| GreenTech 2025: The future of horticulture from ams OSRAM  What does the future of horticulture look like? For ams OSRAM, it centers on customized light, intelligent technology, and sustainable systems. At GreenTech 2025, the company will showcase its role as a global innovation leader in professional horticulture lighting, sensing and plant treatment—presenting a portfolio that sets new benchmarks for efficiency, sustainability, and crop optimization. From June 10 to 12 in Amsterdam, GreenTech visitors can explore how the latest-generation LED and sensor solutions from ams OSRAM enhance plant growth, save energy, and promote sustainable farming. At Hall 05, Booth 05.357, attendees will experience hands-on demonstrations of UV-C disinfection systems, chemical-free weed control, and high-performance greenhouse LEDs, including a UV-C robotic arm, a drone, and an algae reactor—all bringing sustainability to life.Spark curiosity. Fuel growth. Shape the future. The major highlight of ams OSRAM's trade fair presentation will be the new high-power LED OSCONIQ P 3737 GEN 2 - with the highest efficiency in its class and a strong focus on sustainability. It is the perfect choice as a toplight mounted on greenhouse ceilings, for interlighting between rows of plants and flowers, and as a standalone light source for vertical farming. Thanks to its 82.4 % total efficiency in Hyper Red and a photon flux of 6.09 µmol/s with minimal energy consumption, it significantly boosts photosynthetic performance and noticeably shortens crop cycles. Compared to its predecessor, the GEN 2 version provides 3.2 % more performance, 2.2 % higher efficiency, and supports a maximum drive current of 2, 800 mA in both Hyper Red and Far Red. This reduces the number of LEDs required, lowers energy consumption, and enables compact, multi-channel luminaire designs. The OSCONIQ P 3737 GEN 2 is part of a comprehensive horticulture portfolio covering all key wavelengths—from Hyper Red and Far Red to Deep Blue. Another version of the high-power LED, the OSCONIQ P 3737 Batwing, will be launched later this year. Sustainable, innovative solutions: disinfection at the flick of a switch Sustainable horticulture approaches that ams OSRAM is pushing forward also include cutting-edge UV-C LEDs and spectral sensors. UV-C LED technology offers numerous advantages to farmers and agricultural holdings. UV-C light positively influences a variety of key parameters: it facilitates pest and disease control, accelerates growth rates, boosts crop yields, and improves both nutrient uptake and plant resistance to pathogens. UV-C LEDs from ams OSRAM are tailored to match the unique demands of each application, striking the perfect balance between germicidal performance, top-level quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The company also offers innovative solutions for sustainable weed control: camera-based systems combined with 455 nm laser diodes from ams OSRAM enable farmers to boost their productivity through efficient and reliable weed detection and eradication. Chemical-free and with high precision. A new key innovation for intelligent lighting systems State-of-the-art drones and agricultural robots can be equipped with a versatile range of spectral sensors and cameras designed to collect valuable data on plant health, phenotyping, and water stress. With the addition of the new TCS3448, a 14-channel multi-spectral sensor, the company has further strengthened its sensor portfolio. Compact, efficient, and software-compatible with existing solutions such as the AS7343, the TCS3448 simplifies the development of next-generation miniaturized spectral systems—perfect for urban farming, medical technology, industrial lighting control, and much more. With a spectral range of 350 to 900 nm, integrated flicker detection up to 1 kHz, and an ultra-compact footprint of just 3.1 × 2.0 × 1.0 mm, the TCS3448 delivers precise light and color data for a wide range of applications. Making the future of horticulture tangible At GreenTech 2025, ams OSRAM invites visitors to engage with its innovations through interactive demos: a UV-C and blue laser robotic arm for disinfection and weed control, an algae reactor illustrating the role of light in CO₂ capture and bioeconomy applications, and a spectral drone with direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensors for real-time environmental monitoring. write your comments about the article :: © 2025 Construction News :: home page |
