Marjoland moves forward with IIVO: efficient rose production using smart technology

At Marjoland, a leading rose grower cultivating 10 different varieties of roses on 20 hectares, quality is paramount. As a supplier of premium roses in the high-end market segment, Marjoland is constantly striving for innovation and efficiency in their cultivation process. The introduction of the IIVO system marks an important step forward in their ambition to further automate and optimize their production process.

Precision in climate control and energy efficiency

With IIVO, growing conditions can be more precisely tailored to Marjoland’s needs. “For us, IIVO represents a big step forward. It controls things more precisely according to our needs, and we can configure a lot more settings. With these settings, we have better control over the climate and can manage our energy resources more efficiently,” says Erwin van Adrichem, head grower at Marjoland. Marjoland already utilizes technologies such as Intelligent Ventilation and Intelligent Lighting. Intelligent Ventilation ensures optimal humidity control in the greenhouse through air vents, while Intelligent Lighting ensures that lighting is active exactly when needed. These smart technologies contribute to energy efficiency and stable growing conditions.

The future of automated cultivation
In the coming years, Marjoland plans to automate even more tasks with IIVO. “Intelligent Algorithms can help us make better decisions and to ensure we use less energy. Plus, we can easily see why decisions are being made, which gives us confidence in them,” says van Adrichem.

Access to IIVO anytime, anywhere

Another key feature for Marjoland is the ease of access to IIVO. The system runs smoothly via a mobile browser, enabling growers to make quick and easy adjustments, even while walking through the greenhouse. If there is any uncertainty about a setting, it can be checked or changed on the spot, saving both time and energy.

Continuing to innovate
IIVO is continuously updated with new controls and functionalities. This means Marjoland can address future challenges with tailored solutions, such as improved humidity management or irrigation systems. The ongoing innovation of IIVO gives Marjoland the flexibility and control they need to keep growing in an ever-changing market.

With IIVO, Marjoland is taking a step toward more sustainable and efficient cultivation of their high-quality roses. The combination of smart technologies and energy management provides them with the tools to continue excelling in the competitive flower market.
