It’s no surprise that the cannabis cultivation sector is undergoing something of a rapprochement with tried and tested players in agriculture and horticulture such as Ridder. When it comes to issues like energy-efficient climate control and a completely closed crop environment, Ridder has valuable expertise to offer. Another of our areas of expertise is efficient irrigation systems that save water and provide the crop with a precisely balanced nutrient mixture. Ridder has a proven track record in addressing all of these challenges in existing sectors, such as greenhouse cultivation of vegetables or decorative plants.
Process automation in horticulture largely depends on high-quality sensor technology that provides accurate and reliable measurements. But in addition to being accurate, sensors need to be robust and able to withstand even the harshest conditions. Ridder offers a wide range of sensors that meet all these requirements.
The regulated cultivation of cannabis requires innovative growing technology. That way, any investment you make in this young and rapidly growing sector will be future-proof. It is essential to optimize work processes, and at the same time you need to comply with extensive legal and regulatory requirements that ensure crop quality and safeguard the health of end users.
Ridder can provide the right integrated solutions that will make your investment in commercial cannabis cultivation and pharmaceutical crops more sustainable and profitable, from climate screens to climate computers and from water treatment systems to labour tracking systems and drive systems.
The demand for cannabis for medicinal use is growing rapidly, but its cultivation involves a number of challenges for growers. Operating costs are high, partly due to high energy consumption, and cannabis is a vulnerable crop that requires a complex cultivation strategy. However, there is a significant overlap between the commercial cultivation of cannabis and the modern cultivation techniques used in the agri-food sector. By using knowledge and technology from the horticulture sector, where quality and cost-efficiency are essential, it is possible to significantly improve the efficiency of cannabis cultivation. The result is improved sustainability and transparency.
