Smart control of hydroponic greenhouses

In the field of hydroponic greenhouses, the stability of physico-chemical parameters is a key factor for crop quality and overall system profitability.

Tecnopenta has developed an integrated monitoring system designed for continuous control of nutrient solutions and hydraulic flows within professional hydroponic installations.

The system enables continuous measurement and recording of:

• Dissolved oxygen;
• Ozone;
• Electrical conductivity;
• pH;
• Temperature;
• Flow rate of recirculation lines.

Through acquisition nodes and LoRaWAN gateways, data are collected and transmitted to a dedicated web platform, accessible via personalized credentials. The service includes historical data storage, graphical visualization and centralized parameter management.

Why is continuous monitoring strategic?

Constant control of dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity and pH allows:

• Optimization of nutrient uptake;
• Reduction of root stress;
• Prevention of chemical imbalances;
• Rapid intervention in case of anomalies;
• Reduction of water and fertilizer waste.

The system is designed to operate reliably even in complex agricultural environments, with dedicated power supply and energy backup, ensuring operational continuity.

From data to decision

The value lies not only in measurement, but in interpretation.

The platform transforms data into actionable insights to:

• Adjust dosing levels;
• Optimize recirculation cycles;
• Improve production yield;
• Document operating conditions for traceability purposes.

Structured monitoring is a key element in the transition toward more efficient and sustainable agricultural models, where every parameter is measured and precisely managed.
