Hoogendoorn Growth Management launches its biggest innovation to date in horticulture: IIVO. Not simply a new all-in-one process computer, but much more than that. IIVO is a ‘next level’ climate computer.
Intelligent climate control
IIVO offers smart technologies for covered cultivation. A combination of smart software and advanced hardware. This truly unique system is able to monitor and control any greenhouse. This allows you to grow more, at higher quality while using minimal resources. Not only is the system highly effective; it is also extremely efficient and sustainable, allowing you to generate maximum results. Whether you were born in a greenhouse or have never been in one. With self-learning controls and integrated safety, this is the future of horticulture. And the first step towards automated cultivation.

Effortless growth
IIVO constantly and consistently monitors all aspects of your greenhouse, including climate conditions, water management and energy management. But the system is capable of so much more. The system collects and archives data to create a complete, holistic overview of the conditions inside your greenhouse. IIVO can therefore be used as an advanced control computer to determine the specific needs of your crop at any time.
Experiences with IIVO: Schenkeveld
Family business Schenkeveld already uses IIVO in its tomato greenhouses. Richard Schenkeveld, Managing Director: ‘As a company, we participate in the Champions League among tomato growers. Hoogendoorn fits this scenario perfectly.’ Watch the video and find out more about Schenkeveld’s experiences with IIVO.
Strong water management
Plants need regular watering and a constant supply of nutrients to grow. IIVO's ‘drag and drop’ functionalities allow you to easily create settings and manage your irrigation strategy. You can set any starting conditions you prefer. Irrigation cycles can be started per tap based on time, jet intensity, substrate weight, water content and drain percentage. The water conditions are balanced and managed by integrated sensors. This ensures that your plants receive exactly the amount of water and nutrients they need. This, in turn, may reduce water consumption.
Smart energy management
IIVO’s advanced energy management ensures a stable management of energy sources in your greenhouse. The system is easy to integrate with energy sources such as boilers, combined heat and power (CHP), biomass, and thermal, solar and wind power. This ensures the most efficient use of heating and CO₂ according to the specific energy needs of your crop.
Experiences with IIVO: Great Northern Hydroponics & Cosmic Plants
Great Northern Hydroponics grows tomatoes on 30 hectares in Kingsville Ontario (Canada). IIVO has enabled Guido van het Hof and his team to implement the Data-Driven Growing strategy and the Plant Empowerment method within the company. Cosmic Plants Inc. grows orchids at two locations.
Neil van Steekelenburg: ‘When I saw how IIVO works, I was immediately enthusiastic. I knew immediately that I had to have this system for the other location as well.’ Watch the video and learn more about Great Northern Hydroponics and Cosmic Plants’ experiences with IIVO.
Complexity simplified
The user-friendly interface ensures the ease of use of IIVO. Even when operating the most complex systems. In addition to local operation, the system can also be operated online. This makes operation extremely fast. IIVO Remote allows you to control all your locations even more easily and efficiently, using any device of your choice. Wherever you are in the world. Your settings are safely stored in the Cloud, with up to unlimited data storage. Automatic backups are made to ensure continuity, and you can even update your system via your Internet connection.
