Verdict MeteoView improves agricultural production.

Verdict East Africa Ltd & Verdict Systems BV developed MeteoView, as a integrated platform to communicate information between growers, producers, advisors, customers, traders and other stakeholders. Data from various sensors are uploaded through internet and stored safely in protected databases. Data are presented in a secured web application for immediate view or further study in various scientific models. Diseases in crops can be predicted, Incidents during production can be prevented. Disease Models were developed in partnership with the University of Wageningen. Verdict MeteoView is developed for growers and advisors to process data from weather stations and wireless sensors in Green houses into automated information to support a grower in his daily decisions. Depending on the customers requirements, we select and install the most appropriate equipment for measuring temperature, humidity, rain, soil moisture and EC, light and many other parameters. Measurements may be done on a single spot or over a certain area to create a 3D-view of a nursery. All data and information are presented in an integrated Web Application: Verdict MeteoView.
