(Gothenburg, Sweden, Sep 14, 2023, at 09:30 CEST) – Heliospectra, a market leader in Smart LED lighting technology and control systems for optimized plant growth and energy efficiency, proudly introduces the highly anticipated helioCORE 2.0. New features include the implementation of weather forecasting in the DLI controller, a new graphical interface of the installation with a drag-and-drop feature for creating zones, and an improved data overview of the environment. This innovative update to the helioCORE software reaffirms Heliospectra’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge yet user-friendly solutions that elevate plant cultivation and energy savings to new heights.

Heliospectra's nieuwe helioCORE 2.0 software revolutionizes the way growers interact with light, offering a comprehensive suite of features designed to enhance energy savings, optimize plant growth, and streamline operational efficiency. The new release builds on Heliospectra’s legacy of innovation and excellence, leveraging state-of-the-art technology to offer growers unprecedented control over their lighting strategies and resources.

De bijgewerkte software beschikt over een reeks nieuwe en verbeterde functies, waaronder:

1. Verbeterde gebruikerservaring: helioCORE 2.0 presents an improved user interface that is more intuitive and user-friendly than ever before. With easy drag-and-drop functionality, group and grow zone administration become seamless. The graphical representation of the installation provides growers with clear insights into fixture status, temperature, wireless signal strength, and more.

2. Dynamisch extern Weer Prognose Integratie: A standout feature of helioCORE 2.0 is the integration of external weather forecasts into the Daily Light Integral (DLI) controller. This innovation significantly increases the algorithm’s accuracy, making helioCORE eligible for rebates in select states across Canada and the USA. This integration exemplifies Heliospectra’s commitment to sustainability and economic viability.

3. Verbeterde bewaking en meldingen: The Adelphi and the new graphical representation of the installation provide growers with clear insights into fixture status, temperature, wireless signal strength, and more, providing customers with even better real-time status updates. More options for email notifications ensure that users are informed promptly and comprehensively about critical events in their cultivation environment.

4. Groeizonecontrole voor meerdere groepen: With support for multiple groups within Grow Zones, growers can now easily turn off empty bays or even individual lights within a grow zone.  Zone strategies allow growers to tailor lighting strategies to different crops or varieties simultaneously within one or multiple greenhouses. This enables optimized growth environments, ensuring that each plant receives the precise amount of light required for optimal growth.

5. Open API for 3rd party integration: helioCORE 2.0 has an open API, enabling integration and control of helioCORE from external sources. This integration empowers growers to seamlessly integrate helioCORE with already installed climate computers, enhancing operational flexibility and customization.

Onderdeel van de verbeterde alarmmogelijkheden in helioCORE 2.0 is de mogelijkheid om de PSU-status te volgen, wat proactieve bewaking biedt voor optimale verlichtingsprestaties. Het bijhouden van de PSU-status en vitale parameters helpt kwekers problemen vroegtijdig op te sporen, waardoor ononderbroken groei wordt gegarandeerd. Het bewaakt het vermogen van de PSU, de bedrijfstijd en de temperatuur voor efficiëntie en veiligheid. Geavanceerde algoritmen detecteren mogelijke PSU-storingen om uitvaltijd en dure vervangingen te voorkomen. Bovendien zijn luchtaanpassingen mogelijk voor maximale efficiëntie. Deze geavanceerde bewaking verbetert verlichtingsinstallaties en zorgt voor een lange levensduur, betrouwbaarheid en energiebesparing, waardoor uiteindelijk de operationele kosten dalen.

De helioCORE 2.0 software belichaamt Heliospectra's streven naar innovatie en het leveren van oplossingen die energiebesparingen maximaliseren, plantengroei optimaliseren en ongeëvenaarde controle bieden. Door telers in staat te stellen aangepaste verlichtingsstrategieën te creëren op basis van real-time gegevens en externe voorspellingen, transformeert helioCORE 2.0 teeltpraktijken en stelt het nieuwe normen voor precisietuinbouw.

“Heliospectra is proud to introduce helioCORE 2.0, a testament to our dedication to pushing the boundaries of smart LED lighting technology. This version of our updated software empowers growers, allowing them to make data-driven decisions to optimize the quality of the crop and, at the same time, improve the efficiency of their cultivation practices, decreasing energy consumption by up to 35%, on top of the savings already brought by switching to LED,” said Johan Rubenson, CTO at Heliospectra.

helioCORE is a stand-alone system, but thanks to an open API, it can be used stand-alone or combined with already installed climate computers, for additional flexibility and control. Automatic updates ensure the system is always updated with the latest features and improvements. Moreover, growers have access to Heliospectra’s helioCARE team of in-house experts for technical support and seamless installations, providing you with comprehensive assistance for a worry-free experience.

helioCORE 2.0 wordt volledig uitgebracht in Q4 2023.
