Strict requirements for greenhouse monitoring medical cannabis

Pharma retailers specializing in medical marijuana and cannabis products are facing proper monitoring from the growing phases to the delivery. There are four periods of cannabis growing, all requiring different temperature and humidity levels: Seedling, vegetation, flowering, and late flowering. To ensure consistent product quality, it is necessary that the plants always grow under the same conditions. This requires constant monitoring of temperature and humidity: Throughout the greenhouse phase and during examinations in the in-house laboratory in order to be able to react to temperature fluctuations.

In addition, strict access control during production and transport is extremely important. This is because in many countries cannabis is only permitted for medical purposes and is otherwise considered a narcotic or drug. In order to make sure that no goods are stolen, it must therefore be ensured that the expensive substances are monitored during every transport, even after production.

Because marijuana and cannabis products are considered medical substances, they are also subject to GxP (GMP, GDP, GLP) guidelines. Meeting these often requires elaborate SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and personnel trained in them. A time-consuming, cost-intensive, but also an error-prone process that can be simplified by Tec4med's solutions:
