WHEN DO WE USE A COMPUTER SYSTEM?

If you want to have computer systems in greenhouses, you have to look at the special circumstances and the traditional things for the country.

In Sweden we mostly have small companies.
Many of them are old and not modern.
The heating systems are different from each other, but we have one firm which dominates the market.

Today the growers get better information than earlier about heating systems and how to do to save energy.
They can also get a special loan for energy saving steps.

The question is if it is possible economically or not, to computerize a great number of companies in Sweden?.

If we build new greenhouses with the low tempe rated energy techniques, there must be a better need for a computer to co-ordinate the different parts.
But if this will give good economy in the future, depends also on how good accuracy in climate regulation can be used biologically.
