Climate, irrigation, and the root zone in one rhythm
An integrated greenhouse automation system that combines climate, irrigation, and root zone data in a single control architecture to measure, decide, and execute.
Fertima Greenhouse Control Systems connect sensor networks, weather stations, and automation equipment in one language, making the greenhouse manageable with stable quality, lower risk, and higher yield targets.

An operating standard that stabilizes quality for sensitive crops
In sensitive crops like strawberries, yield and quality depend directly on daily temperature fluctuations, humidity/condensation risk, VPD imbalance, and the water/oxygen balance in the root zone. A control system is not just an "on/off climate" approach; it is a standard that delivers the plant's needs at the right time and dose.
- Balance daily temperature fluctuations.
- Manage humidity and condensation risk in a controlled way.
- Maintain water/oxygen balance in the root zone.
Climate, root zone, and external conditions in one architecture
Sensor data, automation equipment, and external weather conditions are managed through the same decision mechanism.
Climate & Ventilation Control
Keeps the greenhouse within target temperature and humidity ranges.
- Temperature and humidity setpoints.
- Condensation risk management.
- Day-night operation scenarios.
- Alarm and safe-mode design.
Humidity & Temperature Sensors
Reads microclimate data by zone.
- Zone-based temperature-humidity monitoring.
- Automatic action on threshold breaches.
- Calibration and maintenance tracking.
Root Zone & Cocopeat Moisture Measurement
Bases irrigation decisions on measurement.
- Reduces root stress and yield loss.
- Balances drainage and nutrient uptake.
- Maintains oxygen balance.
Weather Station Integration
Ensures safe operation with external weather conditions.
- Ventilation and window safety.
- Protection against sudden weather changes.
- Set optimization with seasonal data.
Risk management through automated combinations
Fertima's control architecture not only monitors sensor data but also turns it into automated action.
If temperature rises
The window + fan combination activates in stages.
If humidity/condensation risk increases
Ventilation strategy and circulation scenarios are triggered.
If root zone moisture is off target
Irrigation rhythm and dosing parameters are adjusted.
If external weather is unsuitable
Windows stay within safe limits and equipment is protected.
Architecture fully compatible with controllers
The system is designed to integrate with Munters controllers and Fertima's own controllers developed by our engineers. Project-specific scenarios are quickly deployed based on main models configured by flow capacity, installation architecture, and operational rhythm.
End-to-end traceability and reporting
All processes are traceable and reportable through SeraERP. Sensor data, automation actions, alarm logs, and operational changes are recorded with timestamps.
- Auditable operating standard.
- Performance comparisons by block/line/zone.
- Root-cause analysis of failures and deviations.
- Single source of truth for management reports.
