  • Publication number: 20230024142
    Abstract: A dosing station comprises a receiving area for receiving a module and a sampling system for acquiring water from the module, analyzing the water and determining a refill recipe based on one or more parameters of the water. The dosing station includes a nutrient dispenser arranged to dispense at least one nutrient into the module according to the refill recipe. The recipe can be based on the type of plants in the module, the age of the plant and/or the physical condition of the plants. The dosing station can change refill recipes for each module within an agricultural facility based on one or more parameters to optimize the nutrient supply for all plants within the agricultural facility.

  • Publication number: 20060225550
    Abstract: A control system for electric power tools to automatically control the operation of the machine and related systems. The control system includes a keypad for restricting operation of the machine to authorized users armed with knowledge of assigned access codes, while providing automated control of various machine components and systems. The system further includes electrical power output control for controlling power supplied to the machine and associated systems, a timer to limit operating time, and audio/visual warning beacons. Upon entering a security code, the control system functions to activate the machine by providing electrical power to any primary and secondary electric motors, lighting systems, power supply outlets, dust collection systems, and audio or visual safety warning systems. An internal timer disconnects the electrical power supply after a predetermined amount of time, e.g. 5 minutes, thereby insuring that the machine is not inadvertently left on.
