A computer network with SCADA and case tools for on-line process control in greenhouses.
Climate control computers in greenhouses are used to control heating and ventilation, supply water and dilute and dispense nutrients.  They integrate models into optimally controlled systems.  This paper describes how information technology, as in use in other sectors of industry, is applied to greenhouse control.  The introduction of modern software and hardware concepts in horticulture adds power and extra oppurtunities to climate contol in greenhouses.
