AgriTech example

A strawberry greenhouse, today and tomorrow.

This is the digital twin of a plant as Operator shows it: every object in the model is linked to tags and moves with the real values. Here the values are simulated and time runs faster: one second is one minute in the greenhouse.

With AI machine learning learns from the greenhouse's history and forecasts climate, water needs and growth for the coming days; it flags anomalies before they turn into damage.

VPD: how hard the air “pulls” water from the leaves. For flowering strawberries 0.7 to 1.1 kPa is about right.
