Greenhouse growers of strawberries and blueberries using platform for digitization of data.

North Vancouver, BC, March 31, 2022--(T-Net)--Consumer demand for fresh, locally-grown berries has never been higher, and many greenhouse operators in Canada and throughout North America have recently been seen switching crops to grow fresh berries to supply local markets.

In response to these growers' requests, and wanting to support consumer's access to locally-grown fresh food, ecoation says it is now offering its data digitization platform to strawberry and blueberry growers, with growers in Canada and Mexico already using the platform in their farms to digitize their IPM programs.

The platform will also allow these growers to monitor crop work, as well as capture fruit count and store the data securely for analysis.

Ecoation is well known for its data digitization work for greenhouse crops such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, with deployments of its software/hardware platform in greenhouses worldwide, so it's a natural progression that the company begins reaching other greenhouse grown crops.
