarter decisions on lighting, climate control, and irrigation, so you can replicate your best outcomes more reliably, and reduce inputs.

BETTER, FASTER DECISIONS

Immediate insights for better decisions

Visual checks are slow, subjective, and often come too late, potentially compromising yield. Gardin measures photosynthetic performance to provide real-time insights on how plants respond to their environment before symptoms appear. This enables faster, more confident decisions that help prevent avoidable impacts on yield and quality.

PLANT DRIVEN GROWING

"Before, I mainly focused on the climate conditions in the greenhouse... With Gardin I can measure the effect of the climate conditions based on the plants themselves."

Leonard Boer, FromBoer.

ORDER YOUR SYSTEM

Each sensor can cover about 10 m2. We recommend at least 2 - 4 sensors per hectare.

INSTALL YOUR SENSORS

Connect the autonomous sensors to Power over Ethernet.

HIT YOUR TARGETS

Use Gardin's plant targets to make data-driven decisions and improve crop outcomes.

"Gardin helped us clearly identify when our plants were receiving too much light. By adjusting our shading strategy based on that insight, the plants are now healthier and growing better than before. We now use the data every day to monitor how the plants respond."

"Gardin cameras have become an integral part of our LED strawberry production. They support both our long-term crop and site planning as well as our day-to-day understanding of crop performance. They've quickly become an essential tool for our team. We see even more possibilities for how this technology can support our production in the future."

"For the first time, Gardin's advanced sensors have enabled us to remotely explore plant activity in an industrial setting. This breakthrough has been a significant milestone in our quest to perfect recipe development and crucial for creating the optimal plant environment."

"Working with Gardin enabled us to explore a new technology and collect useful observations that strengthen our understanding of plant performance. These insights add value to our internal development work and help us assess how real-time plant data may support future optimisation efforts."

"Gardin sensors added value in seeing a response before we saw the crop deteriorating. I could definitely see the sensors being used to enhance quality and yield in lit crops, particularly as a way to increase their light use efficiency."

"Maintaining consistent plant quality is extremely important for us, especially for our relationships with retail customers. If the quality drops, it directly affects the value of our plants. Gardin helped us clearly identify when our plants were receiving too much light. By adjusting our shading strategy based on that insight, the plants are healthier and growing better, which helps us consistently deliver the quality our customers expect."

"Gardin could reliably detect the transition of CAM-phase III into IV with its sensor. Moreover, it was able to rapidly detect the malate depletion across multiple cultivars simultaneously and repeatedly at varying temperatures. I see strong potential for its use in commercial orchid cultivation, phenotyping plant research, and genetic breeding."

"Before, I mainly focused on the climate conditions in the greenhouse...with Gardin I can measure the effect of the climate conditions based on the plants themselves. The sensor data contributes to a homogeneous production of high quality and to cost control. On balance, I estimate that the result per square meter is at least 5% higher."

"We pay closer attention to the shading strategy now we work with Gardin, and take better steps to plan for periods of high light, like we have seen this year. Gardin has helped us to think more about the long-term effects of our crop strategy on plant health rather than choosing short term gains."
