Turning experience into continuous improvement

Modern greenhouses generate a vast amount of data every day. Climate conditions, irrigation performance, energy consumption and crop development all provide valuable insights. However, turning that data into actionable improvements can be challenging when daily operations require constant attention.

This is where Van der Hoeven's Operate & Maintain team supports growers.

By continuously monitoring greenhouse performance, the team helps identify opportunities for optimization and detect potential issues before they affect crop performance. Whether it concerns climate settings, irrigation strategies or technical irregularities, the goal is always the same: helping growers achieve stable and predictable results.

For Rui Yin - Monitoring Engineer, this proactive approach is one of the most valuable aspects of the service.

"A greenhouse is never static. There are always opportunities to improve performance, adapt strategies or respond to changing circumstances. By staying closely involved, we can help growers make informed decisions based on data and experience."

Working with customers around the world also means every project brings new challenges and new learning opportunities.

"No two greenhouses are the same. Each customer operates in a unique environment and has specific goals. That variety keeps the work interesting and helps us continue improving our own knowledge and expertise."

Through a combination of technology, data analysis and close cooperation with local teams, Operate & Maintain helps growers get the most from their ModulAIR greenhouse throughout its entire lifecycle.

Because successful greenhouse projects are built not only on innovative technology, but also on long term partnership and continuous improvement.
