Collaboration brings real-time crop and rootzone data directly into the Ridder platform
Dutch agtech specialist Ridder has announced a new integration with Quantified, a provider of wireless greenhouse sensing technology for professional horticulture. The integration enables growers to connect Quantified’s wireless sensor data with Ridder’s process automation solutions, bringing critical data together in one central platform.
Quantified’s sensor portfolio gives growers detailed insights into climate, plant and rootzone conditions, including substrate moisture, drain, weight, and plant temperature.
“Through this integration, the data is now available in the Hortimax Plus and Hortimax Pro climate computers, giving growers a more complete view of greenhouse conditions. This helps them better understand crop and fertigation performance, identify deviations, and make more informed growing decisions,” Ridder said.
Jorge Gonzalez, product manager at Ridder, commented: “Growers want the freedom to choose the technologies that best fit their operation and have them work together. By connecting Quantified’s sensor data with Hortimax, we make it easier to bring crop and root-zone insights together with the data growers already use to manage their greenhouse “.
Ridder said the collaboration reflects its long-term vision of enabling an open and connected greenhouse ecosystem. By bringing together automation, sensor intelligence, data, and future innovations within one ecosystem, Ridder empowers growers to optimize production, improve resource efficiency, and make every growing decision with greater confidence.
Quantified’s wireless sensor technology will be presented at Ridder’s Plant Empowerment Workshop: Root Zone Management & Water Balance, which takes place on 16 September.
“Whether you want to learn more about irrigation strategies, optimise root development, or gain a better understanding of the interaction between root zone and plant balances, this workshop offers practical knowledge and the opportunity to exchange experiences with fellow growers,” Ridder said.
