How Ortolanda continues to benefit from Priva Operator

Always at your fingertips

The modern radish producer has been using a Priva process computer to automate climate and irrigation since 1990. Melchior Coolbergen decided to start using Priva Operator in early 2022. The main reason behind this decision was the fact that he needed to have constant access to the processes in the greenhouse. “Accessibility is extremely important for me. With Operator, I can keep an eye on what is happening in the greenhouse at all times, even when I’m somewhere else – at home, for example. But it is also very useful when I am in the greenhouse as it enables me to make any necessary adjustments quickly and easily.”

Focus on the key processes

He also rates the personalization options in the app very highly. Melchior: “Being able to create personal dashboards is really useful. You can set them up exactly how you want them and put focus on the key processes. Then you can see at a glance whether everything is running smoothly.”

Data-rich charts

Operator allows you to select and combine different measurements into one chart – a handy way to gain new insights. Melchior: “I often use charts to view historic data. For example, I might look at a particular period in the past to check whether there were any specific changes in the temperature.”

Stay informed of all your active and historical alarms with Notification Center

Melchior also likes to use the Notification Center app, which is part of Priva Connected. “If there is a fault in a system, I immediately get a notification on my phone telling me about the fault. In the past, I would get a phone call and had to go and see what the problem was. It is much easier for me now and saves a lot of time.”

Priva Notification Center provides you with an overview of the alarms in all Priva systems at your horticultural business. Discover more.
