The reality gap
Static boundsBuilt to control.
Not to diagnose.
Wide static thresholds miss continuous sensor calibration drift, sticky mixing valves and frozen actuator outputs until setpoints collapse.
Predictive infrastructure monitoring
Reads the data your greenhouse already produces. Catches silent failures — stuck sensors, drift, dying valves. 24–48 hours before the crop feels it. No new hardware. Works on top of your climate system.
Works with the systems you already run
A real case
In a working commercial greenhouse, a humidity sensor sat frozen at 100% RH for 164 consecutive hours. The SCADA system reported "normal" the entire time. This is the exact failure Grovsen is built to catch — the one no threshold alarm is watching for.

A fault this simple, invisible for a week — because every individual reading still looked plausible. This is the blind spot Grovsen closes.
The invisible window
Traditional controls wait for a threshold breach. Grovsen reads the relationships between signals — and sees the fault while every channel still looks fine.

Diagnostic architecture
Greenhouse climate computers are designed to maintain setpoints inside compartments, not diagnose degradation in the central utility equipment supporting them.
The reality gap
Static boundsWide static thresholds miss continuous sensor calibration drift, sticky mixing valves and frozen actuator outputs until setpoints collapse.
The Grovsen layer
Root-cause linkedConnects compartment sensors with upstream boiler PLCs, buffer tanks and mixing circuits to isolate mechanical failure before biological wilt occurs.
Why Grovsen
We touch nothing.
Read-only observation. No control, no PID interference, no risk to your climate system.
Start from a CSV.
Export your existing sensor history — no installation, no IT project. First findings in 48 hours.
Works on any system.
Vendor-agnostic — sits on top of Priva, Hoogendoorn, Ridder or custom IoT. No lock-in.
We don't optimize. We catch failures.
Not another yield tool. We find the silent equipment faults your sensors can't flag alone.
Free pilot. No obligation.
Share historical data, get a baseline audit. No purchase required to see what we find.
The detection engine
A two-pass architecture learns your facility’s real operating envelope, validates events against thermodynamic behavior and returns a maintenance-ready fault class.
COLD-START ENGINE
Cleans unlabeled historical data before baseline learning, preventing real faults from inflating what the model accepts as normal.
Operational logic
Calculates median deviations across sensor histories to strip out historical glitches, communication drops, and unflagged sensor freezes before they can contaminate your baseline model.
Commercial evidence
Benchmarked across a full year of five-minute commercial greenhouse data, including seasonal transitions and saturated humidity.

€15k–€50k
industry-estimated loss per compartment
For high-value crops such as tomatoes, berries and peppers, industry estimates put a single heating or dehumidification failure at €15,000–€50,000 per compartment.
Economic risk asymmetry
In high-value CEA, one hectare of tomatoes, berries or peppers holds €400,000–€800,000 in crop. A single undetected equipment fault can quietly erase a slice of that before any alarm fires.

|---|---|---|
| Detection point | Threshold breached after plant wilt (t = 36h) | Sub-surface drift isolated at boiler/pipe (t = 2h) |
| Action | Reactive crop triage & salvage | Proactive 15-minute valve/boiler repair |
| Financial impact | €15k–€50k batch damage + energy waste | €0 crop loss; normal diurnal cycle maintained |

Pilot access
We’ll review the fit and send the exact export requirements for your climate system.
Your logs remain confidential and are used only to model your facility’s operating baseline.
What happens next
Share 3–6 weeks of standard sensor logs. No installation or live-system access.
We identify historical equipment drift and separate it from normal process variation.
Your operator checks alerts against maintenance records in a 20-minute review.
