Boost productivity with lower costs, higher throughput and less downtime

Greenhouse operators are challenged to use water, nutrients and energy to achieve maximum production in a safe, sustainable way. This means that controlling equipment like pumps, fans and sprinklers to optimize growing conditions and maximize reliability is key. ABB control products such as drives and PLCs automatically provide plants with the inputs they need for healthy growth, while ensuring that the equipment that serves them is kept in top condition.

Maximising reliability is the minimum requirement

Greenhouses rely on a vast array of pumps, fans, sprinklers and generators to ensure optimum growing conditions. ABBs range of solutions includes drives controlling motors that can protect sprinklers by warning of unusual pressures and monitor fans remotely to provide early warning of failures. ABB PLCs can monitor and control pumping equipment to ensure maximum uptime by reducing wear and tear, while our robust motors are designed for frequent, easy cleaning, maximizing availability and food safety.

Growing fruits and vegetables safely

Safety is of paramount importance in food production and processing facilities. Any food safety incident could result in a product recall which could be costly and damage reputation. Food safety begins with correct growing and ABB drives, motors and PLCs can ensure that plants get the right temperature, nutrients and CO2 levels they need to ensure healthy, quality produce.

Many greenhouses will carry out sorting, packaging and labelling on-site. This must be done hygienically to ensure food leaving the site is safe to eat. Handling equipment can be run at the right speed through drives and PLCs, ensuring items such as fruit are not damaged.

By optimizing growing conditions, cutting resource use and ensuring maximum availability of greenhouse equipment, while providing advanced digital monitoring and online support services, ABB’s solutions help make the Greenhouse industry profitable and sustainable.
