QuipAssist tracks any commercial greenhouse or nursery asset — including gas-fired heating systems and unit heaters, hot water boilers and distribution systems, evaporative cooling systems, pad-and-fan cooling systems, mechanical refrigeration cooling, retractable ventilation roof systems, shade curtain systems, thermal screens, greenhouse glazing systems (polycarbonate, glass, poly film), high-pressure sodium lighting systems and ballasts, LED grow light systems, irrigation pumps and distribution systems, drip and overhead irrigation infrastructure, ebb-and-flow system components, reverse osmosis and water treatment systems, UV sterilizers and filtration systems, fertigation and nutrient dosing systems, CO₂ injection systems, environmental controls and monitoring systems, transplanting and potting equipment, and facility building systems. Equipment categories are fully customizable for each operation’s specific production infrastructure.

QuipAssist’s continuous IoT monitoring protects greenhouse crops during periods when on-site staff are not present — overnight, weekends, and holidays — by detecting climate deviations within minutes of occurrence regardless of staffing level. When a heating system begins to fail on a cold winter night, IoT temperature sensors detect the developing temperature drop before it reaches crop-damaging thresholds and alert the greenhouse manager and the HVAC contractor immediately. Without IoT monitoring, the same failure would not be discovered until staff arrive in the morning — potentially after hours of damaging temperature exposure. For high-value crop cycles where a single overnight heating failure could represent tens of thousands of dollars in crop loss, IoT monitoring pays for itself in the first incident it prevents. Alert thresholds are configured for each growing space based on crop-specific temperature sensitivity rather than generic HVAC comfort ranges.

QuipAssist’s crop-cycle-aware maintenance scheduling works by identifying the inter-crop windows — the periods between harvest and replanting when equipment can be serviced without crop risk — and scheduling maintenance programs to use these windows efficiently. Greenhouse operators configure their anticipated crop calendar in the system, and PM tasks that require significant equipment downtime or chemical treatments that cannot occur around living crops are scheduled to begin during inter-crop windows with advance reminders that fire in time to confirm vendor availability and coordinate the work scope. Pre-plant readiness checklists — verifying that irrigation, heating, lighting, and ventilation systems are all functional before new transplants arrive — are deployed as seasonal templates that run through every critical system before each new crop cycle begins. The result is that each crop cycle starts with all systems verified functional rather than discovering failures after expensive transplants are already in the ground.

Yes. Commercial greenhouse producers of leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other edible crops operate under FDA FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements — which include equipment sanitation, water quality, and growing environment maintenance standards. QuipAssist supports food safety compliance documentation by tracking sanitation equipment PM, water treatment system maintenance (including the UV sterilization and filtration maintenance relevant to Produce Safety Rule water quality requirements), growing environment monitoring records, and any other maintenance activity relevant to the produce safety program. For operations seeking third-party food safety certification or conducting buyer audits, QuipAssist’s exportable maintenance records provide the systematic documentation evidence that certification and audit programs require. Note: FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements vary by operation type and size — always work with your food safety consultant to confirm that your maintenance documentation addresses all applicable requirements.
