Short description
This TC takes place in a major greenhouse area in The Netherlands. In this TC the grower makes use of a digital platform (QMS Tomato) that has a data-integration with his climate computer and his digital crop registration system. QMS calculates different scenarios and supports the grower in optimal decision making regarding the use of resources (e.g. heat, energy).

Major goals
The main goal of the DATS (Delphy’s QMS Tomato) is to use resources efficiently and manage quality and quantity of the product. The technology is focused on strategical decisions that a grower has to make for his cultivation planning. It includes decisions on climate strategy and crop actions.
