Transforming Greenhouses Globally via Intelligent Wireless Platform

Cosmicnode empowers growers to harness the power of precision agriculture. Our advanced technology and closed-loop algorithms ensure that crops receive the optimal light spectrum and intensity at every stage of development, maximizing yield and quality

Features

Address the Needs of a Grower

Cosmicnode system provides growers with full control over the light spectrum and climatic conditions in the greenhouses.

We offer two flavours of solutions:

Cloud-Based Solution: Infinity LMS Platform
The Infinity LMS Platform empowers growers to remotely monitor and control their grow lamps with ease. This cloud-based platform offers seamless access to real-time data on lamp intensity, spectrum distribution, and power consumption, enabling growers to make informed decisions about lighting optimization.

Standalone Mode: Light-Weight Web Page
For growers seeking localized control and monitoring, Cosmicnode offers a standalone mode that utilizes a lightweight web application.

01

Light Level

Use controls to set the optimum light levels required for a crop i.e. amount of light required for a crop (in μmol/s2)

02

Light Spectrum

Use controls to provide the right spectrum of light for a crop. i.e. from UV to infrared as per the recipe defined by the grower.

03

Light Scheduling

Based on the type of crop and recipe, grower can use calendar functionality for the entire duration of the recipe. These calendars can be pre-defined based on the seasons for an entire year.

04

Sensor Controls

Sensor control loop functionality triggers automatic control of light intensity based on a threshold PPFD value set by the grower

05

Integration with Climate Computer

Seamless integration with the climate computers of Priva, Hoogendoorn, Ridder via modbus RS485 or TCP-IP protocol.

CASE STUDIES

The Work We Do and the People We Help

Smart Lighting Controls for a 10 Hectare Greenhouse in the Netherlands

Customer Requirement

  • The requirement to set and control the spectrum and intensity levels
  • Multi-zone light management
  • Schedule and monitor lights via simple and intuitive Ul
  • Reporting of multiple parameters like PPFD, temperature, humidity, energy consumption, etc

20+% reduction in energy consumption

The grower can set the exact
light level and spectrum required for the crop

Complete automation and control of lights

Cosmicnode Solution

  • Successfully deployed 5200 light nodes in tomato greenhouse spread across 10 hectares.
  • 5200 light nodes split into 9 zones in the greenhouse.
  • Cosmicnode application enables greenhouse growers to define the right light levels, set up calendar routines, and automate the entire process.
  • Our smart controls also help growers to bring down the energy consumption.

Quality of Service(QoS)

The best-in-class Quality of Service (QoS) – bandwidth and latency for a wireless mesh network depends on the specific application. Cosmicnode wireless mesh network designed for high-performance applications such as real-time control and monitoring.

Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update

supports device Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates over the mesh network. This means that firmware updates can be pushed to all devices on the network without the need to manually update each device individually. OTA can be performed even if some of the devices on the network are offline.

Bi-directional communication

Near real-time bidirectional communication is a type of communication that allows data to be transmitted and received in both directions with minimal latency. This makes it ideal for applications where it is important to have a quick response time, such as real-time control and monitoring.

Efficiency & Collision Avoidance

Cosmicnode wireless mesh network uses a proprietary routing algorithm designed for efficiency and collision avoidance. This algorithm is based on a number of factors, including the distance between nodes, the quality of the links between nodes, and the current traffic load on the network. It is designed to find the most efficient path for data packets to travel. 

No Single Point of Failure

All mesh nodes in a network can communicate with each other directly, without the need for a central bridge or coordinator. This decentralized communication structure makes mesh networks highly resilient to failures and capable of scaling to large numbers of nodes. Every mesh node can be configured as a transmitter and a receiver, and can forward data packets to other nodes in the network.

Lowest single hop latency

Cosmicnode wireless mesh network has a single hop latency of 15ms. This is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from one mesh node to another. This is a very low latency, which makes Cosmicnode ideal for applications such as real-time control and monitoring.
  •   Efficient routing algorithms: Cosmicnode uses efficient routing algorithms to quickly find the best path for data packets to travel.
  •   Adaptive channel selection: Cosmicnode uses adaptive channel selection to choose the best channel for data transmission based on current conditions.

Highly reliable and scalable

A distributed, highly reliable, scalable, and bidirectional wireless mesh network is a type of network that is designed to be resilient to failures and to be able to handle a large number of devices. It is also designed to be able to communicate in both directions, which makes it ideal for applications such as real-time control and monitoring.

Multi Radio Technology BLE and 2.4GHz

Cosmicnode wireless mesh network uses BLE and 2.4GHz in a complementary way. BLE is used for low-power communication and mesh networking, while 2.4GHz is used for high-bandwidth communication. This combination of technologies allows the Cosmicnode wireless mesh network to provide a highly reliable, low latency, and scalable solution for a wide range of applications. BLE BLE is a low-power wireless technology that is well-suited for wireless mesh networks. BLE has a number of advantages for mesh networks, including:
  •  Low power consumption: BLE devices consume very little power, which is important for mesh networks where devices may be battery powered.
  •  Short-to-mid range: BLE devices can have a range of up to 100 meters in ideal conditions. This makes BLE suitable for mesh networks where devices may be spread out over a large area.
  •  Mesh networking support: BLE supports mesh networking out of the box, making it easy to create mesh networks with BLE devices.  
2.4GHz 2.4GHz is a high-bandwidth wireless technology that is well-suited for applications that require high data throughput. 2.4GHz has a number of advantages for mesh networks, including: High bandwidth: 2.4GHz devices can support data rates of up to 250 kbps. This makes 2.4GHz suitable for mesh networks where devices need to transfer large amounts of data, such as real-time video or audio. Long range: 2.4GHz devices can have a range of up to 1000 meters in ideal conditions. This makes 2.4GHz suitable for mesh networks where devices may be spread out over a large area.
