Priva Integro version 730 and Priva Office version 4

As part of the ongoing commitment by Priva to support training at Chisholm Institute, Priva's Peter Mos recently upgraded our Integro system to version 730, and we also recieved an upgrade to Priva Office version 4.

The training that Peter delivered highlighted the advantages of the improved working platforms, but we have placed a video link on this blog so that you can gain an overview of the generic improvements Priva have made. The link is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B61O3McKXcM

For further details on these upgrades, please call your local Priva dealer, or feel free to contact us to see first hand how the systems have improved.  

Learning from the Master

This week we hosted a training session for growers who wanted to learn more about managing their glasshouse climates with the Priva Integro climate control computer.

The participants were existing users of Integro, and Peter Mos of Priva was on hand to deliver the training.

Peter Mos

Although Peter is renowned for his skills in energy management, he also proved to be an extremely competent trainer in the general issues that surround climate management. The course participants were treated to a wealth of information from Peter that provided a great insight in to how to get more from individual systems.

Taking in the knowledge.................

Whilst most growers know what they know, there is also a train of thought that most growers may not know what they don't know! The course was fundamentally designed to 'open the eyes' of the growers so that they could realise more potential from their systems. And the final outcome certainly proved this to be the case.

There are now plans to deliver more of these joint Priva / Chisholm training courses to equip growers with knowledge in a short time frame, that can then be translated back to the workplace.

Further details will be placed on the blog, but if you are interested in specific issues relating to Priva training, please contact Tony via e mail at tony.bundock@chisholm.edu.au

Priva Dealer and Grower Training

This week we have a pretty busy schedule in terms of facilitating training for the wider industry. 

We have been  joined by Peter Mos of Priva NL, for three days, who is delivering two days of specialised training to Australian Priva dealers.

Peter will be spending time informing the dealers of the latest developments in both Priva Office and the latest Priva operating system for Priva Integro -this being version 730.

During his stay, Peter will be upgrading the Chisholm system to the latest versions of both Priva Office and Integro so that future students at Chisholm can learn on the latest versions of this climate management system. 


On Wednesday Peter will be facilitating a training day for growers, so that existing users can build on their knowledge and expand their capabilities with their systems. This promises to be a really beneficially day for all participants.


We still have a couple of places left for this course, so contact us on either 03 5990 7163 or via tony.bundock@chisholm.edu.au if you want to join this training session.
