Tomatoworld Chooses Heliospectra LED Technology to Further Sustainable Greenhouse Cultivation
Founded in 2008, Tomatoworld is dedicated to showcasing the value and impact of the Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector. As an experience center and field lab, Tomatoworld demonstrates how knowledge, innovation, and technology can help solve global food issues, serving as a hub for tomato growers worldwide, policymakers, and students.
In order to enhance cultivation efficiency and sustainability, Tomatoworld joined forces with Orance to replace their outdated HPS lighting systems. The choice landed on
Tomatoworld has chosen the R80 spectrum with 10% green to optimize the energy efficacy with a more natural light supporting good visibility of the crop for all visitors and not limit potential research with cameras, sensors, and robots.
The implementation of helioCORE™, a wireless LoRa-based system, will not only enable Tomatoworld to control their LED lights wirelessly with precision but also significantly reduce installation costs and energy consumption, thereby reducing their ecological footprint. This advanced system allows for the creation of customized lighting zones, individual fixture control, and integration with local weather forecasts through the DLI controller for optimal energy management, reinforcing our joint commitment to sustainability.
The partnership extends beyond lighting solutions, encompassing a 3-year commitment for collaborative field tests to optimize greenhouse operations. Key initiatives include optimizing vertical light penetration by using wireless sensors throughout the canopy and field-testing
"At Heliospectra, we are thrilled to collaborate with Tomatoworld to push the boundaries of sustainable horticulture. Our advanced MITRA X LED fixtures and helioCORE™ system represent a significant step forward in energy-efficient cultivation, helping to address global food challenges through innovation. This partnership with Tomatoworld brings us closer to our customers and market, allowing us to conduct field tests and evaluate our new innovations while gaining valuable insights from growers and the industry. This partnership is a testament to our shared vision for a greener future, where technology and sustainability work hand in hand to create lasting impact," says
