Biome Delta Expands Greenhouse Technology Portfolio
Biome Delta has announced a new distribution partnership with Quantified Sensor Technology (Quantified) to introduce a wireless monitoring solution for greenhouse climate and fertigation systems across North America. Under the agreement, Biome Delta and its channel partners will work with growers to integrate Quantified’s sensor network into the technology stack of mid- and high-tech greenhouse operations.
The partnership aims to support data-driven decision-making by providing detailed insights into greenhouse climate conditions, root zone dynamics, and plant-level performance. The system is designed to help growers optimize resource use, improve crop outcomes, and manage operational risk.
“We are very pleased to collaborate with Biome Delta in the North American market,” said Paul Kengen, Founder and CEO of Quantified. “Biome Delta is perfectly positioned to offer our sensor solutions to American and Canadian growers, helping them optimize their greenhouse climate, fertigation, and labour efficiency.”
Integrated Data Platform and Software Compatibility
A core component of the partnership is Quantified’s InSight data platform and application programming interface (API). The platform is compatible with several widely used greenhouse control and analytics systems, including Priva, Source.ag, Let’sGrow.com, and IIVO. This interoperability allows growers to integrate sensor data into existing workflows without overhauling their current systems.
The software layer is complemented by a modular hardware architecture designed to capture both environmental and crop-specific data in real time.
Multi-Layer Hardware System for Plant and Root Zone Insights
FireFly Node and Sensor Extensions
At the center of the system is the FireFly node, which collects climate data and serves as a communication hub for connected sensors. These include an infrared thermometer that measures plant-level temperature to assess evapotranspiration and detect early stress responses such as stomatal closure.
Root Zone and Crop Weight Monitoring
The Smart Gutter component focuses on fertigation optimization by monitoring feed and drain solution temperature, electrical conductivity, volume, root zone temperature, pH, slab weight, and EC. In addition, the Crop Weight Monitor—a hanging scale system—tracks the weight of high-wire crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers, supporting optimal harvest timing and yield management.
Focus on Resource Efficiency and Risk Management
“Costly resources, evolving crop needs, and prevalent risks keep growers’ targets moving,” said Eliot Merrill, Founder of Biome Delta. “Automated metrics on plant and root vitality, climate uniformity, and input-use efficiency allow growers to quantify crop needs, conserve resources, and mitigate risks proactively.”
Biome Delta stated that the partnership reflects growing demand among greenhouse growers for integrated, sensor-based solutions that support precision management and operational efficiency.
