One of our customers uses the Crodeon Reporter for measuring temperatures in two different sections of a cactus greenhouse. Using the built-in alarm he can get an sms or phone call in case of a power outage or when the temperatures drop below a certain threshold.

So-called flow meters are used to measure the flow in pipes. These meters are designed to measure the amount of liquid flowing through a pipe at any given time. The liquid being measured can be water, gas, oil or other liquids and the composition and properties of this liquid determine the operation of a selected flow meter. In this blog post we limit ourselves to cold water measurements.

Crodeon is glad to announce that the Reporter is now compatible with the dendrometer sensor line-up of Ecomatik (DE). This enables many new possibilities for monitoring the growth and watering status of fruits and trees. In this post we will dive a bit deeper into some of the concrete advantages that growers will experience when making use of dendrometers on the job.

Whether it's about keeping food refrigerated or keeping medical products at the right temperature, a cold room is an indispensable investment for companies in many sectors. Storing goods at the wrong temperature can have disastrous consequences, so optimal use of your cold storage is of great importance.

At Crodeon, one of our core principles is local manufacturing. For us this means we work exclusively with Belgian assembly partners and we have numerous reasons to do so. Read on to find out why this is the right thing to do for Crodeon, especially in the long run.

In the summer of 2018, as many as 2.000 pigs died in a village not far from Eindhoven in the Netherlands. As the temperature in the barn rose to around 40 degrees after the ventilation system failed, the animals met their fatal end. Unfortunately, such scenes are not exceptional. What causes these situations is often a power outage or simply higher outside temperatures than the barn’s ventilation can handle. The cause of death is suffocation implying lack of oxygen or excessive CO2.

Both the WaterScout SM100 and the Watermark sensor measure soil moisture. However, there are some differences we can point out. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the two sensors, go over the main pros and cons and provide some tips on how you can get started quickly yourself.

Europe has been hit hard by issues with groundwater availability in recent years, shining light on a problem that many assumed was not that serious until now. Belgium for example is ranked 22nd in the “Water Risk Indicator”, a report by the World Resources Institute from 2019, and it seems that things will get even worse in the near future.
