Expanding Dynamic Lighting Solutions
Heliospectra AB (Profile), a global leader in smart LED lighting for controlled environments, has unveiled its Dynamic MITRA X C3 and C4 systems, marking a significant advancement in greenhouse lighting technology. With customizable three-channel and four-channel configurations, the systems empower growers with greater flexibility to optimize plant development across various growth stages.
Bonny Heeren, CEO of Heliospectra AB, explained: “The modularity of MITRA X allows growers to customize installations and adapt to their unique needs, whether they require static, flex, or dynamic lighting solutions. By introducing dynamic spectrum control to the MITRA X platform, we’re bringing unparalleled precision and flexibility to greenhouse growers.”
Key Features of MITRA X Systems
- MITRA X C3 (3 Channels): Includes a base PAR spectrum with horti-white and far-red channels, ideal for tailoring light spectrums to specific plant phases or varieties. It also features work-mode lighting for enhanced visibility during harvesting and maintenance.
- MITRA X C4 (4 Channels): Offers red, blue, white, and far-red channels for complete spectrum customization. This configuration allows growers to create light recipes that mimic natural sunrise and sunset transitions or adjust light spectrums for vegetative growth, flowering, and propagation.
- Both systems include a boost function, redistributing power across active channels to maintain light intensity while conserving energy.
Integration with HelioCORE™
The MITRA X systems integrate with Heliospectra’s HelioCORE™ software, which has been at the forefront of light management innovation for a decade. Key features include:
- Dynamic Zoning: Real-time light adjustments across multiple facility zones.
- Custom Light Recipes: Ensures consistency and repeatability for specific crops.
- Spectrum Design and Scheduling: Enables fine-tuning of light wavelengths for optimized crop performance.
- Energy Tracking: Provides insights into energy consumption for cost analysis and efficiency improvements.
Sustainable Solutions for Modern Agriculture
Heliospectra’s new lighting systems reflect its commitment to energy-efficient technology, supporting growers in reducing operational costs while maintaining crop quality and yield.
“These innovations help growers control their perfect day and reflect our mission to empower growers with the tools they need to meet future food demands sustainably and responsibly,” said Heeren.
Availability
The Dynamic MITRA X LED solutions are now available for professional growers and researchers. Heliospectra will showcase the new systems at upcoming industry events, including Fruit Logistica and Horticontact, where visitors can experience live demonstrations.
