Unique in the world
A farm can have 6 to 12 climate chambers, each capable of housing 40 growing machines. The climate is controlled in real time: temperature, humidity, CO2 and lighting.
A rotating cylinder is equipped with 360° central lighting and a root irrigation system. Its 48 growing trays are filled with potting soil for seedlings.
The fertigation system is automated. It precisely manages micro-dosing of nutrients, with no loss, reprocessing or recirculation of water.
AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) move growing systems for filling, harvesting and maintenance. AI-analyzed images are used to monitor plant growth.
The "Supervisor" application controls the entire operation of the farm. It automatically executes recipes and controls all production equipment.
