Within the framework of the European AgriDataValue project, Tecnova has started the commissioning of Pilot 6 at the facilities of its Experimental Center in Almer\u00eda (Spain). This pilot is part of the main experimentation phase of the project and aims to validate in real cultivation conditions various digital technologies aimed at improving agronomic management in greenhouse production systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the development of this pilot, Tecnova has established two experimental greenhouses, one dedicated to tomato cultivation and the other to cucumber cultivation, which will allow the implementation and evaluation of use cases 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4 of the AgriDataValue project. Through these trials, it is intended to generate evidence on the applicability of advanced technological solutions in intensive Mediterranean agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgriDataValue has as its main objective to develop a European agri-environmental data space, based on a distributed architecture that allows the integration of platforms, sensors and data analysis tools to support decision-making in the agricultural sector. In this context, Tecnova leads the implementation of Pilot 6, contributing to the validation of digital technologies in real production environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the trials at the Tecnova Experimental Centre, various crop monitoring and analysis technologies have been installed. These include IoT sensors for real-time data collection, a SynField climate station for monitoring environmental variables, Teros soil sensors for the analysis of soil moisture, temperature and conductivity, as well as a hyperspectral camera that will allow parameters related to fruit quality to be evaluated in a non-destructive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These technologies will make it possible to monitor environmental, soil and irrigation system variables, generating datasets that will be used within the framework of the project to develop and validate advanced analysis tools and models based on artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use cases that will be implemented in this pilot are aimed at addressing different challenges related to precision agriculture in greenhouses. Firstly, the Use Case 2.1 focuses on the optimisation of irrigation and fertilisation through the use of sensors and monitoring systems that allow agronomic decisions to be adjusted based on the real conditions of the crop. For its part, Use Case 2.3 addresses the estimation of fruit quality by analysing the soluble solids content (\u00b0Brix), using hyperspectral imaging techniques that allow non-destructive evaluations to be carried out directly on the plant. Finally, the Use Case 2.4 is aimed at automating the climate control of the greenhouse, by controlling the opening of windows according to the environmental conditions recorded by the sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the remaining three years of the project, the data generated in these trials will allow the technologies developed in AgriDataValue to be validated and their potential to improve the efficiency of resource use, optimize agronomic management and facilitate the adoption of digital tools by producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the implementation of this pilot, Tecnova reinforces its role within the project as leader of Work Package 5, dedicated to the validation and adaptation of pilots, and continues to promote the transfer of technological innovation to the agricultural sector. This type of initiative contributes to moving towards a more digital, efficient and sustainable agriculture in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
