About Quantified Sensor Technology
Quantified Sensor Technology B.V. is a Dutch company that develops wireless sensor solutions for covered and open-field farming. Its systems help growers monitor crop, climate, substrate, and root-zone conditions in real time so they can make fact-based decisions about irrigation, fertigation, and cultivation management.
The company positions itself as a practical precision-agriculture partner for growers, breeders, and research-oriented horticulture businesses. Through its own dashboard, Insight, and integrations with external platforms, Quantified aims to make field and greenhouse data accessible wherever the user prefers to work, whether on a phone, PC, or partner software platform.
Core Values
- Fact-based growing: Quantified emphasizes reliable, real-time measurements so growers can validate what is actually happening in the crop environment rather than relying only on manual checks.
- Efficiency: The company focuses on reducing unnecessary travel, manual logging, and routine greenhouse visits by replacing them with continuous remote monitoring.
- Resource savings: Its solutions are positioned to help reduce the use of water, nutrients, energy, and chemicals through better-informed cultivation decisions.
- Sustainability: Quantified presents its technology as a way to make agriculture and horticulture more sustainable by improving control over inputs and growing conditions.
- Ease of use: Plug-and-play installation, wireless operation, and user-friendly integrations are recurring themes in how the company describes its products.
Unique Aspects
- Platform-agnostic approach: Quantified explicitly supports data use through its own Insight dashboard as well as external platforms, making it easier for growers to keep data in the environment they already use.
- Modular FireFly concept: The FireFly platform can connect to different sensors and even integrate sensors from other developers, giving users a configurable and expandable setup.
- Broad real-world use cases: The website highlights use across tomato production, bell peppers, soft fruits, seed breeding, and research settings, showing applicability beyond a single crop type.
- Validated in research and challenge settings: Quantified notes use in the Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge 2024 and validation in the EIP-AGRI Nursery Stock Growing Support System project, which supports credibility in applied horticulture research.
- International deployment examples: Customer stories mention use across the Netherlands, the United States, Australia, and other European locations, indicating that the systems are designed for multi-site operations.
