Seattle, WA, September 2024 – Koidra, a leading innovator in Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), is proud to announce its contribution to a new report published on e-gro.org. The report, titled A Primer of Artificial Intelligence for Greenhouse Control, highlights the potential of AI, particularly Machine Learning (ML), to transform greenhouse management by optimizing crop production and environmental control.
The collaboration features insights from Kenneth Tran, CTO of Koidra, alongside researchers from The Ohio State University (Chieri Kubota) and Rutgers University (A.J. Both). The report delves into how AI, particularly ML, can enhance decision-making processes in greenhouse operations, enabling more precise and efficient irrigation and climate control systems. By integrating historical data and real-time environmental factors, ML models provide predictions that help growers maintain optimal growing conditions, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
One key aspect discussed in the report is Koidra’s development of DataPilot, a comprehensive data management platform designed to support AI-driven greenhouse systems. DataPilot bridges the gap between traditional agricultural practices and modern AI technologies by offering robust tools for data integration, analysis, and decision-making.
Kenneth Tran expressed his enthusiasm for the growing role of AI in agriculture: “We’re excited to see AI continuing to evolve and play a crucial role in improving efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in greenhouse operations. Through collaborations like this, we’re working towards a future where growers can rely on AI to handle routine tasks, allowing them to focus on strategic decision-making.”
The report emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that combines AI with the expertise and knowledge of experienced growers, paving the way for more sustainable and profitable agricultural practices.
