The partnership will integrate Panasonic Industry's Bluetooth wireless modules into RED's advanced lighting systems, in a move that’s designed to enhance crop yields and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
RED Horticulture is working with growers and providing solutions that aim to maximise crop potential while minimising energy consumption. By combining advanced hardware, patented software and agronomic expertise, RED is among a growing number of companies that are revolutionising greenhouse horticulture. Panasonic Industry’s wireless communication modules have an increasingly important role to play to ensure RED’s lighting systems operate efficiently in demanding greenhouse environments.
“Partnering with RED Horticulture allows us to contribute to their mission to provide more sustainable and energy-efficient lighting solutions to a world where high-tech greenhouses are vital for ensuring producing healthy food in the present and future,” said Chetan Joshi, Lead Product Manager of Panasonic Industry. “Our experience in driving radio performance in Bluetooth Mesh and other mesh networking protocols aligned perfectly with RED’s requirement for seamless networking for growth lighting control efficiency in horticulture.”
The collaboration with Panasonic Industry will offer RED enhanced reliability and performance, due to Panasonic's proven track record of zero failures in harsh greenhouse conditions.
“As the horticulture market faces increasing pressures, particularly in the energy prices, our commitment to innovate in dynamic lighting for cost reduction, with an easy wireless retrofit is more vital than ever. Panasonic Industry’s expertise in IoT solutions complements our vision for a sustainable future in greenhouse horticulture,” explained Timo Spruijt, CCO at RED Horticulture. “Through strategic partnerships like this, we aim to continuously develop dynamic and practical solutions designed to meet the complex challenges growers face.”
