The development of an IoT web-based DSS and
monitoring in the greenhouse tomato production
focusing on important aspects like water and energy
use efficiency, sustainability, safety and transparency.
Major Challenge
Here is what we aim to improve (KPIs)
System
production costs
Product Factsheet
Greenhouse monitoring integration –
Integration of greenhouse climate and
fertigation variables into a FIWARE-based
app
DSS for tomato production – A FIWARE
platform for DSS to assist growers during
the growing period
Production
Use of pesticides
Core Product Features
Greenhouse DSS and
optimization
Customers & Provider
DSS and monitoring system for tomato crop in
greenhouses base on web-services on FIWARE.

Without our Product or Service With our Product or Service
Decisions based on experience
Currently the grower make decision
based on experience, the control
systems only shows data.
DSS for climate and irrigation control
A full DSS with setpoint estimation and
advices based on prediction
Target User – All size and tech-level greenhouses
Systems without integration
Grower must manage different
services and solutions for each
system installs
Information written in papers
Day to day information is written in
paper and gathered for Quality
Standards audit
Integration of systems
Integration of all the solutions of
different sellers in one web-services,
making easier the management.
A full traceability monitoring
The system provide the bases of a full
traceability system
Product User Story
Here is the difference
System efficiency
Accessibility to data
User trust
This increases trust at greenhouses,
handling companies and on the end-
consumer level.
