MyLedgnd, the software and data platform of Dutch independent lighting consultant and data integrator for greenhouse horticulture Ledgnd, has undergone a major makeover.

Featuring a new interface and updated color scheme with shades of green, "the most important thing is that the user-friendliness for growers is further increased," says Maarten Van Bemmel, product owner MyLedgnd.

The changes are based on feedback Ledgnd received from existing users, with the company working on the redesign for a number of months.

With MyLedgnd, users' greenhouse data is made transparent. This gives growers a clear picture of the different climate factors and their influences on crops. Based on the data that MyLedgnd collects and analyzes, growers can then optimize their cultivation strategies.

Due to the introduction of increasingly innovative techniques such as sensors and APIs with climate computers, Van Bemmel says it's important that all this information is properly communicated, and the grower retains an overview.

According to Van Bemmel, MyLedgnd users should be able to easily link to other systems and determine for themselves which data is and is not imported.

"With the new MyLedgnd interface, we give growers even more power over their own data, so that they can manage the data themselves and work with it independently. So we are going next level with MyLedgnd."

With the online dashboard, graphs and models, growers gain insight into their greenhouse climate. 

"We constantly ask our customers what the next steps are that they want, which integrations they find important and what else is missing," Van Bemmel said. "We then fill this in by introducing new functionalities. So, we really develop everything in consultation with our customers. It is also important that the platform is logical to use and certainly not too complex. The user must be able to get everything out of it himself. Of course, we help where necessary with interpreting the data, but every grower should be able to get started with MyLedgnd with as little explanation as possible."
