From gut sense to data point , subjective interpretation to algorithmic rule , manual lying-in to automaton , and system of rules - ride interference . Digitizing cultivation proffer opportunities . Still , growers would do well not to measure thing haphazardly and , importantly , not make digitization an death unto itself .
That is perhaps the primary lesson attendees could draw from the recent Digitization Event hold back in the Netherlands . Delphy ’s Klaas van Egmond talked about ' keep a hairgrip on wintertime through digitization . ' Carl van Oosten of Agro Energie offered a peak into zip mart development , and chrysanthemum expert David van Tuijl share his visual sense of and experiences with digitisation . afterwards , people could chatter several workshop that addressed the digitization melodic theme from different Angle .
Be criticalThe message ? Meaningful digitization start with critically evaluating what your true goal are . What makes sense in your society ’s context ? What do you want to invest your own time in ? And above all , where do you want to redeem time ? " I require to spend less , not more , time at my figurer , " says David . " I come up digitization interesting when it salvage metre . If the computer can do something like managing energy habit well , get it . Then you could do something merriment , such as grow chrysanthemums . "
Klaas van Egmond question David van Tuijl .
In David ’s suit , as in many caller , digitization is especially useful for vim direction . Also , it is progressively important in refinement , but even there , it must be critically considered beforehand . Exactly what data do you collect , do you do that systematically , and is there any common sense in comparing data hardening ?
Have you not change varieties ? Is the greenhouse agreement unchanged , were there pest or mishaps ? Digitization must also result in concrete advance : a better lineament terminal intersection or , for case , fast intercession and modification . If it does not do that or does so minimally , is it worth the time , energy , and money ?
Carl van Oosten of Agro Energie .
The event is an initiative of Glastuinbouw Nederland , Delphy Improvement Centre , Priva , Zentoo , Hogeschool Inholland , Delphy , and Greenport West - Holland . It is part of the ‘ accelerate Green Digitization in Greenhouse Horticulture ’ project . Though launched during the pandemic with European financial support , it remain relevant .
The day was not as well wait on as this spring ’s first edition . Undoubtedly because it had to contend with the National Horticultural Congress and the Floriculture Crop Protection Days . Also , the vitality crisis ’s character has more recently shift from an acute need to a permanent annoyance .
